Super emplacement pour visiter la ville. Confortable. Coin cuisine pratique. Petits guides et livres disponibles. Personnel réactif.

Bien que joli dans l'ensemble, beaucoup de petits défauts sur les murs, la porte de douche, pas de torchon à vaisselle..

Cons:

Pretty much got ghosted by the staff regarding an issue we had with the radiator. Quite frustrating because it became unpleasant to stay in the room with how hot it was.

Ubicación perfecta
Pros:

La ubicación del alojamiento es súper buena, enfrente del Castillo y cerca de todo

Cons:

El colchón està como hundido hacia dentro, un cambio del mismo sería ideal porque para dormir quedas engullido por el colchón

Beautiful area, comfortable lodging, I have already recommended it to family and friends.
Pros:

Really nice location and lodging. During the week, it was very quiet even though it is close to the main street (Princes St). Also very close to all the public transportation and that is easy to use.
Please make sure you know that there are many stairs to get your apartment.
Checkin and checkout was easy - keypad and electronic door opening worked well. Apartment was clean and comfortable. A wonderful place to come at the end of a day full of adventures and just relax. TV and wifi worked great as well.

Cons:

For folks who aren't familiar with the appliances, maybe have some sort of instructions for operation. Honestly, (and don't laugh at me) I didn't know what a hob was! lol

Pros:

Ļoti patīkams, ērts dzīvoklis pašā pilsētas centrā. Ērta iekļūšana nakstsmītnē ar koda palīdzību.

Cons:

Aizmirsām paņemt līdzi attiecīgu elektrības pārveidotāju, nācās pirkt, bet būtu jauki, ja kāds viens rezerves būtu dzīvoklītī. Nebija atstāti virtuves dvieļi vai salvetes, kas arī nedaudz sagādāja neertības. Bet tie ir sīkumi un kopumā ar naktsmītni esam ļoti apmierināti.

Goede locatie en prima appartement
Pros:

Locatie is goed. We hebben niet gekookt dus kan hier niets over zeggen. Et stond koffie/thee en koekjes klaar. Water koken moet met een fluitketel maar dat was prima. Koelkast, tosti apparaat en magnetron aanwezig.
Inchecken en deuren openen ging prima met de website.
Er lagen oordopjes klaar maar die hebben we niet hoeven gebruiken.

Cons:

Er is weinig ruimte in de slaapkamer. 1 iemand moet over het bed heen klimmen om in te kunnen stappen.
Wasbak was zo klein dat je alleen je handen daar kon wassen. Tandenpoetsen en scheren etc moest in de keuken gedaan worden. Ook is er te weinig licht bij de spiegel in de badkamer.
Verlichting in de huiskamer was ook slecht. Je moet het licht bij de keuken aanzetten om extra licht te hebben. Stoelen in de huiskamer zijn onhandig om goed in te zitten.

Pros:

Tolle Lage, für Sightseeing alles fußläufig erreichbar. Die Unterkunft ist in New Town gelegen, in einem alten Gebäude, alles renoviert. Gute Ausstattung, zum Kochen theoretisch alles vorhanden, auch wenn wir zum Essen immer auswärts waren. Check In verläuft im Vorfeld über das Online Portal, sehr einfach und problemlos, auch wenn man daher nie persönlich Kontakt zum Personal hat. Kein Zimmerservice/Reinigung vorhanden, kann aber offensichtlich auf Anfrage gebucht werden (haben wir nicht genutzt). Apartment war sehr sauber, super Größe. Obwohl Oropax bereit gelegt war, war es total ruhig! Kein Straßenlärm, kein Lärm durch Nachbarn, nachts komplett still (vielleicht auch saisonabhängig? Waren zu Ostern da). Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden.

Cons:

Nichts

In generale ok. Piano di scale infinite senza ascensore ma non è stato un problema per noi. La posizione è sicuramente i
Pros:

Posizione ottima davvero, super centrale.

Cons:

La stanza era un tantino sporca, piatti unti, padelle con rimasugli di cibo, non ci sono praticamente finestre perché non si aprono.
La camera da letto è freddissima, consigliamo di accendere riscaldamenti dalla mattina.
Lo staff è gentile, anche se ci hanno fatto attendere 20 minuti in più al check in e quando siamo entrate il pavimento era completamente bagnato ( non essendoci finestre, abbiamo dovuto attendere che si asciugasse). Al momento del check out non ci hanno nemmeno risposto su whatsapp.A livello di pulizia non è malissimo, shampoo e balsamo sono super. Appartamento è esteticamente molto carino, buono per passare 1 notte massimo 2.
