Kirian at front desk/check-in was amazing. I had been awake, traveling for 32 hours, and was horribly rude and childish when told our room wouldnt be ready until 1730. He remained professional and courteous despite my ridiculous entitled behavior.

Great Appartment/Hotel

Great hotel in an excellent location close to the town center. Appartment was clean and although the decorations were pretty basic it seemed modern and was comfortable. Appartment was spacious with all the facilities you would expect. No TV in bedroom only in sitting room area which wasn't really a problem but similar appartments often have a TV in both. Wi-Fi was not very good despite being advertised as excellent but I had a 5G signal on my phone which worked fine whilst I was working from my room. Facilities downstairs were good with decent food in the Cafe. Staff were pleasant and helpfull. Definately recommend a stay here.
