    The location was perfect for exploring the festive markets, and the spacious room was cozy and beautifully decorated. Apex was great with their attentive service and thoughtful touches throughout our visit.

    The location was pretty good. Easy to walk to places I wanted to see

    The air conditioning in the room was broken upon my arrival. I informed the front desk and I was told that the issue would be corrected by the next day. It wasn't. My entire stay was without air conditioning, making the room very uncomfortable.

    spacious room
    comfy bed
    luxurious towels
    no breakfast

    The Superior Twin room was super spacious and really comfy. The bed and pillows felt plush. I loved the luxurious towels and high-quality toiletries in the bathroom. Plus, the quiet vibe in the back of the hotel was a nice touch. It even had a mini fridge! No major complaints except I wish I had booked breakfast, it sounded awesome.

    great location
    clean room
    friendly staff

    The location was perfect, just a short walk to the playhouse theatre and the christmas market. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a large shower and amazing water pressure. The pool area was really nice too.

    amazing breakfast

    ambient, ambient, ambient

    The atmosphere of the hotel felt warm and inviting. I was particularly enchanted by the gorgeous indoor pool that beckoned me after a long day of exploring. Plus, the breakfast spread was a good adventure, offering everything from a scrumptious salmon omelette to fresh pastries, made me want to linger at my table longer.

    There was a total of three rooms which my family and I occupied and all of my family members enjoyed and appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms. The toiletries provided in the bathrooms were just great. The breakfast spread was good. All I and my family members have to say is that your hotel is just a very nice place to stay.

    No comment nor anything which we dislike.
