Reception and staff were all amazing and really appreciate Luz for being so helpful and checking us in early! Couldn't ask for a more central location, clean and wonderful space. We did hear our neighbours during one night and recommend bringing slippers if your feet are sensitive to cool floors (natural stone floors, which would be wonderful during hot months). Checkout was super easy. Would definitely stay at one of their Aparthotels again!

The hotel and the staff are excellent, my only complaint was with the air conditioning which was not working and the room would get very hot and made it difficult to sleep. The staff tried to do everything possible to accommodate us but the problem could be solved, besides this issue I fully recommend this hotel. The hotel is great, it does make you feel you are in a castle, the staff is magnificent, they really go out of their way to serve you in every way possible.
