Elk Water Tower Tours

The location is great, you step out of the hotel and you are in Castle Square looking at the Royal Castle. The room was clean, good shower with plenty of hot water. I was on the third floor room 33 which had a great view of Castle Square. If you have a room facing the square make sure you bring earplugs because the street noise and bands playing music can be extremely loud. There is no elevator so just stairs to think of if that’s an issue. I was okay with it. There was no safe in my room or air conditioning. I had their breakfast the first morning,it was good but I thought overpriced and only attended once. They claim to have a 24 hour front desk but most of the time nobody is there. The morning that I departed I had to pay for my one breakfast but nobody was at the front desk at about 3:00 and 3:30 am. I did ring the bell. I had to pay for it later which created a bit of a problem.

The property has many amenities for long term residents also making it convent for doing laundry and having pastime activities at night. The area is right off the 8 and 9 streetcar lines making it convent to get to the city center. The only pitfall was the confusing check-in process and mergers of staff being very hard to contact. Otherwise, good value for money.
