adequate stay overall

convenient location kitchen facilities nearby attraction fridge smell complicated door unreliable system

the location was really convenient. it allowed easy access to nearby attractions (i especially appreciated the proximity to the royal mile). the kitchen facilities were adequate. it had everything my family needed for basic meal preparation.

the fridge had a noticeable smell. it was unpleasant each time i opened it. the door system was complicated to use. i found the combination lock and contactless system to be unreliable (i even got locked out once).

Mixed Experience with Room Issues

difficult system unreliable system

The location was great for getting around.

I encountered some issues . The room door system was difficult to use, involving long combination numbers. The contactless system was also unreliable. I got locked out and had to call for assistance. Replacing the battery and resetting the system took a while.

convenient location clear instructions blocked sink cleaning issue

The apartment's location was very convenient, especially for sightseeing. The provided instructions were also clear, so check-in went smoothly (which I always appreciate).

The bathroom sink was a bit blocked, so the drainage was slow. I noticed some fingerprints on the doors, so the cleaning could have been more thorough.
