quiet and spacious!

spacious studiofriendly staffnoise problem
my studio was really spacious and had all the equipment i needed for cooking. i appreciated the convenience of a dishwasher in the room. the staff was super friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. cleaning was done regularly, and i always had fresh, clean towels.
i noticed some noise from the hallway at night, mostly from kids running around. one evening, a group of young people arrived very late and played music loudly. i think the hotel should manage noise better to ensure a peaceful stay for all guests.
Location

the hotel is located just on the edge of town it is a short ten-minute walk to the town center. there is a large car park available at the front of the building. this made it easy to explore the surrounding areas by car.

I found the apartment very clean. The balcony was a great size. Staff were superb and accommodating.
The hallway had tiles so I heard a lot of noise from the reception in the evening. I also heard kids running through the hallway at night. I think they should avoid groups making noise late at night.
