We had a lovely stay at Hotel Z for the weekend. Though our room was quite small and our window faced the window of another room just a few yards away, the central location of the hotel made up for it, since we mainly used it as our base to sleep and spent our days exploring the city.
Pros:
Our bed was cloud-like and very comfortable! The bathroom was sleek and clean. Cleanliness is a huge factor for me, so I was glad to feel entirely comfortable in the room. The staff at the front desk are amiable and helpful!
Cons:
They do charge a facility fee, which is disclosed before booking, but I had thought that meant they had a gym and/or pool, or other type of similar facility. Unfortunately they don’t, but the fee includes: use of bicycles to take around the city, $10/day of credit to use at the fridge at the front desk, & water, tea, and coffee in your room. Personally, I would have preferred not having the daily facility fee, since we could have done without the extra snacks and didn’t use the bicycles. We kind of felt obligated to get snacks just for the sake of it, since the credit does not roll over. It would make more sense to have these as optional rentals or purchases. There was also no in-room fridge which would have come in handy for our own beverages. For this very reason, I wouldn’t stay here again if my mom were visiting with me, because she has prescription medication that needs to be refrigerated.
However, despite that, I still gave our stay a full 5 stars because the price per night was affordable, the location was prime, the staff was helpful, and that bed felt like a slumber on a cloud.
