I really love APA hotels since they're so compact and affordable. This hotel is what you would expect from this chain's hotels. There were bus stops close by if you needed to go to the castle or centre and a few supermarkets, pharmacies and convenience stores were nearby too. Good restaurants are also around the area! Only nitpick I have is the bad air in the bathroom (possibly from mold), you need to have the ventilation on all times there otherwise the air is really heavy to breathe...

Staff was very friendly and helpful. They have bicycles you can borrow at no extra cost. They were very respectful for all my demands and inquiries.
Location is a bit awkward as the main attractions are in the north-east. However, it's far from the trains which makes it extra quiet at night.

Nice front-desk manager, no problem with midnight check-in! The room is enough big for one person, very clean, convenient and quite location which is good if you tired. Near the place locating many cafe and restaurants.
The pillow was quite thick for me. Also bed was good but also thick. In mini bar absolutely nothing, but there was tea and coffee with electric kettle so no problem to make it. Other thing is fine as for such price.
