AMAZING apartment in a renovated old church building. Stylish designs snd furniture and fresh. I wished I lived there. Will for sure come back.
Great location and service in the hotel connected to the Apartment building
The loft is spacious and well-furnished. Everything is very clean. The bed is comfortable and there is enough closet space. The kitchen is well-equipped, with a spacious fridge and dishwasher. You have to read the instructions carefully to find the cooking utensils :), as they are a bit hidden in the cupboard under the dining table. A tip: a microwave would make the kitchen more complete. The bathroom consists of a sink, a separate toilet, and a shower. There are certainly plenty of high-quality towels available. Access to the building is electronic. I experienced a problem with the Tapkey, but the staff was very friendly and helpful and resolved the issue. The train station and the Cathedral, the main sights, and the shopping district are within walking distance.

Disliked: Check-in
It’s a fabulous apartment, just ten minutes from the Hbf and Dom and round the corner from the start of the shopping districts. It’s swanky and stylish and the bed is very comfortable. But a couple of things could be improved on: there’s no light over the bathroom sink (it’s behind you) which means basically shaving in the dark; the kitchen sink tap never once ran hot; and there’s sometimes too much style over substance - instead of plates and bowls, there’s a big, designer globe which stacks these things together, which I was nervous of breaking.
Checking in was a faff. They send you an email via Expedia to do pre-registration and also tell you to download a digital key app, and then you have to email/message them the email you used for the app. They then use that to grant a digital key to check in. Except they didn’t for me as they had mistyped my email. I had to go to the Qvist hotel five minutes away to sort it out. It shouldn’t have to be so complicated.

Das Zimmer Vintage toll und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend
Leider keine Parkmöglichkeiten vorhanden. Man muss in einem kostenpflichtigen Parkhaus parken. Diese Information haben wir leider erst auf dem Hinweg bekommen. Es wurde vorab nicht erwähnt, wo man den Schlüssel zur Wohnung erhält. Auch die begrenzten Check-In-Möglichkeiten wurden erst später kommuniziert. Zum Glück kam man uns mit erheblicher Freundlichkeit entgegen und der Check In wurde ausnahmsweise später durchgeführt. Die Wohnung ist nicht dort, wo man den Schlüssel erhält. Sie ist exklusiv, sauber, geräumig und sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Man ist jedoch direkt an der Hauptstraße. Zum einen toll, da super zentral. Jedoch sehr laut in der Nacht, da es sich bei dem Gebäude um einen hellhörigen Altbau handelt. Alles in allem hat die Atmosphäre und Einrichtung die Unannehmlichkeiten übertrumpft, auch die kompetente und freundliche Art der Mitarbeiter hat sehr dazu beigetragen, dass wir wieder kommen werden. Das dort zur Verfügung gestellte Duschgel riecht übrigens so gut, dass wir es dort gleich gekauft haben. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt.
