Apia Hotel

Nuorekas, avulias henkilökunta. Tilavat huoneet, hyvät sängyt.

Aamiaispöytään leivänpaahdin ja appelsiinimarmelaadia ;-)

Rooms are individually decorated, newly renovated, good standard of conversion to a hotel. Very conveniently located, amenities are within a few short minutes of walking. Located on a side entrance of the Jewish ghetto, allowing for access to pastry shops, boutique shops and sights. Good local restaurants and bars/pubs nearby. Wi-Fi connectivity is good and included. This is standard and should be for all hotels.

NOISY - local restaurants located under hotel (Meat Lovers and Cozy) use the entrance as a place to smoke - so if you are unfortunate enough to be there when windows need to be open for circulation - it is not comfortable at all. There is also a lot of people driving by trying to "impress" those at the bars - as a result - motorcycles, cars with loud exhausts. Perhaps the courtyard side is better - I cannot assess. The hotel could have a bit more flexibility with regards to extending a room stay. We had to pay to keep our room for an extra hour before catching our flight (extended from 12:00 to 13:00). You'd think that being able to do this without worrying about your tablet/PC, etc. would be easier than having a student explain - "No can do - we have rules!" Breakfast was at another location - 4 minute walk in a "5 Star Hotel" - well only 5 Stars if they don't keep running out of food. Their coffee was weak (similar to the US coffee that resembles tea) and if you want an espresso - get out Euro 2,50 for one.
