Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places over the years, and Araliya genuinely surprised me. Walking in, you immediately notice they’ve got this thing figured out – it’s not trying too hard to be fancy, but everything just feels right. The lobby has this warm, lived-in elegance that actually makes you want to hang out there with a coffee instead of rushing straight to your room.

What really got me was the attention to detail without all the fuss. I mean, the housekeeping is absolutely stellar (and I’m picky about this stuff), but they’re not constantly bothering you about turndown service or upselling spa treatments. The staff genuinely seems to know what they’re doing – check-in was smooth, they remembered my name the next morning, and when I asked about getting some late-night food, the front desk guy actually gave me honest recommendations instead of just pointing to the overpriced room service menu. Speaking of food, honestly, I ended up eating at the hotel restaurant more than I planned because it was just really good. Not “hotel restaurant good,” but actually good good.

The rooms hit that sweet spot where everything works properly – strong water pressure, blackout curtains that actually block light, and beds that don’t feel like sleeping on concrete or a marshmallow. I stayed on the third floor and it was perfectly quiet, though I’d guess the street-facing rooms might catch some morning traffic noise. What impressed me most was how clean everything felt without that overwhelming chemical smell some places have. The whole property just feels well-maintained in a way that suggests they care about the details year-round, not just during inspection season. With a 9.8 rating, I was half-expecting some kind of over-the-top luxury experience, but what you get is something better – a place that consistently does everything well without any drama or pretense. I’d absolutely stay here again, and I’m already thinking about bringing my family back next time we’re in the area.

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay 🙂 The suite has everything you need, even for a longer stay. The apartment building is surrounded by nature, and the bus stop is near. We would definitely recommend Araliya to someone who wants to explore the city but also enjoy some peace and quiet.

    Iwona was amazing. Helpful and very kind.
