Hotel Description

You know what, the name “Exclusive Royal Apartments” had me expecting something way more pretentious than what I actually found. Don’t get me wrong – this isn’t some luxury palace situation, but honestly? That’s kind of what I liked about it. It’s a solid 3-star place that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re traveling.

The apartments themselves are actually pretty decent sized, which was a pleasant surprise. I mean, you’re not getting a sprawling penthouse or anything, but there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase in a shoebox. The kitchenette situation is legit too – I was able to make coffee in the morning without having to venture out immediately, and there’s a proper fridge if you want to grab groceries. The furniture feels a bit dated (think early 2000s hotel vibes), but everything works and it’s clean, which honestly matters more than having Instagram-worthy decor. One thing I noticed is that the walls are pretty thin though, so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe pack some earplugs – I could definitely hear my neighbors’ TV one night.

What really won me over was how straightforward everything felt. Check-in was quick, no weird hidden fees popping up, and the staff actually seemed to know what they were talking about when I asked for restaurant recommendations. The 7.2 rating makes sense to me – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it delivers on what it promises without any major disappointments. The location worked well for getting around (though I can’t speak to the exact neighborhood since the address wasn’t clear), and parking was surprisingly hassle-free, which anyone who’s tried to navigate hotel parking knows is basically a small miracle. I’d honestly stay here again if I needed something reliable and unpretentious – sometimes that beats fancy amenities that don’t actually work properly.

    Easy check-in and check-out process.
    Ample sleeping space with extra towels and sheets. Very spacious area overall, with lots of lights and plugs. Everything felt modern and updated, while still being a classic apartment.
