"Apartment is a compact 1 bedroom in a good location close to transit, parks, and shops. It faces the courtyard and doesn't get direct sun for most ofthe day, and the bedroom has no windows. Several lightbulbs were burnt out so at night it was very dim. Check-in was partially explained - I got the key from a lockbox but hauled all my stuff up five flights of stairs before calling the host to learn that I needed to go down a side hallway, which had an elevator that wasn't mentioned in the listing...

Just a heads up for future travelers, elevator only goes up to 3rd floor. You must use stairs for 4th floor. Not a terrible thing but if unable to climb stairs or large luggage perhaps request lower floor."

"It is a nice hotel, inside an university campus, not too far from the old town, with a medium shopping centre very close, where you can get many things. Though, it is a little too far to walk, so you need transport for the old town. The hotel itself is clean, busy, very good included breakfast. The room is fine, no more no less, though the large panoramic window diffuse lot of light in the morning. The parking should be think again though. But it was fine."

"Loved our stay in the Grand Poet hotel. The big rooms were spotless The staff were all very helpful and pleasant, we had a couple of wee problems on the first morning but they were very quickly fixed, and ready for us on our return from a days exploring. The hotel itself faces one of the many parks, and it had the canal running through it. It was also just a stone’s throw from the old town. Breakfast was lovely & restocked often. The bar seemed quiet but again great range of drinks & cocktails to choose from. My only negative- no privacy screens on the windows. Our room overlooked the breakfast courtyard. And directly opposite another bedroom window. So you had to keep the heavy blackout curtains closed with the lights on Or if you opened the curtains for daylight you faced being met with another guest not always dressed !!!!"
