Breakfast
Rooms
The apartments come with useful amenities such as functional heating, hot water and kitchens that are often well-equipped. Some units boast balconies with pleasant views, adding to the appeal. The central location is a major advantage with guests enjoying proximity to the city center and nearby attractions. Additionally, the availability of nearby parking and a welcoming small parking garage are convenient for those traveling by car.
However, room sizes can be a downside with several mentions of tiny and inadequately soundproofed spaces. Some rooms and furnishings are described as outdated or in need of maintenance with specific complaints about broken fixtures such as window handles, bed frames and shower fixtures. Bathrooms, while sometimes spacious, can be too small and lack bidets.
Despite these issues, many guests find the accommodations satisfactory for a short stay, particularly noting the ease of check-in and friendly service. The presence of modern furnishings and well-equipped kitchens in some apartments enhances the comfort for longer stays. Overall, City Apartments Portico provides a budget-friendly and centrally located option with clean and functional facilities, albeit with some variability in room conditions and sizes.
Beds
On the positive side, multiple reviews appreciate the beds being comfortable overall with a few guests highlighting the comfort of both the beds and pillows. The available furnishings, although somewhat sparse, do include bedding that is generally considered reliable.
However, not all reviews paint a rosy picture. Many guests have criticized the condition of the supplementary beds, namely the rollaway and sofa beds, which are often described as uncomfortable and unstable. Instances of worn-out bed frames, sagging mattresses and thin, old mattresses were also noted. Issues with cleanliness, such as old but clean sheets and dirty bed linen, detracted from the stay for several occupants.
In summary, while the main double beds at City Apartments Portico seem to promise a restful night’s sleep, the additional bedding options and some aspects of maintenance and cleanliness leave a lot to be desired. Those planning a stay should perhaps prepare for a mix of comfort levels depending on the exact sleeping arrangement.
Cleanliness
The apartments are described as bright, welcoming and equipped with essential amenities. Many appreciate the well-organized and functional layout with all necessary household items readily available. Despite some instances of minimalistic furniture and occasional reports of dated decor, the overall feedback highlights the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations.
However, a minority of reviews mention issues such as old furniture, malfunctioning showers and occasional cleanliness concerns with specific items like towels and curtains. These isolated remarks are exceptions rather than the rule, as the majority of guests seem satisfied with the cleanliness and upkeep of the apartments.
In summary, City Apartments Portico offers a clean and comfortable stay, especially praised for its spotless environment and thoughtful provision of amenities. Despite minor areas for improvement, most visitors find the apartments to be an excellent choice for a central and tidy lodging experience.
Staff
Communication seems to flow well with the staff providing detailed information and accommodating late check-ins. The landlady, in particular, earns commendation for her friendly disposition during key handovers. Despite a few isolated complaints about unfriendliness from some members of the team, the overall tone from guests remains one of satisfaction due to the generally sympathetic and charming hosts.
Holidaymakers appreciate the management's readiness to answer questions and the seamless experience offered during their stay. Functional aspects of the apartments, such as heating and evacuation, are reliably mentioned, reinforcing the sense of a well-managed establishment. Ultimately, the warmth and professionalism of City Apartments Portico's staff leave a lasting positive impression on its guests.
Wi-Fi
Parking
An affiliated parking garage offers discounted rates, although the discount is only available during store hours and not applicable on Sundays, which can significantly increase the cost. For those requiring bicycle storage, a free and secure facility is available. Motorcycle parking, however, has been noted as complicated.
In summary, while parking near City Apartments Portico is generally accessible and convenient, guests should be prepared for high fees and plan accordingly to take advantage of any available discounts.
Nightlife
However, prospective guests should be prepared for a noisy environment. The noise largely stems from the bustling beer garden and popular restaurant below, which stays active until late at night. Additional disturbances come from neighboring guests and street noise, including barking dogs and early morning activity.
For those who value cleanliness and a central location, City Apartments Portico provides a decent option. Nonetheless, light sleepers or those seeking a quieter stay may want to explore alternatives due to the consistent noise levels reported.
