VISIONAPARTMENTS Waffenplatzstrasse - self check-in

The room had an iron, microwave, coffee machine, ironing board, a small table, TV, and basically all the plates and kitchen stuff we needed. Even though we didn’t really cook during our stay, it was great to have all those amenities available. It was clean too. The room was small, but honestly you’re mostly just there to sleep, so it wasn’t a problem at all. We think it’s really good value for the price.

The only thing we didn’t like was that we couldn’t enter the building until 3 PM. Everywhere we’ve stayed before at least allowed us to wait in a lobby or common area until check-in time, because walking around the city with luggage was really difficult. Also, if they had informed us beforehand that we wouldn’t even be able to enter the apartment building before 3 PM, we wouldn’t have walked all the way there just to turn back again. There was also a coffee machine in the room, but not providing any coffee capsules at all was a bit strange. I’ve stayed in around 10 cities across Europe, and this was the first time I’ve seen a coffee machine provided without even basic daily coffee included.

The location is very quiet while it had a very good connection to the city centre.

The bed of apt 34: if you turn yourself when sleeping, its frame makes noise, the bed needs some repair. Also, you could feel the springs of the bed a bit maybe a cover mattress would help. A 2nd chair would be nice as the apt is for 2. The building does not have the elevator.

Very clean. Nice little kitchen, nice bathroom, good water pressure. Very convenient with the bus. Small convenient stores and super market close by.

It's not noise proofed. During the night I could hear the people next door talking, moving. I didn't manage to use the oven. The pillows were very uncomfortable, too empty..

I really liked that the accommodation was in a calm, quiet location, yet still conveniently located. We also liked that we had the option to make coffee, boil water, cook, and dine there. We appreciated the self check-in. Access was quick and easy. We also liked that although we had to pay extra for the parking space, it was actually available, so we always had a spot. (We’ve experienced at other accommodations that even if we paid in advance, no space was available.)

I didn’t like that the shower head was very dirty, broken, and leaking water. It definitely needs to be replaced, as the rubber has been damaged by mold. Additionally, several LED lights started flickering after about 15 minutes and then went out. We waited a bit and turned them back on; they worked for a while, but then started flickering again in the same way. The lighting in the bathroom is very poor, and it’s also yellow. We arrived for my best friend’s wedding, and it would have been great if I could have done my makeup properly, but because of this I had to use my tablet’s camera to apply it. It would have been better to have a light directly above or next to the mirror so it wouldn’t be so dark. The wardrobe had a slightly strange smell, so we didn’t use it. Also, the power outlets were not the standard European type, which we hadn’t expected, but we managed. Additionally, there was only one blanket, and the pillows were very small and flat, which was quite uncomfortable. This should be clearly indicated in the description. If we had known this in advance, we would have brought an extra blanket and larger pillows with us. We would really like to come back because the accommodation is in a great location, but if these issues are not fixed, we will have to choose another place to stay.
