I had a mixed experience at The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel. The location is stellar, super close to the waterfront and major attractions. However, I faced some real issues with the room allocation and cleanliness, which left me feeling disappointed, especially after having high expectations based on previous stays.

Rooms

6.0

The room I ended up in was different from what I expected and not as advertised. Initially, there was a mix-up with the bed configurations, and I even got sent to a loft apartment that had two double beds instead of the requested setup. Eventually, I returned to the original room, which had two toilets but only one bathroom. On top of that, the cleanliness was off with dirty windows and scattered toys from previous guests.

Service

6.0

The reception staff were friendly but seemed inexperienced, which added to my frustration during the room swap process. It felt like they weren't addressing my issues as well as they could have.

Location

I enjoyed the dining options, especially the buffet breakfast and a lovely dinner I had in the hotel restaurant. The staff were wonderful, and I appreciated the variety of fresh and local options, though I had an issue getting breakfast served right up to closing time.

Facilities

The hotel offers decent facilities like a washing machine in the apartment, which was convenient. However, some things felt dated and needed attention, like the uncomfortable sofa and poor-quality kitchen utensils.
