Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Bathroom privacy and storage are limited — Some guests found the bathroom setup not very private and lacking hooks for towels, with one noting a sink leak that made the floor slippery. The compact, well-designed bathrooms may not suit everyone.
- Cleanliness can be inconsistent — While many rooms were described as clean, at least one guest felt more attention to cleaning was needed, particularly in the bathroom area.
- Check-out is early at 10:00 — With a check-out time of 10:00 and check-in not starting until 14:00, there's a moderate window for late risers or those with afternoon flights.
- No pets allowed — The property is smoke-free and does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

7.6Verified guest“Loved the location near the tram for quick trips into the city. The beds were comfortable and the showers hot. Just a note: the bathroom feels a bit open and could use extra hooks. A little more attention to cleanliness would help, but overall, good value.”

7.6Verified guest“We stayed at Vivo Aparthotel recently and found it spacious with all the essentials for our trip. The bathroom was compact but well planned. We liked the comfortable bed and the clean room, and fresh towels were easy to request. Staff were friendly and attentive, parking was under the building, and shops and cafes were a short walk away. A peaceful stay overall.”
