This is a very nice hotel, however they fail to communicate there was not every day clraning service, it was every 3 days and also did not provide clean towels every day

Park Plaza Apart Hotel
Great location! Most things are reachable on foot, and the staff speaks English. Our duplex apartment in the building next door to the hotel was fine (if you do not expect any cleaning but towels can be changed at the reception.) Unfortunately, the reception refused to take our pre-stamped postcards ...
