VR Apartments Overview
Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first heard about VR Apartments, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes those unassuming spots really surprise you, and this one definitely falls into that category with its solid 8.9 rating that actually feels earned.
What struck me right away was how these apartments manage to feel like, well, actual apartments rather than those sterile hotel boxes you usually get. The spaces have this lived-in quality that’s comfortable without being worn down – I mean, you can tell they put thought into the layout instead of just cramming in furniture. The kitchenettes are properly functional too, not just for show, which honestly saved me a fortune on eating out every meal. There’s something refreshing about being able to make your morning coffee without having to get dressed and hunt down a café, especially when you’re dealing with jet lag or just want to ease into the day. The Wi-Fi actually works throughout the space (shocking, I know), and the water pressure in the shower is surprisingly decent – these little things matter more than people realize when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two.
Here’s the thing that really won me over though – the staff actually seem to care about what they’re doing. Check-in was smooth, no weird hidden fees popping up, and when I had a minor issue with the air conditioning, someone was up to fix it within an hour. Not exactly luxury service, but competent and friendly, which beats dealing with attitude at fancier places any day. The building itself is quiet enough that you’re not dealing with paper-thin walls and neighbors stomping around at all hours, but you still get that sense of life happening around you. Parking was straightforward too – none of that circling-the-block-for-twenty-minutes nonsense that makes you question your life choices. I’d say this place hits that sweet spot where you’re getting genuine value without paying for amenities you probably won’t use anyway. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels more like a temporary home base than a hotel room, and you don’t need someone fluffing your pillows twice a day, VR Apartments is worth considering.

Daniela from United Kingdom (7/10)
On arrival the room was very cold with the windows open and the heating not working. When we had contacted the office a portable heater was brought in and switched on.

Good location for transport. Clean. Bed was comfortable. Able to do own cooking. Liked property access being keyless. Enjoyed the tv channels. Staff very helpful eg. Found me a hairdryer when the one in my room went missing. Restaurant next door is great. Book library good. Will definitely book again.
