YOUPARTMENTS - zentrale Micro Apartments, hotel in Kaiserslautern

YOUPARTMENTS - zentrale Micro Apartments is a recently renovated condo hotel in Kaiserslautern where guests can make the most of its terrace and shared lounge.

I really liked having the use of a washing machine to do a little laundry since we had been traveling for two weeks already. The bed was large and comfortable. The whole room was set up nicely but the only thing I would have wanted more of was a place to put some clothes out. They did have several hangers for clothes so that sort of made up for the lack of drawers.

    We appreciated that the apartment came with a lot of very helpful items in the kitchen such as coffee, cooking oil, salt & pepper and other spices. It was very convenient to have those. The sponges and cleaning rags were new and clean and even got exchanged during our 10 day stay. The beds are very soft and comfy. There is a beautiful park right next to the apartment with a lot of playgrounds for kids. Katharina, the owner, is very responsive and friendly. This was a great stay and I highly recommend booking Amalfi apartments!

    We loved the set up of this studio apartment. It was located by many great restaurants and entertainment. It had everything we needed outside of a designated parking spot. I would suggest to anyone wanting to walk, and be near a variety of what the city has to offer….book this location! We definitely would stay again! Just Beautiful!
