Gandalf’s Sanctuary Apartment

Hotel Description

Look, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place called “Gandalf’s Sanctuary Apartment” – honestly, I was half-expecting some cheesy Lord of the Rings theme park situation. But you know what? This 4-star spot completely surprised me in the best way possible.

The moment you walk in, there’s this immediate sense of calm that washes over you. I mean, they’ve really nailed that “sanctuary” vibe without going overboard with the fantasy theme. The space feels more like staying at a really well-designed friend’s apartment than a typical hotel room. The lighting is perfect – warm and inviting, especially in the evenings when you’re winding down from a day of exploring. And the bed? Actually comfortable, which honestly isn’t always a given even at higher-rated places. I’m someone who usually takes forever to fall asleep in new places, but I slept like a rock here.

What really sets this place apart though is the attention to small details that actually matter. The Wi-Fi is solid (worked great for video calls, which was crucial for me), there’s plenty of outlet space near the bed – you know how annoying it is when you have to choose between charging your phone and having it within reach? None of that here. The kitchen area is surprisingly well-stocked too; I wasn’t planning to cook much, but ended up making coffee every morning because they had this really nice French press setup. The whole place just feels thoughtfully put together by someone who’s actually traveled and knows what guests need. Even the bathroom has good water pressure and stays warm – small things, but they add up to a much better experience. I can see why it’s got that 9.5 rating, honestly. It’s one of those places where everything just works the way it should, and you find yourself wondering why more hotels can’t get these basics right. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels more like a home base than just a place to crash, this is definitely worth considering.
