Old Town PENTHOUSE P&O Serviced Apartments

Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The moment you step off that elevator into the penthouse level, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve stumbled into something special. I mean, these aren’t your typical cookie-cutter serviced apartments – the Old Town PENTHOUSE actually lives up to its name. The space feels genuinely luxurious without being stuffy about it, and honestly, the views over the old quarter are pretty spectacular, especially if you snag one of the corner units. The P&O folks have clearly put thought into the details here – the kitchens are properly equipped (not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation), and the living areas are spacious enough that you’re not tripping over your luggage every five minutes.

What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to blend that historic old town character with modern comfort. The building itself has some age to it, which means you get those lovely high ceilings and original architectural touches, but everything inside feels fresh and well-maintained. The service is solid too – not hovering over you, but responsive when you actually need something. Parking can be a bit of a dance in this part of town (isn’t it always?), but they’ve got arrangements that take the stress out of it. The neighborhood gets pretty lively on weekend evenings – you’ll hear some street music and chatter drifting up, though it’s never kept me awake. Actually, I kind of enjoyed falling asleep to the gentle hum of the old town settling in for the night.

Here’s the thing about staying in a penthouse serviced apartment versus a regular hotel room – you end up living more like a local than a tourist. There’s something about having that extra space and a proper kitchen that changes how you experience a place. You might find yourself picking up fresh bread from the bakery down the street or grabbing local ingredients for a simple dinner. The four-star rating feels right; it’s polished and comfortable without being precious about it. If you’re planning to stay more than a couple nights, or if you’re traveling with family or friends who need space to spread out, this is honestly one of the better options I’ve found in the old town area. Just don’t expect pool and spa facilities – this is more about location, space, and that elevated living experience than resort-style amenities.
