stc 1 Overview
You know what struck me first about stc 1? The name doesn’t give much away – I mean, it sounds more like a tech company than a hotel – but honestly, that’s part of its understated charm. This 4-star property has this refreshingly unpretentious vibe that I wasn’t expecting, and with a 9.1 rating, there’s clearly something special happening here that goes beyond flashy branding.
The moment you walk into the lobby, you get why this place scores so well with guests. There’s this perfect balance between professional service and genuine warmth – the staff actually remember your name after the first day, which sounds small but makes such a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. The rooms hit that sweet spot of being properly comfortable without trying too hard to impress. I’m talking quality linens that actually feel good, not just look expensive, and bathrooms with water pressure that doesn’t leave you standing there wondering if something’s broken. The design feels contemporary but not cold – they’ve managed to avoid that sterile business hotel aesthetic that makes you feel like you’re sleeping in an office building.
What really won me over, though, was how well they handle the details that other places often mess up. Check-in was smooth even during what seemed like a busy period, the Wi-Fi actually works throughout the building (I tested it – occupational hazard of being chronically online), and the housekeeping team has this knack for tidying up without making you feel like strangers have been rummaging through your stuff. The common areas stay comfortable throughout the day too, which tells you something about how they manage capacity and maintenance. I noticed they keep the temperature just right – not too aggressive with the AC like some places that leave you freezing, and the noise levels stay reasonable even when there’s clearly a full house. It’s those kinds of operational details that separate a truly solid hotel from one that just looks good in photos. For a 4-star property, stc 1 delivers exactly what you’d hope for without any unpleasant surprises, and sometimes that reliability is worth more than all the bells and whistles in the world.

Reviews of stc 1
Pavel from Czech Republic (8/10)
Very well equipped apartment with lots of space. The small private backyard in front of the living area was perfect. The kitchen had lots of gadgets for cooking (rice cooker, toaster, fresh water barrel). Lots of dishes for multiple persons. Very quiet at night.
Gartcw from Curaçao (9/10)
A very nice place. Close by the metro on two sides. A good bed, well equiped kitchen and all in all very happy with the stay. Also the small outside is pleasant in the evening, chilling a bit.
