HOMELY STAY Studio 4 – Chic Self-Check-In Room for Short Stays

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “HOMELY STAY Studio 4” pop up in my search results, I almost scrolled past it thinking it was some generic chain property. But actually staying here? Completely different story. This place gets the whole self-check-in thing right in a way that doesn’t feel cold or impersonal, you know what I mean? The room itself has this understated chic vibe that’s way more sophisticated than the name suggests – think clean lines, decent lighting that doesn’t make you look like a zombie in the mirror, and furnishings that actually make sense for short stays.

What really struck me was how they’ve nailed the details that matter when you’re just passing through. The bed’s legitimately comfortable (not one of those rock-hard hotel specials), and there’s enough surface space to actually unpack a bit without living out of your suitcase. The self-check-in process was surprisingly smooth – I mean, I was half-expecting some glitchy app situation, but it worked exactly as advertised. No awkward lobby hovering or waiting around for someone to materialize behind a desk. You get your code, you get in, you settle in. Simple as that.

Here’s the thing though – this isn’t trying to be a luxury experience, and that’s actually refreshing. It’s more like staying in a really well-designed friend’s apartment, if your friend happened to be really good at interior design and obsessive about cleanliness. The studio layout works well for solo travelers or couples who don’t need tons of space to spread out. I appreciated that they didn’t try to cram unnecessary amenities into every corner – just good basics done well. The location situation is a bit tricky to pin down from their listing, but honestly, for short stays, sometimes you’re more focused on having a solid home base than being right in the thick of everything. The 8.0 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it delivers on its promises without any nasty surprises. If you’re looking for something reliable and unpretentious for a quick trip, this hits that sweet spot between budget-friendly and actually comfortable.

Reviews

• Roelof from Netherlands – 17 September 2024 (9/10)

  Spacious enough, very nice ambiance inside the room.
  
  What could be improved: Some very tiny things were a bit broken: a light switch, the door handle.

• Clay from United States – 5 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very cute place. LOvED the little treats, sparkling water and coffee available. The decor is inviting. The location is great. Getting into the studio was easy too.
  
  What could be improved: It would be nice to have screens on the windows. The shower door isn’t sealed on the bottom lip so water leaks onto the floor when showering.
  The Bath mat gets soaked.

• Gritsana from Thailand – 5 May 2024 (8/10)

  The location is great. U-Bahn and tram are a few steps away. You can find everything you need in the neighbourhood, big groceries, bakery, decent coffee shops. The room was clean, you get exactly what you see on the website. The self-checkin and checkout was easy. Everything was well explained on the website. The apartment was easy to find, locates on the ground floor so you don't have to worry about the luggages. It was a pleasant stay.
  
  What could be improved: Well, the apartment is located on the ground floor, you can hear everything from the street. If you are a light sleeper, it will be a nightmare but for me it was fine. The only small downside about the apartment is, you have to clean the utensils you use in the apartment before you check out, the cups and spoons. Well, the apartment is not cheap, I know I have to keep the room clean but to wash glasses and cups before checkout is something I didn't expect, but it's not a big deal. I love my stay anyway.
