I accidentally left my iPad in the room, fortunately, their staff called me to remind me to retrieve it. Their service was truly outstanding, and I am very grateful for their help. The location was also excellent, within walking distance to the city center. I highly recommend their exceptional service and hospitality!

I'd stay here again. I was fortunate to be sharing with three ladies who were all clean, friendly, and considerate. They were from different parts of the world too so it was great to Talk about that too.

I have not had a nice encounter with the sharing "flatmates" since a long time, I think this place was good for that, meeting people and close to the interesting places so you could walk to them

Didn’t like the fact that the shower suddenly stopped working half way through so had to use sink water to rinse myself but other than that everything was fine.

Everything was as you would hope and expect. My only problem was the heat of the rooms through the night, hard to manage possibly.
