How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The staff were very friendly and helpful at check‑in and check‑out, and I was impressed with the amenities—especially the kitchen, which is superb enough that I’d come again. The shower head had a bit of limescale, so the spray was messy and all over the place, but that was the only issue; it can be sorted out if you stay more than a couple of nights. The bathrooms are a bit dated and nothing fancy, but they’re functional and good quality for the cost.

The staff were lovely, the location convenient, and the price great. I wish there were more kitchen amenities like salt, pepper, a cutting board, and a knife; it didn’t put me off, but it would have wowed me. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but for the price it was absolutely fine.

The staff were super welcoming and always available, the location is convenient and well connected by metro and bus, and the little gym with various equipment (I loved the ping‑pong!) is very nice. The first thing I noticed was the window, which opens only a small part for air circulation, and there is no air conditioning. The pans, cutlery, and plates are just the essentials. There was no soap except the one in the bathroom sink, and the shower wasn’t very clean. Other than that, everything was really great.

I got great value and the spot was spot on, the place was spotless and the kitchen worked wonders. The only gripe was that the shower angle drips onto the floor.

The room was tidy, close to everything, the staff were friendly, and everything you’d need was there. The mattress felt a bit stiff, and the bathroom light sensor shuts off too fast when you’re in the toilet or shower.
