"Great spot , easy walk to town, plenty to choose from food wise. A little construction going on atm , so first morning was noisy. Manager kindly moved us to a courtyard room, very cosy. Would return no problem "

We had the basement room which while big needed a bit of ventilation. The windows in the morning had a heap of condensation on them and there was a bit of a musty smell. "

"Comfortable apartments and perfect for families with children. Easy walk right into city centre. We stayed in the second floor apartments and whilst they were nice, our friends downstairs had a lot more updated technology and appliances! Loved the weighted blankets on the beds. Staff were nice and accommodating. Would happily stay again!"

"We arrived at 1945, check in was advertised as 2000 close, no one around, knocked on a couple of doors and looked around then a guy appeared and said your key is in your room, as if we should know what he meant…we had no email so didn’t know our room number. Apart from that pretty good place, very close to everything in the centre, all clean and tidy if a little dated…."
