The public area is clean and well organised for group conversations. The kitchen is well kept and equipped, making it a home away from home.

Staff were friendly, helpful and happy. The kitchen was being renovated so I can't really give a perfect score as it was a slight inconvenience. The location is great; I will come back.

I travelled with friends, so we had the room just for ourselves. The room overall was great, especially the beds — they were super comfortable. It was also really convenient to have the bathroom inside the room. The kitchen was under renovation,...
