The location was great but the sofa bed was very squeaky and the room temperature was extremely cold even with the heaters on, they should provide extra blankets. The apartment itself was confortable because it had room to cook.

Look Elsewhere First
The room was nice overall. Building does not have an elevator which I'm not sure if that is mentioned. Had problems with the heater, upstairs was always warmer than downstairs. Building shakes on occasion, not sure if that is from the construction sites around the city using dynamite underground or from the buses or trucks driving by. Asked how often someone comes in to pickup trash and replace towels upon check-in and was told every 4 days, we were there 6 nights and no one came in to get our trash or replace the towels, very disappointed and mainly for the lower score. Office did assist with us purchasing a hop on hop off tour and provided a map of the city upon check-in but had to ask for it.

The Hotel was nice and comfortable. I had a bad flu and the room had very little heat and upstairs noise from people above did not help at nights. I would have moved if my friends were not staying there.

Absolutely deserves the high rating it has! Superb location within easy walking distance of everything, with great transport links nearby if walking isn’t your thing. The property itself has everything you could need (the iron was missing but I’m sure this would have been provided had I asked). Great communication before and throughout my stay. Clean, cosy and comfortable with air con. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again (though perhaps not on the 3rd floor!) Fantastic!

The property was located in a great location. We were late for check-in; however, everything worked out just fine. The only comments I have to make is that we didn't have the WIFI information in our apartment. It was left in the corridor which we were not informed about. This occurred because they were transitioning to a new wifi provider. My only other comment is that the pillows are terrible and should be replaced. The bed was very comfortable. I would definitely recommended staying here though. I would come back.
