I love this hotel! The location is great and reception was super helpful, doing all they could to get me into my room early after a long flight. Room was pretty amazing as well. I even changed my booking at another hotel so I can stay here again at the end of my journey. Definitely recommend!

The University part of town, where the apartments are, was beautiful and friendly. I preferred it to the centre of the city and would recommend staying here over the centre of town, which is easily accessible by public transport if needed.
