Very clean and efficient. Great place and would stay again. Door looks worked well but it would be nice to be able to access the builiding through other doors than just the main door which requires a number of stairs.

The staff are super friendly and helpful. Though a bit out of town, it is close to the bus terminal for airbus. Taking a bue to city centre is also easy and convenient. Student canteen and bar provide good food at lower price. Good value for money.
