The property itself was clean and tidy, staff were friendly. Room was serviced which was really nice to have clean towels and coffee tea etc topped up. Some of the other guests were loud but that can't be helped I guess.

Very fast and easy check in. Lady on reception was Incredibly lovely. The room was spacious and very clean. Beds were slightly uncomfortable, from just what we are used to but we were only staying one night so was perfectly fine. Would highly recommend for the price especially as we had the luxury 2 bedroom apartment.
