I really loved the well-equipped kitchen. It was ready for use. the location is so convenient, close to transport! my room had its own outside space, a real bonus.

good size easy check-in poor shower pressure difficult parking
The room was a good size. It was cleaned well. The kitchen was fully equipped with essential household items. Check in was easy.
Parking is difficult. A car park is available nearby. The shower pressure was poor. Only a trickle of hot water came from the sink tap.
