    the location was good very near to city center and other amenities, however these are student apartments , so very basic facilities. the lighting was very poor in all rooms . and the air vent/exhaust in the bathroom was very small to take all steam out while shower is running.

    room lighting very low, very compact rooms and beds.

    10BrentPosted on: 4-14-2025

    Friendly service,great location and clean rooms.

    8MeganPosted on: 4-13-2025

    Very central. Comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. Compact but very adequate kitchenette

    I was woken up on Friday night by drunk young people talking extremely loudly in the corridor for a long time so not good sound proofing

    8AliciaPosted on: 4-5-2025

    Very well priced for a pretty central location - easy to walk around the city from here. Helpful at reception. Everything you need for a stay.

    Noise from other guests/residents a little annoying

    8LauritzPosted on: 4-3-2025

    A nice room in what appeared to be a university dormitory setting. Nicely equipped with modest appliances for home food preparation.Clean with comfortable bed.

    My only dislike was a halogen light outside which shone brightly into the room causing me to have the shades drawn the entire stay. And it flickered all the night as well.

    8NikkiPosted on: 3-3-2025

    Comfortable bed and bedding. Excellent shower pressur

    No lift with heavy bags

    10JoanPosted on: 2-14-2025

    Spacious, convenient location, friendly staff.

    6MichaelPosted on: 2-12-2025

    Within walking distance to town. Clean and comfortable.

    No off street parking.

    9NripenderPosted on: 2-10-2025

    Close to city centre

    Roaming cockroach in the kitchen. Need pest control

    9RebeccaPosted on: 2-10-2025

    Leah, super friendly on arrival.I asked if I could leave my bags earlier than check in time. Leah was so welcoming and had even put my bags in my room by the time arrived back from exploring town!All staff great and I had a very comfortable stay.

    7LiamPosted on: 2-9-2025

    Location and staff were good. When students are back it would be noisy Location was fantastic

    Our room was right on the street with people looking into our apartment, maybe some tints or something on the window

    7JackPosted on: 2-8-2025

    Great price and location

    Ground floor room was right near a walkway so was quite noisy

    6EmiraliPosted on: 2-4-2025

    Breakfast not included. Modefrate walking distance to cafe.

    Very small room for two people. Room not serviced during the 3 night stay.

    8DavidPosted on: 2-4-2025

    Comfy bedrooms, kitchen facilities good. Easy walk into the town centre.

    It was cold with all the windows open when we arrived. Little heaters took quite some tine to heat the rooms. Air conditioning heat pump would be better. Not double glazed and a bit of street noise.

    9MargaretPosted on: 2-3-2025

    good location room very clean an bed was comfy

    4DuncanPosted on: 2-1-2025

    Location was fine. Clean & tidy.

    The motel lacked many facilities expected in a motel. Understand usually a student hostel. Significantly over rated on Booking.com
