Staff were friendly anf helpful The... More

We stayed here in August, and it seemed like a studio apartment. Initially we got a room which was stinking, but this was immediately changed once requested. Nice location, clean facilities, plentiful breakfast ( paid). WiFi is free in the lobby, but no signals in the room

We were three of us (students / teenagers), so we booked a three-person room. If I remember right, that was an extra bed in a comfortably spacious 2-bed room. I booked through their online interface. The reception was friendly. I don't recall which building we were in. The room was spacious enough for three people and had a small kitchenette... More

For those who like to walk, its only an easy 20 mins walk to main city attractions in centre or harbour area. I believe its university accomodation rented out in summer. Everything, rooms to communal kitchen and hallways are unusually clean considering its student digs most of year. You pay extra to use internet terminals. You do not have to... More
