9.2/10 Wonderful! (454 reviews)

Spotless and modern room, quiet location, friendly and competent staff, and very good food. Only possible negative was the smoke detector that flashed brightly all night… had to cover my head with a pillow to block it out. Otherwise a very nice stay.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (559 reviews)

Staff were super helpful, mailed back a charger that I left at the accommodation! Staff were super helpful by text when I had questions about check in. Only downside was that room was incredibly small and the bathroom in particular was a struggle to use with the limited space.
