10/10 Excellent
"Great price, very friendly and helpful staff, excellent location, clean room. We were pleasantly surprised by how high the water pressure was in the shower. There were two very minor problems: the shower room had no extractor fan, so it steamed up like crazy, and the electrical sockets were few and inconveniently placed. Other than that everything was great!"
