8.4/10 Very Good! (694 reviews)
The location for us was excellent, walking distance from many fine coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants near the university, and easy access to bus and subway. Our room was exceptionally quiet, facing a quiet neighborhood off the main street. Our room (with a double bed) and the bathroom were very compact, a bit of a challenge with multiple pieces of luggage for each of two guests, but very clean and tidy. Every person on staff that we encountered was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
