For the price this was a great place to stay- bang for buck. Staff were over accomodating and super friendly. I travelled with mum and forgot to ask for the sofa bed too. We asked for sheets to make it upourselves but they insisted that they make it up for us and did. Great spot, close access to everthing but in a quieter part of town. Gave the real holiday vibe.

We had once stayed here and it was good. Now it seems that major renovations are due. Rooms felt outdated and dirty. We had the 3 bedroom apartment and it is certainly lacking in many ways.
