  A warm, welcoming stay with excellent staff, beautiful shared spaces, & an unbeatable location

  Liked: Very nice to be greeted by Staff on site (available 24 hours), to receive the keys and have a quick run-through about the facilities. The collective shared space is absolutely stunning and very inviting, with everything from billiards and ping-pong to lounge chairs and study tables. Location is perfect!

  Great location - but just a student room

  Liked: The location is excellent, near Old Town attractions and the university. Staff were friendly and polite. The accommodation was clean and secure (24-hour reception, locked doors to all areas). The furniture was appropriate to a student residence. The bed was comfortable and everything worked in the shower room.

  Disliked: The room was hot and stuffy on a warm summer day, and the windows cannot be fully opened. A bigger problem is that the accommodation is advertised as an 'apartment' with a 'self-contained kitchen'. In fact it's one of five en-suite bedrooms that share a kitchen. Taken together those rooms could be said to constitute an apartment. However, at least one of the other bedrooms was occupied. For the price I paid, a single en-suite bedroom is just fine (though the £40 cleaning fee included in the price seems excessive). But the fact is that the nature of the accommodation is misrepresented on the booking.com website.
