Acceptable Stay Near the University
friendly stafffreshly prepared breakfastconvenient locationsmall roomcramped bathroomholes in carpet
The staff was friendly and engaging . Breakfast included freshly prepared, high-quality items. The location near the university proved very convenient.
My room was quite small, and the bathroom felt cramped. The hallways seemed like they needed some cleaning and painting. I also noticed some holes in the carpet in the common areas.

comfortable roombreakfast servicetiny bathroomcobwebs windows
the room was very comfy and tidy. breakfast service was very friendly and a fabulous breakfast was available. the terrace by the water was nice, too! the location is central.
the bathroom was tiny. turning on a tap made the whole room shake from the noise. there were cobwebs on the windows. the kettle had to be placed on the floor to boil. no place was provided in the shower for shower gel.
