Very good location, I appreciated the cleaners coming in everyday. It had everything I needed and check-in check out was very easy. It was also great that they could hold onto my bags for me before/after check-in.

Barbeque great value and great for meeting others. Spacious in common areas. People working there were nice. Had many brochures. Price is a sweet spot in such a city. Beds were comfortable. Met a few people. And it wasn't loud at all. Really enjoyed overall.

Charming common spaces, but the room basics missed the mark.

Staff were accomodating when I asked for extra blanket. Bed was decent enough and room had decent light. The common areas were beautiful for reading or doing work.

I especially liked the lounge. There was also a nice patio. The kitchen was also quite spacious with everything one could need. The free walking tour with Erica was definitely a highlight, I highly recommend you do it if it takes place during your stay. Overall a very nice experience.
