The spacious and modern apartments, complete with well-equipped kitchenettes, are also a hit.

faulty air conditioning indifferent staff
The air conditioning was faulty. It shut off automatically at night. this made getting a good night's sleep difficult. Not ideal. also, some staff seemed indifferent, which i found quite surprising and frankly, not very helpful. the laundry facilities were also a letdown. The machines did not clean properly, and the dryer was out of service. it seems some attention to detail is needed..

Although there is no breakfast service. The in-room kitchen allowed for easy meal preparation. several restaurants and cafes are a short walk away. i tried a local pub and the food was amazing! grocery stores are also nearby for supplies.
