Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great location
Negative: Most residents appear to be living there full time and partying heavily, which leads to a flatmating ambiance bordering on a frat house. Staff offers unofficial perks to the long term residents they befriended like free laundry but not to regular guests which feels quite unprofessional. People listen to music loud and you hear people talking/doors slamming all night long on weekends. Really not somewhere relaxing to mind your own business at. Oh and the mattresses are horribly thin.
Summary: Great location. Frat house ambience.
