    Nice place to have a good time. The staffs are nice, especially Martin is incredibly helpful, friendly and kind to everyone. The location isn't smack dab in the city center, which it was ok, as I found the shuttle bus service every 30 minutes...

    Everything! There are games and activities every night which is such a good way to meet people. There is a free shuttle into the centre, free rental bikes, washing facilities and literally everything you need for a short or long term stay. I love...
