The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Rooms are small but clean. Location slightly outside of the free tram zone, on a street with lots of university students. Free water bottle refill at kitchen on the first floor.

Great location. Right in the heart of the city. If you like to walk it takes 15-20 minutes to get to everything in the city. Staff are very helpful and polite. Access to washing machine and dryer for 5 dollars. Also gym has decent cardio equipment and cable machine plus free weights. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Will definitely recommend.
