Good location.
The location finds a lot of favour because of the quiet, peaceful neighbourhood and also because it is well-connected by the public transport system to various points of interest in the city and all the main attractions. The aparthotel is a 15 minutes’ bus ride to the city centre.

Neighbourhood too quiet.
Some of the guests felt that the neighbourhood is too quiet and doesn’t offer enough shopping opportunities or eating-out options for guests staying here.
negative:
Look needs updating.
It is felt that the look needs updating and that the complex could do with a refurbishment to restore a shiny new look. It has been mentioned that beds, sofabeds and televisions need replacing. There have been complaints that the aparthotel has a slightly tired, lived-in look.
