I was worried because the residence doesn’t have a reception, but communication was excellent, and the staff are nearby to respond quickly. The staff are very friendly, and the room is extremely clean and tidy. There are many places to visit nearby, so the location is great. It was the best accommodation.

Very friendly staff and very clean room. No escaping the fact that the location is not very nice and views are of industrial sites. No lift, loud AC and room smelled like petrol.
