"What an apartment, possibly the best we have stayed in and we travel at least 8 times per year. The location is in the new Nivy part of town, very clean and the added bonus of bars, restaurants and a huge shopping centre close by. The apartment was super quiet, we didnt hear any noise from any other room. The blinds on the balcony also kept all light out, it was perfect! Super clean, great location, 5 mins from the shopping centre walking and 20 minutes walk from old town. Would stay here...

"The hotel has an eco policy so rooms cleaned every 3 days,you can leave a card on your door if you need fresh towels,coffee,tea etc. It's a lovely modern hotel, my only gripe is we we were late to check in due to flight delays, and the kitchen closes at 10.30pm. no room service nothing, so we were stuck. The gentleman behind the desk helped us with an app for food to be delivered, but we struggled. We would stay here again,and definitely recommend it.
