    It is a literally student hotel. Great location if you are visiting the university. 10 mins walk from downtown. Shared bathroom but there is a sink in your room. No shampoo etc in the bathroom. WiFi is so bad in the room so you have to the study...

    Convenient location and the laundry facilities were a lifesaver a week into our two week trip! It was clean and quiet and the kitchen was convenient for preparing food. It was nice to have a private bathroom as well for a good price. I would stay...
