“Joivy operates converted student housing, so anticipate a no-frills stay; however, the location is enviable, near a tram stop for airport access and within a reasonable walk to Old Town. Friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms provide essential comforts, despite the lack of in-room amenities such as a fridge or kettle. It's a practical choice if you value location and staff attentiveness over luxury frills.”
