The mature gardens create a spacious, green haven, a welcome contrast to the outside bustle.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
convenient locationloud musicpoor insulation
The location was convenient, with access to nearby shops and restaurants.
The noise was a big problem. Loud music from nearby establishments kept me awake until the early hours (especially frustrating on Friday and Saturday). The sound insulation in my room must have been poor, as the music reminded me of it was in the same building.
