Spent 10 nights here with work and absolutely loved it. Staff are great, rooms are squeaky clean and service is top notch. Will definitely return! Thanking you for making my stay so pleasant.

I would have given 4 stars out of 5, had it not been for the disgusting attitude of the woman who says she's the director. How rude and obnoxious can one be!? Horrendous. Avoid.

My family and I stayed at these apartments and had an exceptional stay. Staff get to know you on a first name basis & These are little things that you won't get in bigger hotels. Our apartment was very clean, felt very luxurious and obviously well kept. I would recommend these apartments to anyone who likes the comforts of home but in the center of the city centre. Thank you.
