"Prisvärt boende! Dessvärre fungerade duscharna dåligt, hittade dock en dusch längre bort i korridoren nära hissen som hade bra tryck i vattnet. Personalen i receptionen hade även väldigt svårt att dra på smilbanden, annars var det ett toppen boende. Bra område!"

Princes Gardens

Princes Gardens

10/10 Excellent
"The room had all the amenities of a regular hotel. It was clean, well- lit & comfortably furnished. Toiletries, coffee & tea, plus bottled water were complimentary. More than adequate storage space for a single traveller. Excellent transport connections within a five minutes walk. I have stayed in a number of university properties and this one still tops the list for facilities, location and value for money."
