10/10 Exceptional

Outstanding staff and wonderful property. Cannot say enough good things about the staff. The property is ideally located near the universities and the train station. My room was very quiet. The only issue (which was quickly addressed) was that the room had neither a coffee maker nor a mini-fridge. Both were provided. I cannot say enough good things about the friendliness and responsiveness of every staff member.
