Detailed Reviews
I don't know how this place gets away with advertising as apartments. This is a glorified hostel. Out room had 8 beds, and a toilet. Nowhere to sit, no storage, no kitchen area or facilities. The room was filthy-particularly the toilet. The most disgusting place I have ever stayed. We had no hot water and even if we had I wouldn't have used the shower as it was so dirty. The room was freezing, the heating was controlled centrally and came on for maybe an hour a day. The manager was rude and unhelpful when we raised our concerns and I wouldn't stay here again even if it was free.

Stayed in the apartment on first floor at the front of the building as a group of 10.
Positives - Bedrooms very comfortable and bathrooms very spacious. Tiny kitchen set up but perfect for us as we didn’t eat in.
Location is excellent. Very short walk to town, very quiet area with ample parking nearby only costing 2 euro a day. Having a code for the apartment also very handy as it meant no minding keys.
Negatives - Very loud group above us on the last night who kept going until
6 AM which meant some of us couldn’t sleep. Arif mentioned at checkout that the neighbours complained and that he would be warning them but no reason he couldn’t have acted on the complaint immediately on the night.

Got to this place on Friday looking forward to a great weekend but was shocked when I seen the so called apartment there was 8 beds and a shower nothing else couldn't even make a cup of tea. The room was dirty cold and no hot water I was disgusted with the lot .I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The manager was no help at all
