“I found it to be a practical choice, especially for university-related visits, with clean, simple rooms and a good breakfast. Its setting within the university's parkland offers a secure and tranquil environment, distinct from typical hotels. The proximity to campus bars, cafes, and sports facilities such as tennis courts and a dance studio adds unexpected value.”
