This place was perfect for me as a solo traveller, it was close to everything I needed to get to! The building isn't new so of course there are some stains on the floors however it was properly cleaned and the staff were very lovely!
The standard room that I had was small which honestly I prefer and because I was at the back of the building it was quiet.

Pleasant stay in a nice area close to the university. Kitchenette was handy and room was quiet, though not fancy. Good value for money and would stay again.

The one bedroom unit was clean, spacious and functional, with two A/C units ensuring a comfortable climate. The kitchen area was functional and adequately furnished. Overall furnishings were acceptable and the bathroom was obviously newly renovated and very nice. Prior comments intimated no street noise; we beg to differ, listening to probably young males (making up for other shortcomings?) racing their cars down the street. Overall the stay was acceptable, the staff were very friendly and the location was very convenient. Would we stay here again? The possibility of street noise would likely prompt us to at least consider other options.

In heart of Lygon st so great location. Front room which is a bit noisy but balcony option to Lygon st makes it a good trade-off. Stayed twice now and would again.
