We had a wonderful experience at Safestay, thanks to its fantastic location. being close to the train and bus stations made our travels a breeze. the staff were friendly, and the vibe of the place was lively and welcoming. our room was tidy, and the clean bedding added a nice touch to our stay.

Loud rave nearby ruined our night. 😩.
