    Ok Place

    Spin was a good place to stay for a few days. It’s close to the airport, restaurants, and the tours. The “free continental breakfast” was more than continental. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downsides were the fact that I got bed bug bites...More

    Good for young people

    This is definitely one for the trendy 18-25 year olds I felt like my friend and I were getting a bit too old for this sort of thing. It's trendy, chill and there were ok-ish laundry facilities downstairs. Man, I'm starting to sound old!
