"Well located, close to everything, hotel was as expected like the pics, staff was wonderful great customer service, place is on point"

Cosmo Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location, nice apartments, handy little laundry facilities. Would be nice if a few minor cleanliness issues were addressed like clean shower curtains, clean bathroom mirrors and surfaces. Downside is that walls are thin so well aware of what neighbours are up to. Overall, a good stay in a quiet location, close to restaurants. Would certainly consider staying again if price was attractive or specials are offered."
