botanical garden friendly staff clean room
I loved that the location was close to the botanical garden. I also found the zoo and the city center quite accessible. The room size was good and it was really clean. The staff was friendly and helpful!
The stairs were very narrow though it was manageable.

Adequate Accommodation near Botanical Garden
friendly staff botanical garden local cafes small room lack of temperature control missed cleaning
The staff was friendly. They provided useful information about local cafes. The location next to the botanical garden was peaceful. Breakfast at a nearby bistro was also good.
The room was quite small. I couldn't control the temperature. It was warm. One day the room was not cleaned, disappointing.
