The room lacked a fridge, disappointing. There was no convenient place to plug in the kettle. The bathroom needed work. The toilet felt oddly high and the sink was resting on shelf brackets.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I got an unexpected upgrade to a room with a balcony (thanks, Bella!). The room had everything I needed, it was very clean and the bed was very comfortable.
My room was very noisy due to a bar across the street. The loud music continued until late, with people shouting. Earplugs were provided, which indicates this is a known issue.
