convenient location short walk communal lounge many stairs cramped room email communication

The location was great. It was a short walk from the city center. I also liked that there were several pubs nearby. The communal lounge allowed me to relax and make myself a coffee or tea.

I had to haul my bags up the stairs. The room felt a little cramped. Communications came by email and WhatsApp, something I don't use often.

early check-in convenient location

the location was very convenient (easy access to transportation!). convenience stores and restaurants were nearby. the staff stored my luggage and allowed an early check-in after things were arranged.

the room doors had a slightly dated pinkish paint. it's a minor detail, but i personally prefer neutral colors.
