No on-site restaurant

Great Value Find
convenient locationprivate bathroom
The location was SO convenient, close to transportation and shops. The staff helped setup the tv quickly! I appreciated the warm, spacious private bathroom.
The room was clean. Shower towels were available. The location proved convenient. The bus station and metro are close. I felt the residence offered good value for the price I paid.
Check-in after 4:30 pm felt inconvenient to me. I received a message with the entry code. The reception desk looked behind a locked metal grid and seemed often closed.

loud noisesbathroom mold
The noise levels here are unacceptable. I could hear everything happening outside due to windows that didn't close properly. Street noises kept me awake all night. The room also lacked basic amenities. There was no kettle and no cups for making a simple drink. The bathroom showed signs of neglect, including visible mold.
