the location proved very convenient. i found many restaurants and shops nearby. the room had a coffee machine, which i used every morning.
The room was quite small. I had little space to move around. the shower's drainage was slow. Water accumulated quickly. i missed having staff available on-site after hours.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

street noisemissing minibar
I found some aspects disappointing . The room lacked proper soundproofing, and I could hear street noise at night (this made it difficult to sleep well). I also noticed the absence of certain expected amenities in the room. There was no minibar. These issues detracted from the overall experience.
