convenient location short walk bluetooth speakers ceiling speakers waterfall shower amazing shower small room small bathroom worn hallways
The location was really convenient, a short walk from the main train station. My room had Bluetooth speakers installed in the ceiling, very cool! I especially liked listening to music in the shower. A waterfall shower was there, and I enjoyed it.
My room felt smaller than I expected. Only one person could comfortably be in the bathroom at a time. The hallways could use some updating, since they looked a bit worn. I also noticed the cleaning supplies left outside my room each day.

Excellent Location and Comfortable Stay

convenient location major attraction comfortable bed necessary toiletry
I stayed in the Beautiful Triple Room. The location was very convenient as it was a short walk from the central station. All major attractions were easily accessible from the hotel. The room was clean and had a good layout. I found the beds comfortable, and the bathroom provided all the necessary toiletries.
The stairs and corridors were narrow. The staff leaves early, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals.
