a satisfactory stay

convenient location close proximity helpful staff small bathroom limited space street noise

the location proved convenient, particularly its close proximity to the train station. this allowed for easy access to transportation. the cleanliness of my spacious room was noteworthy.. i especially appreciated the modern decor. the staff members i encountered were very helpful.

the bathroom felt quite small. using the shower facilities was a bit challenging given the limited space. i also found the lack of air conditioning during the nights to be problematic. i had to open the window, but street noise was noticeable throughout the night.

An adequate stay with some issues

squeezed space street noise

The location was close to the train station, useful with luggage.

The bathroom proved rather difficult to use. The shower space felt SQUEEZED. The air conditioning did not function during the nights, so i had to open the window. This addressed the stuffiness, BUT then street noise became a problem.
