the location was indeed very convenient. i could easily walk to all the main attractions. the breakfast had a nice variety of items to choose from, too. the staff were also very helpful and cute, so i appreciated that.
The room was smaller than i expected. It felt a bit cramped, honestly. also, the bathroom lacked proper ventilation, feel damp. i found the noise from the street quite disturbing at night too. it was hard to get a good night's sleep!

the staff were helpful with directions in the area.
I found the room's temperature difficult to regulate. It was either too warm or too cold. the window, when opened for fresh air, allowed considerable street noise that disrupted my sleep. also, the bathroom design seemed impractical. The sink was too small, causing water to splash easily.
