the staff seemed cute, and the location worked since i arrived by bus, with a convenient stop right outside.
The room felt quite warm, even with the window open all night. The electric fan didn't seem to help. the plumbing also failed on my final morning. the toilet in reception was also not a pleasant experience. I made it worse

street noiselimited counter
The noise insulation was quite poor. I could hear a lot of street noise throughout the night. this. also, the bathroom lacked counter space. It was hard to manage my toiletries. there was also no full-length mirror in the room, a small detail that would have been very useful. i did not find my overall stay very relaxing
