Mona and Noor. The location is advantageous. It is close to the tram for easy access to the city center. I found the shower to be amazing, the bed very comfortable, and daily water bottles were a welcome touch. I particularly appreciated the cozy garden..

I found the breakfast options somewhat limited. Extra charges for eggs seemed unusual to me. The bathroom leaked. I had to use towels to clean. I also noticed that the photographs seemed outdated, suggesting the hotel could benefit from some repairs and maintenance.
