The air conditioning in my room did not work. The shower was very old and in poor condition. I had to use the hand shower. There was no hair conditioner so I needed to buy my own.

i found the location really convenient to access transport links. the breakfast included a decent range and was good quality. the shower water pressure was good too.
the hotel is undergoing refurbishment and some items were left in our room. since the room was already quite small the presence of a large wooden panel. additionally the noise from drilling in the morning disrupted our sleep.
