low pressureroom cramped
The shower had very little pressure. IT was difficult to wash my hair properly. The room felt quite cramped, especially with my luggage. The overall cleanliness was questionable. I noticed dust in corners and on surfaces. The towels provided felt thin and rough. The noise from nearby rooms was distracting. Sleep was not easy to come by.

The room was small and not very clean. Corridor lights did not work properly, and the corridor was in total darkness because of the fire doors. The bed was very uncomfortable and basic. People in the room above made a lot of noise all night.
