was great for a quick trip

convenient location pin based locks available washer easy access

I found the location very convenient. the room had pin-based locks, a definite plus for security. i also appreciated the washer and dryer. I found those available for use, although i didn't need them. plus, it was just a short walk to the bus stop for easy access to the city center.

I noticed a slight issue with the tap in the sink. It seemed a bit loose.

mixed feelings about this stay

ant problem lack of communication

the house was very clean, and i found the pin-based locks on the front door and room doors provided good security.

ants crawling everywhere ruined my stay and i tried to call to confirm everything but got no response. the host shouted at me over the phone, blaming us for bringing in the ants and denied any problem. someone eventually showed up, still denying there were many ants, even while they crawled all over the floor.

free coffee complimentary tea shower gel accessible road app usage online connection physical interaction

The provided shower gel and toothpaste were useful. Free coffee and tea were available at all times. The hotel was in a quiet location and had an accessible road (easy to find). The bus stop was also close by.

The tv only worked through apps. An online connection was necessary for use. I found this a faff. I missed having a face-to-face greeting upon arrival (a smile and a welcome).

basic stay with some issues

tv faff impersonal contact

The tv was only usable through apps, it needed an online connection. this made it a real faff to operate. also, there was no personal contact with the owners. I just received a message about accessing the room. i prefer a proper welcome. It felt impersonal.
