a mixed experience
poor soundproofingdated bathroom
I found a few issues . the soundproofing was poor. I could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway frequently. also, the bathroom felt a bit dated, with some signs of wear and tear (the shower head had some limescale buildup). the staff were friendly enough but not particularly proactive in addressing these minor concerns.

a stay with some issues
old decorextra cleaning
i found some things not so great. my room was a bit tired, with some old decor and it felt very basic. the windows didn't open enough, they was screwed shut mostly which i really didn't like as it felt a bit stuffy in the room. also, cleaning was extra, so i had to pay more if i wanted it cleaned, and that felt a bit cheeky considering the price of the room already.
