adequate stay, some issues

small room stolen towels

the location was convenient for getting around (close to public transport).

the room was small and the bathroom felt claustrophobic. there was barely enough space to move around. the whole experience was a letdown given the cost.

the staff was friendly! the location is great, close to the train station. it was easy to walk to different neighborhoods and cafes. i appreciated that the windows opened up fully.

my room was poorly designed, it felt cramped. there was nowhere to hang anything! the air conditioning couldn't be adjusted. the shower design caused water to flood the bathroom.
