small showerstreet noise
The room felt quite outdated. the small size of the shower was also a problem. It was hard to move around, and the water pressure was inconsistent. i also noticed that the soundproofing was not good. i could hear a lot of noise from the street, difficult to sleep, it was very annoying. it definitely affected the overall experience.

Convenient Stay Near the Metro

metro stationquiet roomshower leak
The hotel is conveniently located near the metro station. A couple of coffee shops nearby offered great coffee in the morning. (I really needed it!). The room I got was also very quiet, which I appreciated after long travel days.
The shower was leaking slightly. It wasn't a major issue, but it's something that could be addressed.
