The breakfast offered a good variety, including fresh bread (i especially liked the coffee!). my room was surprisingly spacious and kept very neat. the shower had strong water pressure, though it took a bit to heat up. the room was warm and cozy.
the building work next door created some noise (hammering, shouting).

Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

convenient locationpoor natural light
The location was convenient (near the bus stop).
My room was dark, and the natural light was poor. For the price, I expected better than a back-corridor room. It felt overpriced for what I got.

adequate stay, some issues

oily substanceleaking sink
I found some aspects disappointing. The bathroom sink had a leak. Staff provided extra towels but did not fix it. The floor had a slick, oily substance on it, even after I wiped it. This created a safety hazard. It was a very UNPLEASANT experience.
