Acceptable location, concerning cleanliness

central locationerratic shower temperatureunfulfilled request
The location was CENTRAL, a definite plus for exploring.
The room wasn't as clean as I hoped. The bathroom floor looked to have missed a proper scrub. The shower temperature was erratic. It switched between scalding hot and freezing COLD without warning. Requests for fresh towels went unfulfilled, despite my confirmation at check-in.

Staff was quite friendly and helpful. Location is near city attractions and public transport is close. The room was clean, I liked how often I can choose to have it cleaned. They have lockers for bags after check-out.
The room was rather small and it was hard to place two large suitcases in it.
