Acceptable Hotel Experience

great location good room size dirty floor tight space

The location is great. I could easily walk to cafes, restaurants and shops. The room had a good size. the bathroom had a good hairdryer.

The room was not very confortable. The space felt tighter than what I saw online. I noticed the floor felt dirty, with hair. There were also marks from shoes and luggage on the bottom part of the walls.
