small room size no clothes storage

The shower worked well. The staff provided assistance.

The room size was significantly smaller than expected. I found it difficult to maneuver with luggage. There was no space to hang clothes, which proved inconvenient .

clean room easy check-in central location

The room was clean and very functional. I liked ease of checking in. I liked the comfort of the room despite small size. Its central location.

Sound proofing from the window was bad. I could hear every car or bus that passed by, even late at night.

decent stay with a few minor issues

good location friendly staff small shower elevator noise

the location is good for exploring various attractions. it is a short tram ride to sculpture parks. the staff seemed friendly, a detail i noted .

The shower felt very unpractical. It was quite small. everything easily gets wet during use. i had requested a quiet room but was placed near the elevator. noise from other guests and elevator beeps often woke me up.
