balanced stay experience

metro station convenient location dining options diverse selection coffee facilities in-room garbage bin room view dark brown oppressive decor air conditioning non-functional

the hotel's proximity to the metro station was convenient. nearby restaurants provided diverse dining options. i appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities available in the room.

my room had a view of garbage bins and another building very close. i found the decor with dark brown walls and flooring quite dark. the air conditioning in my room was not working, and opening the window resulted in street noise.

broken air conditioning street noise

the triple room had good space and was well appointed with everything i needed.

The air conditioning did not work. I found a sign saying it only operates from june to september. i asked if it could be turned on anyway and was told to set it to 5. it still didn't work, so i slept two nights with the window wide open. this meant it was very noisy from the street. It was quite disruptive to my sleep, noisy street.
