Decent Stay with Location Benefits

great location kind staff unique design poor cleanliness inconvenient socket bathroom switch

The location was definitely a plus, providing easy access to nearby attractions. Staff members were kind and gave useful directions. The room design had a unique style I found appealing.

Cleanliness was an issue as I saw hair on the floor upon arrival. The bedside table made the nearby socket difficult to reach. The bathroom light switch was inconveniently placed on the hinge side of the door.

excellent location train station nearby restaurant sporadic wifi tiny room steep stair

i found the location excellent, close to the train station. there were plenty of restaurants located just outside the building. a shopping center was right behind it. everything was within walking distance.

the wifi was sporadic. the rooms were tiny. the hotel is difficult to navigate with steep stairs for most rooms.
