a mixed stay at best

small room constant noise

The room was small. I reminded me of i was in a closet. the lack of space made it difficult to relax. also, the noise from the nearby street was constant and quite disruptive. sleeping was a challenge due to the noise and cramped conditions.

charmed by my stay

helpful staff easy luggage train station useful ramp

The front desk staff were very helpful. leaving my luggage prior to check-in was easy. the hotel is super close to the train station (it's less than a minute away!), which i used a lot. i found a ramp too. It helped a lot with my luggage.

the air conditioning barely worked. the room was quite hot all night (even with the ac on full blast!). it made sleeping a bit tough.

Facilities

the hotel provides complimentary apples . there is also good wifi available throughout the premises. a short walk takes you to the underground station, and a bus stop sits right across the street from the entrance.

Rooms

my room was exactly as advertised. it felt quite cozy, which i enjoyed. i liked the shower, and the bed was really comfy (i slept like a log!).
