small room stained shower

the location was convenient, quite close to the underground station.

My room was smaller than i expected from the photos. the cleanliness was not ideal, as there were crumbs behind the bed and stains on the shower. the tv also didn't work. I couldn't tell if it was the tv or the remote at fault.

dirty carpets small room

The staff was cute. adam showed us two different rooms. I could choose my favorite.

i found that the room was really small, the carpets were so dirty. we were three people in a double bed, with a sofa turned into a small bed. there was no space for luggage and no space to walk, so it did not meet my expectations.
