convenient locationcleaning servicesfresh towelscreaky floorswindow issuenight noise
the location was really convenient. i needed to use public transport, it was very close to the station. i appreciated the cleaning services offered every other day. fresh towels were provided each time, i thought this was good.
the outside appearance seemed nice at first. however, the interior needs some work. the floors creaked a lot, i could not open the windows as people always walked past. the area got noisy at night.

Acceptable stay, some issues noted

easy check-incheerful receptionistconvenient locationmissing fanmusty odorunpleasant bathroom
Check-in was straightforward. The receptionist was cheerful. The location is good with shops and restaurants nearby. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The bathroom lacked a fan. I noticed a very strong musty odor upon opening the door. This made the bathroom unpleasant to use. I covered the door with a blanket to prevent the odor from spreading.
