A FANTASTIC Stay!
central location decorated room modern ensuite helpful staff
The location is central. It is very GOOD! The room was well-decorated, ensuring a very cute environment. The ensuite bathroom was modern and clean. The staff members were helpful . I appreciated their assistance.
The noise from outside was a little disruptive. Parties and shouting could be heard until late at night. This made it difficult to fall asleep quickly. The music did not stop until the early morning.

ideal location easy check simple checkout dated room broken taps drainage issue
i found the location ideal for my needs. checking in was easy, and checking out was just as simple. access felt straightforward even after the bar had closed for the night.
the room seemed dated to me, and the drawers were not in good repair. i found the bathroom taps broken. the bath did not drain quickly, suggesting a blockage.
