convenient locationhelpful staffsmall roommissing lock
The location proved convenient for exploring. It allowed quick access to the city center via nearby tram and bus stops. My room included tea and coffee making facilities free of charge. The staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth check in and check out. There was also a working TV in the room.
The room size was somewhat small. It felt congested, particularly in the washroom. Hot water in the shower was excessively hot. The washroom door also lacked a lock, which I found inconvenient.
