The location was quite central. I suppose that was acceptable.
The stairs were a problem. Hauling suitcases up those stairs was not my idea of fun.

The rooms location is central. A big room. I also felt I had privacy. The staff members were helpful.
I was a bit annoyed by the corridor lighting. The stairs to my floor were not well lit. The black paint on them added to this issue.
