The staff was very cute and always checked on my well-being. The bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed good sleep. I also liked the selfie wall. It looked nice.

the staff were very friendly and cute. my room, a quadruple room, was huge. the bed was so comfortable (i slept like a log!).
the bathroom door didn't fully close. the bathroom light was on a sensor that constantly came on and off, despite no one being in there. the room was clearly old, which i expected given the price.

attentive staffexcellent servicesuper clean roomconvenient coffee
the staff were particularly attentive. adam, the manager, provided excellent service and cared. my room was super clean with fresh linens. i found the complimentary tea and coffee quite convenient after a long day, a small detail that added to the overall positive experience.
I noticed slight wear on the corridor carpets. It's a minor detail though.

temperature fluctuationinsufficient storage
I found several issues . The shower's temperature fluctuated from freezing to scalding. It was very difficult to regulate. There was no closet or coat rack available, so I had nowhere to put my clothes. the curtains let in too much light, so the room wasn't dark enough at night.
