small closetchilly room
i booked a comfort double room and it felt smaller than expected. there wasn't much room to move around the bed and closet space was minimal, this was inconvenient. also, the air conditioning only seemed to blow cold air even when i tried to adjust the settings. it made the room uncomfortably chilly at times and i wished it had a warmer setting.

I found the location really convenient. everything felt close (it was especially nice being near the gothic quarter). the staff were very kind. They promptly addressed a minor cleaning issue i encountered. i really liked how secure it was, with the entrance requiring a buzz-in.
The shower door in my room didn't fully seal. I noticed a bit of water on the floor after each shower, but it was a minor inconvenience overall.
