Acceptable, But Some Issues

small bathroom damp smell

The staff were very friendly and eager to help. That much is true.

The room reeked of dampness, and I could see moisture on the walls. The bathroom was small. I had to sit sideways on the toilet. The sound insulation was terrible. Every noise in the hallway was audible.

Wonderful Central Stay Experience

central location helpful advice

The location made it easy to explore local attractions. The common room offered a microwave and fridge for guest use. I liked the helpful advice from Irene at reception and her assistance with taxi orders. Essential toiletries and towels were provided, a really nice touch.

The room doors were quite thin and I heard noise from other guests frequently. This made it hard to sleep sometimes. The bathroom also felt a bit small and uncomfortable.

the location was great. it was really central. the room came with essential toiletries (shampoo, soap) and towels. there was also a hairdryer, a fridge, a microwave, dishes, and cutlery available if needed.

The bathroom was small (i could barely turn around!). i could not sit straight on the toilet. the sound insulation was bad. I could hear everything happening in the hallway. the light from the hallway also shone into the room.
