cramped room bad noise

the location was definitely convenient. it was easy to get around the city from there.

my room felt cramped. there was barely any space to move around, and i kept bumping into things. also, the noise was pretty bad. i could hear everything happening in the rooms next to mine. it was annoying to deal with that level of disruption.

average stay overall

clean accommodation comfortable bed easy communication small room electronic check-in luggage storage

the room was super clean! the bed and linen felt very comfortable. communication was easy and i appreciated the coffee and tea access.

the room felt quite small for the price, honestly. the electronic check-in was not my favorite. the lack of luggage storage was inconvenient, i think.

average stay with some drawbacks

narrow gap thin walls

the hotel's location proved acceptable, offering convenient access to the bus station.

the room i booked felt confined. it lacked a proper window, only a narrow gap faced a small backyard. this incomplete information affected my experience, especially regarding fire safety. the thin walls allowed noise from adjacent rooms so i could hear conversations clearly.

central location free coffee small desk poor soundproofing impersonal check-in parking discount steps

the location is quite central (i could easily walk to most places). the provided coffee and tea were a nice touch. the room included a small desk and chair.

The room lacked soundproofing. I heard neighbors easily. the electronic check-in felt impersonal. the offered parking discount required extra steps (visiting an office to validate the ticket).
