mixed feelings about my stay

good locationsmall roomlimited selection
the location was pretty good, close to transportation.
The room was smaller than expected, i felt a bit cramped. the breakfast was also quite disappointing. The selection was limited, and the quality wasn't great. it wasn't the worst experience, but i definitely expected more for the price.

adequate, but some drawbacks

convenient locationdated furniturenoisy door
the location was close to public transport. it made getting around fairly easy.
the room felt quite dated. the furniture looked worn, and the carpet had seen better days. the bathroom door made a loud noise whenever i tried to close it, it was really annoying. the small size added to the feeling of being cramped.

Wonderful City Stay

ideal locationample spacerain showerpoor air conditioning
The location was ideal. It allowed me to easily walk to all main attractions. I also appreciated the restaurant with its lovely beer garden (dinner was quite special there). The room provided ample space. The rain shower provided a good experience after a long day of sightseeing.
I noticed the air conditioning in my room did not function optimally. I found it difficult to adjust the temperature.
