Excellent Value and Convenient Location

friendly staffgreat locationclean roomsmall room
The staff was responsive to all requests. The location was great for accessing nearby shops. I found the room very clean upon arrival. The bed offered good comfort, ensuring a restful sleep.
The room size felt smaller than expected for the price I paid. Also furniture was of lower quality. I had assumed higher standards.

i found some issues . the room lacked proper soundproofing, and i could hear noise from neighboring rooms (this was quite disturbing at night). also, the bathroom was quite small, and the shower had inconsistent water temperature (it was hard to have a comfortable shower). i think these aspects could use some improvements.

The location is convenient, within walking distance to the city center.
I was disappointed with the housekeeping. The room was not cleaned properly one day. used towels were not removed and we only received one new bath towel (this was not great).
