okay stay

convenient locationprofessional staffbaggage storagesmall roominaccurate picturessmall closet
The location is very convenient. It is close to the park, pubs, and shops. I also found the staff to be professional and friendly. I appreciated the available baggage storage (i had a late flight).
My room was quite small. It did not match the pictures in the advertisement. There was not much space next to the bed for luggage. the closet was too small to hang a jacket properly.

thin wallsuncomfortable bed
The room felt quite cold despite the air conditioning being cranked up to 30 degrees! the noise was also a major issue. The walls seemed paper thin. loud conversations kept me awake past 1 am. i also noticed marks all over the walls. It felt more like a run-down student accommodation than anything else. the bed was far too springy. It was very uncomfortable.
