The room felt much smaller than expected. I had difficulty moving around with my luggage. The bathroom sink also drained very slowly. This made simple tasks like brushing my teeth quite annoying. I also noticed the absence of a proper desk. This lack made working in the room very difficult.

The check-in process was fast. I collected my key and went to my room. the room had a modern, stylish design that i found quite appealing. it faced a quiet side street so i didn't notice any noise at all! the staff was warm and cute.

The room lacked an iron, so i needed to use the communal ironing facilities downstairs. There was only one iron, a bit inconvenient.
