inconsistent room servicing uncleaned cups
The location was quite convenient. Restaurants and public transport were nearby.
I found the room servicing inconsistent. It was supposed to be every second day. the old sheets were just straightened, and more towels were dropped off.. No surfaces were wiped. Used cups remained uncleaned.

convenient location helpful staff limited space street noise
The location proved to be very convenient. I appreciated the easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. The staff was helpful. They assisted me with directions and recommendations .
The room size was smaller than I anticipated. I found the limited space a bit restrictive, especially with luggage. There was some noise from the street at night. This made it difficult to fall asleep initially.

The beds were quite comfortable. I found the location to be pretty amazing.
The front desk staff was quite rude. I must say. I hired bikes that were dropped at reception. The bike hire company was a day late picking them up. The reception called after my stay to tell me they were dumping them on the street. How thoughtful.

This location is close to many restaurants. There is easy access even after hours. The room was clean and tidy. It included amenities for coffee and tea.
The bathroom was tiny and in need of an update. I noticed mould and cracked tiles. The shower had poor water pressure. This made showering frustrating.
