adequate stay

daily cleaningroom serviceproximity metrosound insulationnoise levelsoutdated room
the breakfast buffet provided a good start to the day it offered variety i appreciated the daily room cleaning service with provided water bottles. the hotel's proximity to the metro station was advantageous for city exploration. i found it convenient to access various parts of the area without difficulty.
the room i occupied was somewhat outdated with noticeable marks on the walls i considered the bathroom condition rather disappointing. the sound insulation was insufficient i could clearly hear noises from adjacent rooms.

The location proved very convenient. It allowed quick access to the bus station for a day trip. Breakfast featured a good variety of choices, and I liked the fresh fruit selection.
My room faced the street. Noise levels were high. Traffic started early and continued late into the night. The bathroom showed its age. I saw some mildew in the shower.

The street surrounding the hotel wasn't very appealing. it felt a bit unsafe and run-down, especially at night. the noise levels were quite high, especially in the mornings. the cleanliness of the room could have been better. I noticed some dust and a few hairs.
