central locationroom cleanlinesssimple checkoutcold waterwater supplytoilet issue
The location was definitely central. it was in the heart of temple bar. the rooms were clean, i noticed. checking out was simple. There was a box for keys near the exit.
I found that the water kept turning off. This was a bit of an issue. every couple hours the water supply turned off completely. it would turn back on about 10 minutes after flushing the toilet.

the beds were comfortable and the location allowed for easy access to the city center.
i found the room quite noisy. the bar downstairs played music until late and it was difficult to sleep even with the earplugs provided. also, the bathroom lacked proper ventilation and the shower had fluctuating water temperature, unpleasant.

The location was central. I found myself steps away from everything I wanted to see. I was given earplugs. This was a thoughtful touch considering the lively area.
The window blinds were broken making it difficult to block out the morning light.
