decent location and room cleanliness
central location room cleanliness simple checkout cold water water supply toilet 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.

loud music fluctuating temperature
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.
