A Decent Stay

central location friendly staff kitchenette equipment dark room worn robes inconvenient bathroom

The location was great and very central. The staff were friendly and helpful. My room included a kitchenette with all the necessary equipment.

The room was dark and furnished with cheaper pieces. The robes were quite worn. I found the proximity of the bathroom to the bed inconvenient.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Encountered

noisy cleaning staff sewage smell

The shower was great. I must admit.

The heating system didn't work during my two-night stay. The reception staff couldn't fix it and didn't offer another heating device. Cleaning staff were quite noisy at 10:00 am. They were talking and laughing loudly and shutting doors hard, so sleeping in was impossible. A bad sewage smell emanated from the kitchen. It was quite off-putting.
