organised accommodation great location private bathroom filthy rooms
Check-in and check-out were easy. The accommodation was very well organised! It was also clean and had everything I needed. The location is also great. There are many shops, restaurants, a cafe, and a park nearby.
We were a group. The bathroom was presented as private. It was not, and it did not have ventilation? The rooms were filthy. I did not like that.
