Adequate stay with some minor issues
clean room bus stop short bus poor wifi data coverage breakfast service
The room was clean. A bus stop was not far from the hotel. I could easily reach the airport with a short bus ride.
The WiFi was temporarily out of order. Mobile data coverage was poor. Breakfast was not served anymore.

loud music lukewarm water
the room was clean and the location was acceptable.
the music from the pub downstairs was very loud late into the night. it made it difficult for me to sleep, especially because i needed to wake up early for a flight (i wish i had known). the water temperature in the shower was also lukewarm, it wasn't very refreshing.

mixed feelings about this stay
shower mold hard door
the room felt a bit tired, showing signs of wear. i noticed the shower had some mold, and the bathroom fan was quite dusty. also, the sliding door to the bathroom was hard to close properly (a minor inconvenience, but still noticeable).
