The room was nice, offering a QUIET location near transport facilities! It was easy to access beaches from here. I not sketchy at all as a solo female traveler. The bus stop to the city centre was just two minutes away. A cafe and a friendly bar were also right around the corner.
The corridors looked a bit dusty . It was a minor issue.

The location is a bit outside the center, but many transport links provide easy access. The hotel is close to a bus route and not too far from the sea. It is also close enough to the tram stop.

The room was quite small. the wifi speed was also a major issue. I struggled to get a stable connection for basic tasks. finally, the noise from the street was noticeable and disrupted sleep, especially with the window not sealing properly. this needs addressing.
