Basic Stay With Some Issues

poor sound insulation uncomfortable pillows

The location was acceptable. It was near public transportation.

The noise was a real problem. I could hear everything. The sound insulation was poor and it was impossible to sleep well. The pillows were also quite uncomfortable. They offered little support.

Central Location and Clean Rooms

public transport fresh smell

The location is convenient. I found the proximity to public transport very helpful. The room was clean and smelled fresh, a detail I certainly appreciate. I left my luggage after checkout. That helped me a lot.

Sound insulation in the room was not great. I could hear noises from outside during the night.

Dining

9/10

There were several restaurants and a supermarket close to the building. This made getting food easy, and I had good food nearby! Having a variety of dining options within walking distance was super convenient. This added much to my experience.
