Basic Stay With Some Issues

acceptable locationpoor sound insulationuncomfortable 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.

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.
