The location proved very convenient as it was near the train station.

I found the room quite disappointing. The decor felt dated, and the furniture showed wear and tear (scratches on the wardrobe). The bathroom seemed small with inadequate space.

The room provided was disappointingly small. This contrasted sharply with the impression given by the photographs online. additionally, intrusive and continuous noise from the ventilation systems in the garden was a persistent disturbance. showering in the bathtub without a proper enclosure was also not satisfactory. it proved difficult to avoid water spillage. the shower arrangement was notably inconvenient.
