an average stay, some downsides noticed

small room street noise

The location proved convenient. It allowed easy access to public transport.

The room i got was rather small, a bit tight for space. breakfast was pretty basic. The coffee tasted watered down, which wasn't great (it could be better, honestly). the noise from the street was quite noticeable. Keeping the window closed and the air conditioning on was a must.
