I found the location convenient, especially its proximity to various shops and restaurants. My room was quiet and clean. I appreciated the staff's helpfulness at reception. An umbrella was also available, useful on rainy days.

I noticed condensation on the sliding doorwith led to some mildew on the window sills. I found some ants on the tea and coffee bench as well. These issues affected my initial impression of the room. I feel that these details should be adressed more carefully.
