Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
comfortable bedshower leakinadequate drainage
The bed was comfortable and allowed for restful sleep.
The shower design proved problematic. Water leaked from the shower into the main room. The lack of proper drainage needs addressing immediately.

mixed feelings about this stay
strange room layoutmonotonous breakfast
the room layout felt strange. the sink was in the hallway, not inside the bathroom itself. it made washing up inconvenient. breakfast also became repetitive after a few days it lacked variety so eating there got tiresome.

the room felt quite dark because of the black tiles. the sink was right behind the main door, that seemed odd. the corridors were not pleasant at all. it just felt seedy.
