damp patchesunhelpful staff
The room felt quite outdated. the bathroom had visible limescale and some damp patches. i also found the staff a bit unhelpful. Getting a taxi sorted was more complicated than it needed to be, the language barrier didn't help, and i was like they weren't trying hard enough to understand me.
