convenient stay

clean roomfriendly staffmissing refrigerator
the location provided easy access to the city center, yet it remained quiet. i found the reception staff consistently friendly and helpful (a very welcome experience). the room was clean, and the breakfast offered sufficient choices to start the day well.
the absence of a refrigerator in the room was inconvenient, especially for storing drinks or snacks. it would have added extra comfort to have this facility available. this is something i hope can be considered for future improvements.

the location was acceptable (near public transportation) and breakfast provided a decent variety of food.
The room was not cleaned . Rubbish was not removed and fresh towels were not provided. this lack of service made the room unpleasant. i think there should be an option for daily cleaning, even if it is on request only.
