the hotel sits conveniently near the central train station, a wonderful advantage. our room was compact, yet thoughtfully arranged for maximum utility. when we discovered our adapters incompatible with local outlets, the front desk promptly offered a loaner for our entire stay. breakfast included a rich assortment of fruits, cheeses, and meats alongside a self-serve egg cooker and multiple bread options.
we noticed the absence of air conditioning. It was a minor inconvenience, but barely noticeable.

Acceptable but Flawed

lack of air conditioningstreet noise
The lack of air conditioning was a significant issue . The room became quite stuffy and uncomfortable. I also noticed some wear and tear, like chipped paint and slightly outdated fixtures, which gave the room a less-than-fresh feel. the noise from the street below made it difficult to sleep soundly at night. There was constant activity that disrupted the peace. I think the hotel could benefit from some updates and better soundproofing.
