acceptable locationcramped roomlacking ventilation
the location was acceptable enough, about a 10-15 minute walk to the main attractions..
My room felt pretty cramped. there wasn't much space to open my suitcase fully, and the lack of ventilation made it stuffy. Opening the window meant facing the cold since it was located high up. the charge felt steep considering these issues.

i found the staff to be friendly and always ready to assist, especially adrian at the front desk. the breakfast was consistently on time, a good start to each day. the cleanliness of the place was amazing.
The soundproofing wasn't ideal. I could hear the recycling truck collecting glass bottles early in the morning. it impacted my sleep quality, but i guess it is something hard to deal with in central areas.
