limited space disruptive noise
The room provided was smaller than expected. I found the limited space somewhat restrictive. the absence of sufficient lighting complicated tasks requiring focus. additionally, the noise level from adjacent rooms was disruptive. i requested a room change. none was available . the disturbance made it difficult to rest properly.

small room street noise
The location allowed easy access to local shops and restaurants. It was also close to public transport.
The room was smaller than i anticipated, even for a single traveller. The promised fridge was absent, limiting my ability to store drinks or snacks. the noise from the street was noticeable late into the night, disrupting sleep. I expected a quieter environment for the price I paid
