i was blown away by the location , so central and easy to walk everywhere. the room had modern details and felt super cosy , a very welcome retreat. i found the staff cute .

the bathroom lacked a shower screen , so water splashed everywhere whenever i used the handheld shower. it made keeping the bathroom dry quite challenging , something i hope they can improve.
