tiny bathroombrick wall

My room was quite a squeeze. I could barely open my suitcase without rearranging the furniture. The bathroom was similarly compact. Turning around in the shower was an Olympic sport. the promised 'city view' turned out to be an inspiring vista of a brick wall,, admittedly, not very inspiring. It's a shame they couldn't manage to at least put a mirror on that wall..

the room was beautifully decorated and modern. the bed was very comfortable (i slept so well!). the staff were so friendly and helpful, and they fulfilled my request for dairy-alternative milk. the location was also convenient for getting around the city while still being in a quieter area.

the room was quite small, but i found it functional. privacy was limited when using the bathroom because of the small space.

The absence of air conditioning in the hallways was noticeable, especially after returning from outside. My room overlooked a rather uninspiring view, a brick wall. These things certainly detracted from the overall experience..
