convenient stay near the city

great location comfortable beds tea facilities cosy rooms

The residence's location worked very well. I received all the necessary details before my arrival. the room had a good size, and i found the beds comfortable. It was nice that i could make tea or coffee in the room. the bus stops are only a few minutes away. the rooms felt cosy, and i rested well in my bed.

The bathroom could have been tidier. I think that adding a toilet brush would be a small upgrade.

easy check-in convenient location included breakfast bathroom condition smell quality dishes quantity

I liked the easy check-in procedure because the key was in a safe with a code. This meant I didn't worry about arriving at a precise hour. Breakfast got included, which I was glad for. The location worked out quite convenient to get to from the airport.

The room smelled not very fresh. The dishes provided weren't enough for two. The bathroom looked a bit rough to me.
