mixed feelings about the stay

odd decor cramped room

the room decor was quite odd. fabric seemed hung everywhere without purpose. the room itself felt cramped and lacked storage for luggage. i later discovered what looked to be bed bug bites.

decent location, some drawbacks

convenient location helpful staff inaccurate photos tiny space

the location was quite convenient near the main train station. the staff were friendly and helpful with directions. the room was also clean..

the photos of the room looked different from the actual room. the design felt a bit off, and i was told that other available rooms were even worse. the space was also very tiny, with minimal space for storing luggage.
