thin wallssound proofing
the walls seemed thin. i could hear other guests moving about. i also heard them talking quite clearly through the walls. this made it difficult to relax and sleep properly at times. the noise was a real problem, and i think better soundproofing is needed.

Wonderful City Stay

The hotel is very close to the city center. My room was quite clean and had a comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and always willing to help! Bottles of water were also provided in my room. I thought the fridge was a nice feature. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere. I slept so well each night.
I wish the bathroom had a working exhaust fan. It got a bit damp.
