the location was alright.

the noise from the bar downstairs was so bad i barely slept the first night. the music went on till so late and it reminded me of the bed was shaking. plus, the next day, early in the morning, they were unloading stuff outside and it was noisy. the room itself was really small and felt old.

The location is amazing. I could easily walk to many key attractions. the staff was helpful. They moved my room because i had quite a few bags, this meant i didn't have to climb many stairs. the room included daily housekeeping. This service kept everything tidy and refreshed.

The room was somewhat warm. I couldn't adjust the radiator, but a fan in the wardrobe was helpful.
