Some Issues During My Stay

street noisethin walls

The noise level was something else. I think the walls are made of paper because I could hear every door slam all night. Street noise was also a problem. It was hard to sleep well with the garbage trucks and sirens.

the location proved convenient.

The gym lacked sufficient equipment. I found only a few treadmills, a selection of weights, and a bench. furthermore, a gym fire alarm fitting leaked twice during my two-day stay. this all added up to a disappointing experience.

The location was acceptable for my needs.

The room I booked was far smaller than advertised. It felt closer to 16 sqm instead of the promised 26 sqm. I found hairs in the bed and the staff were not very helpful in resolving the issue, so it was very disappointing.
