Adequate Location, Disappointing Room Features

easy transportationpoor plumbinghigh window
The hotel's location near the train station was acceptable, making transportation easy.
The plumbing was subpar. Every toilet flush from neighboring rooms caused loud bubbling noises in my own toilet. My room's window was positioned high, about two meters up the wall was good, though it was on the second floor. (This was very irritating).

The staff was helpful. They quickly addressed all requests! The hotel's proximity to the train station proved convenient for travel. I found the location ideal for accessing transportation links.
The room I received felt dark. The window was positioned quite high, made the room seem a bit like a basement, even on the second floor. Mugs were absent from the room, I thought that this was unusual for a hotel of this category.
