dirty room broken handle
My room door did not close properly. the room was also quite dirty and the handle broke in my hand. I felt the hotel was old and unsafe. i received little interest in help when asking the staff for an early breakfast.

lack of space brick wall view
the room i booked, a 'beautiful double or twin room,' was shockingly tiny. maneuvering around the bed reminded me of an obstacle course. the promised 'city view' turned out to be a charming vista of a brick wall. the lack of space, brick wall view really detracted from what could have been an okay stay.

small elevator poor soundproofing
The elevator was quite small (it felt a bit shaky). The soundproofing was also not ideal. I could clearly hear conversations in the corridor, impacting the quietness of the room. The service was also a bit unprofessional. It took several attempts to get assistance with luggage during checkout.
