The rooms are really small. Storing a suitcase is difficult. There was constant noise from doors banging and late-night activity from other guests and the street. Staff were miserable and never spoke when I passed reception. I reported a problem to reception twice and nothing happened.

The bathroom felt small. There was less space in the lavatory than in airplane toilets. The shower in the room was also small. It was located next to the lift and this was not ideal.
