noisy elevator temperature control
The staff were friendly and helpful. They gave recommendations on local places to eat.
My room was somewhat dark and dingy. it was near the elevator, so every sound was audible as guests passed by. the temperature control was not effective. The minimum temperature remained around 23c, and the fan cycled on and off constantly. it led to a poor night's sleep.

great location helpful staff small room tiny shower
The location was great. It was very close to the train station and also near to the city center. The staff proved to be helpful .
The room I stayed in was quite small, I think. The shower was particularly tiny. I could hear a lot of noise from both the corridor and the adjacent room. It was not ideal.
