small room pitched roof

The breakfast was good, and the location was close to the train station.

The room was SO small and REALLY dark. It felt claustrophobic. There was NO air conditioning, and only a tiny fan was provided. I hit my head multiple times because of the pitched roof, and the electrical sockets were difficult to use. This.
