mixed feelings about the stay

convenient locationmold issuesmall sink

the location was convenient for accessing nearby restaurants.

The room was quite disappointing, particularly the bathroom. there was mold present, and the faucet seemed outdated with separate controls for hot and cold water. the sink was also far too small for practical use. I struggled to wash my hands without water splashing everywhere.

the facilities were great. the rooms was suitably laid out and provided comfort. the communal areas allowed everyone to come together. local bars, shops, and cafes are so close.

the radiator in the bedroom weren't on, so the room was cold AT night. there are tea, coffee, and sugar in room but no milk. i always look for accommodation with on site parking but it DOES not exist here.
