dark roomhanging sockets
The room was really dark. it was also the smallest room i stayed in during my trip. electrical sockets were hanging off the wall in the corridor. It wasn't a good look. breakfast wasn't included, and they wanted to charge €25 per person each day.

limited waterunavailable supplies
i found a couple of things disappointing . firstly, the promised complimentary bottled water was limited to just one bottle for the entire stay. i also needed to request coffee and milk creamers (i was told they weren't available) which was quite inconvenient. it felt odd that such basic amenities weren't readily provided in the room (especially considering the price).
