Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues Observed
friendly staffsewage odor
The front desk staff was friendly at check-in.
My bathroom emitted a sewage odor each time I used the sink. It was very unpleasant, especially while brushing my teeth. The water temperature in the shower was also erratic, fluctuating from cold to very hot without warning. I experienced a burn when the water became hot suddenly.

The hotel had a great location close to many shops and train stations. I also appreciated the helpful staff. They provided very useful directions. My room was clean and well-kept.
