great central locationtiny roommissing closet
The location was great, right in the center. It was easy to walk to many places.
The room was pretty small. I barely had space to move around with my luggage. The sink was in the main room, not in the bathroom, and that felt awkward and lacked privacy. The room lacked a closet.

Acceptable Stay, Some Definite Drawbacks

The staff were friendly and helpful (a definite plus).
Unfortunately, the room design presented some issues. The glassed-off bathroom lacked privacy. It felt somewhat exposed. The sink being located in the main room was inconvenient.

The staff was very helpful! I also appreciated the guitars available for playing. The location was convenient. Public transport was nearby. I also liked the bar and its cocktails.
The room design was unusual. The glassed-off bathroom flooded a bit. The sink was also located in the main room. I did not like it. The bare concrete ceilings also weren't my preference.

The location was fantastic, providing easy access to the city center. I liked the Marshall speaker available in the room.. It added a unique touch. The galley on each floor had useful items like coffee and an iron with an ironing board. That helped me a lot.
