24 7 kitchen unbeatable location low ceiling humidity spots
The kitchen was accessible 24/7 with breakfast items available. The location is unbeatable I guess.
I got the cheapest room available. It was cheap I admit. The ceiling was so low I could touch it plus the bathroom had humidity spots. It was really unnerving. Finding parking was difficult too.

easy access helpful staff balcony view street noise weak pressure insufficient soundproofing
The location provided easy access to many areas. I found restaurants close to the fish market. The staff seemed helpful and friendly. Breakfast on the balcony with a view of the city was a treat. I enjoyed the variety of food and the coffee.
The noise from the street at night was bothersome. The shower water pressure was also quite weak, with only a small stream. I found the windows lacked sufficient soundproofing.
