carpet stains bad water pressure
The location was acceptable. It was right in the center of town.
The room i got was not properly cleaned. I noticed stains on the carpet. the bathroom floor clearly was not mopped, and there was dust everywhere. also, the shower was not the best. It was very small with bad water pressure.

mixed feelings about this stay

small room nighttime noise
the room, they call a 'small double room', was indeed small. i seemed like a sardine in a can, and opening my suitcase was a strategic operation. plus, there was some noise at night, sounded like the building settling, or maybe it was just my imagination. it annoyed me though. i slept poorly.

The location was central. Most attractions were a short walk away. the breakfast in the cafe downstairs was delicious. the rooms had comfortable beds and a good shower. It suited my needs for a short stay.
The room i had was quite small. It was a bit difficult to move around with luggage. the bathroom lacked good soundproofing. i could hear noises from other rooms, including people talking.
