early check-infine roomample parking
the landlord responded to my email and assured me they would clean the room early, so i could check in sooner. the room was fine and well presented. the rear car park has plenty of space and is right next to the accommodation, so i didn't disturb anyone when returning late.
The room was noisy. There was no bedside table on one side of the bed though the shower was powerful.

mixed feelings
convenient locationlack of ventilationearly morning noise
the location proved convenient.
My room lacked proper ventilation and i did not feel safe opening the window at ground level. Top opening would help. noise persisted until the early hours of the morning. furthermore, the absence of hooks for hanging towels was frustrating..

Adequate Stay with Noise Issues

The room was clean and included a comfortable bed.
My room was directly above the bar, so noise was significant until late (past midnight). This disturbance severely impacted my sleep quality (which I value highly).
