The hotel's location is very convenient, near many shops. The staff members were nice and helpful (specifically, when I asked for directions).

The bathroom shower design allowed a lot of water to spill.

The hotel has a very convenient location. It is close to the train station and many local restaurants. The staff were pleasant. They were also helpful .

The room was very small. The bathroom was also tiny. There were limited facilities available. This made the value seem poor, considering the price paid.

the location was definitely convenient, very close to the station.

My room was quite small, barely enough space to move around, this made it difficult to relax after a long day of travel. the cleanliness was also questionable. I noticed some stains on the bed sheets and the bathroom lacked proper ventilation, resulting in a persistent unpleasant smell.
