Acceptable but flawed

central locationineffective soundproofinglimited breakfast

The location was good. It provided easy access to the city center.

The room, a double room, was smaller than expected. Noise from nearby bars was an issue, and soundproofing seemed ineffective (really?). The breakfast lacked variety. It became repetitive after a few days.

central locationhelpful staffhomemade optionnoisy streetunadjustable acbroken bed

the location was central. it's easy to access the main bus station from here. the staff remembered my coffee order each morning, and i liked that. the breakfast included some homemade options, nice.

my room faced a noisy street. music played loudly until about 1 am every night. i found the ac to be unadjustable, so i had to make my own arrangements for comfort. the bed frame was broken and it got a little uncomfortable when i sat up.
