a haven of serenity

lovely patio shared kitchen useful fridge

i found the shared dining area very useful with its fridge. i could store my food, and snacks. the availability of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, cookies, and coffee pods helped me a lot. a LOVELY patio area allowed me to sit and enjoy the garden.

the room was quiet but the walls seemed a little thin.

mixed feelings about this stay

cramped bathroom street noise

the location was decent, with easy bus access to the city center (i used it a few times).

The room was smaller than expected. the bathroom was especially cramped. I found it difficult to maneuver inside it. furthermore, the noise from the busy street was quite noticeable, and i had trouble sleeping well despite the earplugs provided (i guess they knew about the issue).

Acceptable Stay, But Some Issues

narrow toilet space weak water pressure

The breakfast had a good variety of items and the space was bright and clean.

The room I had featured bathroom facilities of a very small size. The toilet space was so narrow that I had to sit sideways. My knees did not fit in the gap to the wall. The shower was added in a very narrow space, and the water pressure was weak.

I will say, the room was quite small. the bed felt even smaller! the bathroom was also a bit cramped. sound carried quite a bit. I could hear people moving around at all hours. i wasn't able to sleep that well.
