fine locationdim roomsingle window
the location was fine, close to the train station i guess.
The room i was given was pretty dim. Natural light barely peeked in, and the single window looked out onto some undefined internal space. i'm not even sure what it was supposed to be, not a courtyard at least.

adequate location, some comfort issues

warm roomunfriendly staff
the room felt stuffy despite attempts to air it out. opening the terrace doors led to a mosquito invasion, which wasn't ideal. i requested a fan, it helped somewhat, but the room remained uncomfortably warm. also, the front desk staff didn't seem particularly cute, a small detail that affected the overall experience.
