surprisingly good stay

friendly staff convenient lighting effective curtains public transport
the staff were quite friendly and helpful throughout my stay. the room had convenient lighting and effective curtains that blocked out most of the light. i found the bed to be reasonably comfortable (even though it was a bit firm). the location made it easy to get around using public transport.
the doors weren't particularly soundproof, i could hear some noise from the hallway.

the hotel provides functional tools that appear clean and well kept for guest use. laundry facilities were available (though i did not use them on this trip) for longer stays.
Location

the surrounding neighborhood features various restaurants catering to diverse tastes, a benefit i definitely took advantage of. the hotel is also located within reasonable walking distance of public transport options, awesome for straightforward access to many areas.
Service

the check-in process is self-service via an app. the staff at the front desk were approachable and ready to assist with any questions (i only needed directions once).
Dining

there are vending machines on-site offering a selection of snacks and drinks. the breakfast buffet had a decent selection of items, including fresh bread and fruit (the coffee was okay).

great location easy access scuffed walls missing wardrobe
the location was great (I felt okay all time). public transport was very close, offering easy access to various parts of the city.
the walls in the room had some scuffs. there was no wardrobe to store belongings, resulting in some clutter.

The room was spacious. it provided everything i needed. the area had a good vibe, even though some reviews about cleanliness concerned me. I found it better than expected, though not perfect.
the parking area was full. i had to search for about thirty minutes to find a spot. the room felt dark even when all the lights were on. some lights and sockets didn't work.
