Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

mould bathroomlumpy pillows
My room was not as clean as I expected. There was visible mould in the bathroom on the tiles. The room felt quite dated and could use some updating. The carpets looked worn, and the overall decor was disappointing. I also found the bed uncomfortable it had lumpy pillows.

A Comfortable Stay Close to Everything

excellent locationhelpful tipsnecessary equipmentlimited storage
The location was excellent I could walk to the city center easily. The owner was cute and gave helpful tips for exploring local attractions. I also appreciated the communal kitchen it had all the necessary equipment for preparing meals.
The bathroom was quite small. Storage was limited I found it difficult to keep my toiletries organized. It would benefit from a bit more space.
