adequate stay with some drawbacks

good locationcramped roompoor shower separation
the location was pretty good for getting around town by foot it was convenient enough.
the room i had was quite small i felt cramped it barely had space for my things the shower being right in the room with no proper separation was also not ideal it made the whole place feel damp and uncomfortable it wasn't well explained when i booked that it was going to be that way.

slow replenishmentpoor ventilation
the breakfast was quite underwhelming i thought it was lacking in variety and the replenishment of items was slow at one point there were no croissants left. the room had poor ventilation this resulted in a damp feeling especially in the bathroom. this made it difficult to regulate the temperature and maintain a comfortable environment.
