adequate stay with a few drawbacks

convenient locationcramped spaceineffective air conditioning
the location was indeed convenient for accessing main attractions.
The room looked smaller than i expected from the photos. Space felt cramped. the air conditioning was not effective, and i struggled to sleep comfortably because it was stuffy. furthermore, there where constant noise which seems like a constant shower opening.

Excellent Stay Near the Station

The room provided ample space for luggage storage and movement. The bathroom featured a very nice shower, complete with excellent water pressure. The air conditioning unit worked efficiently (it was very welcome during those warm days).
The soundproofing was not perfect, as some noise from adjacent rooms was audible at times.
