small room thin walls
The room size surprised me. It felt cramped, and I wasn't expecting that. The second issue involved noise. I could hear conversations through the walls, quite distracting and made relaxing difficult.

underwhelming stay despite good location
non-working shower loud noises
the location was quite good.
The shower wasn't working on the first morning. there was no obvious way to contact any staff. loud noises at night really kept us up. I found that very frustrating, considering the price of the room. the inability to easily reach someone for assistance was a definite drawback.

mixed experience
sound insulation buzzing sound
the breakfast had a good choice.
i'm not sure why, but there was no tv in the room. the sound insulation wasn't great, so i could hear people in the next room. there was also a buzzing sound when i was trying to sleep.

i found the breakfast service very efficient. the staff seated guests quickly and kept the buffet well-stocked. the coffee machine offered a variety of options , ensuring everyone found something to their liking. i used the complimentary toiletries provided in the bathroom. the shower had excellent water pressure.
the walls seemed a little thin , as i could hear some noise from the hallway.
