the bus stop near the hotel was helpful for travel. the room included a kettle and tea supplies i used. the host gave clear instructions for a simple self check in. i found shops and cafes close by for any needs.
the room lacked a bedside lamp, requiring me to get out of bed to switch off the main lights.

easy accessself check-ininconvenient moment
the location was acceptable, near bus stops for easy access to the city center.
I found the lack of staff after 6 pm quite inconvenient. I had to self check-in using a code i received only after calling from the front door.. it was a bit stressful at that moment.

Location was decent. Some issues noted
small roomnarrow stairs
The room size was rather compact, a bit of a squeeze. i also found the condition of the kettle questionable upon arrival. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned. climbing the stairs with luggage proved to be a minor challenge because they were quite narrow. it wasn't the worst experience, but some improvements would be welcome, i suppose.
