Mixed Feelings About This Place

constant noise poor soundproofing

The location was acceptable, near the park.

The room was not soundproofed well. Street noise was constant. Cafes located below the windows added to the din. The noise continued late into the night and started again early in the morning, impacting my sleep.

uncomfortable bed high noise

the location was acceptable, though i did find the staff helpful when i asked about directions.

The noise levels were honestly a problem. I could hear everything from the street and the rooms next to mine. the bed was also quite uncomfortable. It moved with every little shift. i ended up with a sore back, and that's not how i wanted to remember my trip.
