Really good Location, Excellent Amenities

metro station restaurant selection on-site restaurant convenient commute

The location proved to be a significant advantage with the metro station conveniently across the road. This proximity simplified my daily commute. A diverse selection of restaurants and stores are located nearby. I found the on-site restaurant especially pleasing. I liked the döner box.

The elevators were temporarily out of service for a day, causing a slight inconvenience when transporting luggage to my room.

The room i got was disappointing. i found dirty marks all over the walls. That was unacceptable. the shower curtain also looked terrible. It really needed replacing. plus, the carpet in the hallway was disgusting. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages.

adequate stay with some drawbacks

traffic noise small room

The room felt quite small despite its description. also, i found the constant noise from nearby traffic very bothersome. It disrupted sleep a few nights. there was no visible soundproofing and the windows seemed thin. the limited space and persistent noise impacted the overall experience.
