the staff welcomed me warmly and explained everything clearly at check-in this was appreciated
the bathroom was quite small and inconvenient the shower curtain was positioned right next to the toilet this made the entire bathroom wet after each shower there was also no safe in the room which concerned me given the location and lack of constant supervision

i had a beautiful view of the inner garden, it was very tranquil. the staff proved helpful, keeping my luggage safe when my train was delayed for eight hours post-checkout. i could really enjoy my final day without worries.
The noise insulation was not the best. Every word from the hallway was audible, mainly because of the thin doors

I found the staff warm and helpful. the hotel's location was convenient for accessing key attractions. i appreciated the extra layer of security at night with the locked front door. It added to my peace of mind. there were also mini markets nearby which proved useful for grabbing quick snacks.
the absence of more bathroom storage was a slight inconvenience. there was not enough space to place toiletries. a small shelf or additional counter space would be beneficial.
