Acceptable stay close to public transport

convenient location public transport helpful staff small bathroom shower door street noise

The location proved convenient for accessing public transportation. The proximity to the metro station made getting around easy. Staff members were very helpful when I needed to make urgent phone calls. The room included air conditioning, a welcome relief.

The bathroom felt very small. The shower lacked a proper door. This caused water to spill onto the floor. There was noise from the street and it was quite noticeable. I found the noise levels challenging.

leaking air conditioning inadequate soundproofing

I encountered some issues . The air conditioning unit leaked and that created a puddle. The television was quite small. The soundproofing was inadequate. I could clearly hear noises from other rooms (it was a bit disturbing).
