metro station friendly staff clean room small room proper window claustrophobia
the location was really great! it was close to the metro station, i found lots of attractions nearby. the staff were friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. the room was clean, i appreciated the hot shower with good pressure.
our room was a basic double room, and it felt too small for us. i was aware of small rooms, but this one really shocked me a bit. the lack of a proper window added to the claustrophobia. it was a bit stuffy!
