Room Issues. Location IS convenient.

small roomstrange odor
The room was rather SMALL, not at all like the photos online. the bathroom had a strange odor. It was a bit off-putting. The window faced a brick WALL, so there was NO natural light. the room felt cramped and not very inviting. I DEFINITELY expected better.

convenient locationtram stationgood foodsound proofingnoise levelsleep disturbance
The hotel's location is quite convenient. It is a short walk to main attractions. A tram station is nearby, which I found helpful. There are also many restaurants in the area.
The room was not very soundproof. I could hear conversations from the adjacent rooms. This was a bit disturbing at night. The noise made it hard to sleep properly, ONE night.
