mixed feelings about this stay
visible mould staff inattention
the location allows for easy access to nearby attractions.
The room I booked, a Double Room, was disappointing. The general upkeep was not up to standard. The bathroom needed serious attention, with visible mould around the shower. Staff did not address my concerns .

adequate stay with notable drawbacks
bad smell non-working key card
the bus stop across the road allowed me to get straight to the city center once every hour.
i encountered some issues upon arrival. i got a key for a room and found a bad smell, also the room had two single beds instead of the double bed i booked. after going back and fourth reception staff told me i got upgraded with window. i preferred what i originally booked so i went back to reception where another room was allocated but then the key card didn't work, not once, but twice.
