balanced stay overall

reasonable breakfastclean roomtidy roomfake graffitiinsufficient toilet paperimpractical hook
The breakfast was reasonable. i found the rooms clean and tidy. i also liked how close the hotel is to the train station. It's really convenient. it made my travel so much easier!!!
the design included some unappealing features, like fake graffiti. i also found there was not enough toilet paper. i think a closet would be nice instead of just hooks on a wire panel. it felt a bit impractical.

The room was cozy and clean. breakfast had many options. I could leave my bags after checkout, letting me explore the city more easily. That was nice. the location was convenient. It was easy to reach the city center. the staff were accommodating and cute.
the bathroom was small. towels nearly touched the toilet when hung. there was minimal storage space in the room. it was just some hangers. the bed mattress did not feel straight all the time.
