i really appreciated being so close to the main street, it was a short walk. the bus station being just behind was super convenient! i found the soundproof windows very effective, i slept soundly.

the location was acceptable, near transportation stops.
The room was very small. The bed was equally small. the decor looks outdated. housekeeping began vacuuming next door at 8:30 am, hitting the wall repeatedly. this was disruptive.

mixed feelings on central stay

small room thin walls
the location was indeed very central.
The room i got was small. there was hardly any space to move around, and trying to unpack was like a game of tetris with my suitcase. to top it off, i could hear every single noise from outside. It seemed like the walls were made of paper. Seriously.
