underwhelming stay

acceptable locationtiny roomheating problem
the location was acceptable as it was near the city center.
The room was tiny, i mean REALLY tiny. also, the heating barely worked. I had to call someone to switch it on, and even then, it was still cold. the shower situation was also a mess with the strange cord to pull. It reminded me of some kind of weird escape room puzzle.

good locationsmall roomtight space
the location was good, close to the city centre.
The room was small. It was hard to move around. the bathroom door barely opened because of the tight space. the shower was also quite small. I struggled to fit inside it comfortably, and i'm not even that tall. i think a larger room would have been much better.
