The room looked smaller than a clown car, seriously. I could barely swing a cat in there, assuming I had a cat and wanted to swing it. soundproofing was not a thing. Every conversation in the hallway sounded like it happened in my room. Sleeping felt impossible.

The staff was nice and helpful, a positive aspect.
The room décor was not to my taste. The walls were brown, and the pictures seemed tacky. The furniture looked like old crates, not the style I would expect. One fixture in the bathroom was installed poorly and stuck out in a frustrating way.

The location was quite convenient to reach the museums! The room was nicely decorated with a tub, also with a separate shower. Breakfast provided a nice variety of choices.
The rooms were smaller than I had anticipated. The size was only 12sqm instead of the advertised 17sqm. There was a lot of dust in the room, and this. The bed was not very comfortable.
