dirty showerunsafe area
The location was convenient BUT the area felt unsafe. noise persisted at all hours, disrupting sleep. I think the initial room was uncleaned. the second room i stayed in had a dirty shower, made ME question the cleanliness of sheets and towels. even the soap was just on the floor.

adequate, but with issues

central locationstreet noisefree wifi users
the location was central, next to many facilities.
the room faced the street and it was very loud. a gambling bar was next door, besides a truck parking and a tram and train station outside. people congregated loudly to use the hotel's free wifi. it was hard to sleep with all the noise.
