Spacious and Well-equipped

The bathroom I used during my stay was incredibly spacious and seemed newly renovated. It had a nice shower with good water pressure, which was a pleasant surprise. I really appreciated having my own bathroom instead of sharing. It felt clean and had all the essentials needed for a comfortable experience.

A Cozy Retreat

My bedroom was not only clean but also cozy and modern, providing a perfect retreat after exploring the city. The ambiance was just right, and I found myself looking forward to retreating to my room every night. The décor may be a bit old-fashioned, but it added to the charm of the place. It was a perfect spot to recharge my batteries.

Great Wi-Fi Access

One of the best features during my stay was the free Wi-Fi access. I could connect easily without any issues, which allowed me to plan my daily excursions and keep in touch with friends back home. It was a convenient addition, especially for someone like me who loves to share travel updates on social media.
