helpful staff comfortable bed high noise small bathroom

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. They created a very cute atmosphere. the breakfast was good with a decent selection of items. i especially enjoyed the fresh fruits. the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

the noise level was quite high at times. it was difficult to sleep as the sound from the street was quite loud and constant. also, the bathroom was a bit small, and there was no proper shower door. this meant water would spill onto the floor.
