Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Fantastic common area, friendly staff, useful kitchen amenities, fairly comfortable bed and the blackout curtains helped a lot. People were quiet so I could have a good sleep. Bathroom was large and clean. Location on a side street meant the whole area was quiet but still 10-20 minutes walk from lots of attractions/points of interest. One thing I didn't like was the confusion about double-booking beds/ wrong assignment of beds - but it was sorted easily and everyone was happy in the end.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was not well ventilated, air was rare and hot, which made it hard to sleep. Plus, there are no lockers in the room, so the guest’s luggage and stuff is all over the place. The water from the shower splashes outside it, so the whole bathroom floor was wet.
