great location beautiful building heating schedule water pressure
the location was great! it was only a short walk to the city centre, made exploring so easy. the building itself had a beautiful aesthetic, with a very cute vibe (i mean, who doesn't love a good welcome?).
I did find a couple of things not so great. the room lacked individual temperature controls. It got quite chilly since the heating schedule wasn't always ideal. also, the shower was a bit small. Water pressure could have been better too.

the hostess upgraded me to a king size bed unasked.
i was not pleased that the room lacked in-room temperature controls and i had to rely on the house heating schedule. the room never really warmed up enough for me to feel comfortable, especially in the mornings when the cold air from the bathroom made showering unpleasant.
