Central and Clean Accommodation

Fahd greeted me warmly and made the check-in process swift. The room featured warm towels and a perfectly clean en suite, which I appreciated. The central location offered a quiet environment, a nice surprise. the experience exceeded my expectations.

The absence of a lift made carrying heavy luggage a bit difficult. I did have to lug my bags up several flights of stairs. It was not the end of the world, but I wish I had known this in advance.

The location was great. I could quickly walk to most places of interest. The room was clean and it was easy to find everything I needed..

I found no available heating . The radiator valve was open, but the thermostat seemed to prevent any heat. An extra fan heater was present, but it did not work well.

The location was FANTASTIC. It was easy to access and close to everything. The host was wonderful! He answered any queries PROMPTLY.

The room was very dated. It could probably do with a little TLC to smarten it up a little. Outdated decor is one thing though not fixing obvious things is not good.
