average stay, minor issues

friendly staffpublic transporthot roomsingle window
The staff were friendly, i will say. The public transport IS close, it was only two minutes away. It was very easy to get around.
The room was very hot DUE to the weather. There was only one window in my room, that's a problem. I had a fan though, so the nights were okay.
