Loved the location but won’t be staying there again.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Good space in the room.

Cons:

Smelled awful especially the bathroom. I asked for my bathroom to be cleaned but the smell was still there. Also before I checked in I asked for my blessings to be all white which was accepted by the property. When I got there, this wasn’t the case. Dark grey beddings.

Overall, for me this is 7/10 because everything is automated. It’s convenient that nobody asks silly questions or wa
Pros:

The value for money is excellent. There is a kitchenette with dishes, a microwave, hot water, convenient access to the rooms via PIN code, and clean bedding and towels.

Cons:

there was a strange smell in the room, the window wouldn’t close, so we had to prop it up with a bag. The floor wasn’t very clean, as if someone had walked around in dirty shoes, and the blue box under the TV was covered in dust. We also arrived at the wrong address because the address with instructions is sent before check-in. It wasn’t a big problem since they provided everything immediately, but we had three large suitcases and hand luggage, so walking for 10 minutes wasn’t very convenient after several hours on the road
