Acceptable, but With Issues

hot room uncomfortable beds

The location was good. It was near the train station (very convenient).

My room was too hot. There was no air conditioning, and I wasn't allowed to fully open the window. The beds weren't very comfortable. They were just basic hostel beds. (I suppose I got what I paid for.)
