“The advantage of this property lies in its proximity to local shops, providing convenient access for necessities; however, some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and shared cooking facilities. While one reviewer praised the helpfulness of the staff, others described significant issues with room quality and additional charges, therefore I think improvements are needed.”
