Adequate stay at the guesthouse

case assistance fresh room tea selection small cubicle cramped room luggage space

It was nice someone carried my case upstairs. The room was clean, fresh, and had loads of coffee and tea. The location is within walking distance from the station. (i took a cab because i was tired).

The shower cubicle WAS small. The room felt cramped for a double room. The room did not have enough space for luggage. (it was a big problem for me).

small shower dirty bathroom

The location was acceptable for the price I paid.

The bathroom had some issues. The shower was so small I struggled to turn around without knocking against the wall. the room wasn't properly clean and there were some hairs in the bathroom. I did see what looked like blood on the ceiling, I hope it wasn't.
