cramped room fluctuating temperatures

The room felt quite cramped. I could barely move around with my luggage. the shared bathroom was not always clean. I encountered some hairs and dirt. the walls seemed thin. I often heard noise from other guests. the shower had fluctuating temperatures. It was difficult to find a stable warm setting. there weren't enough hooks or storage space for my clothes.

short walk city center

The location had a supermarket next door, so shopping was easy. it was also a short walk to the city center. That saved me money on transport.

the sink in the bathroom was a bit small, though it was functional.
