The staff arranged a taxi to the airport for me. They also packed a breakfast box because I left early. I found the location central and quite convenient.

The room was very small , and it was a little difficult to fully extend my suitcase on the floor.

The location was close to transportation options.

The room was small with limited space. There were many steep stairs. This made carrying luggage difficult. I also noticed bad smells from the toilet.

good locationnarrow stairsscary crowd

The location was good, near the city center.

The stairs were quite narrow. I tripped with my bags. My foot got twisted. The room felt cramped. I also didn't like the predominantly Arab neighborhood. I found the crowd a bit scary at night, really.
