acceptable locationsmoke smellmissing handle

the location was acceptable near public transport.

The room reeked of smoke. It was unpleasant. the tight space felt better suited for one person, not a couple. to top it off, the toilet lacked a handle inside, and showering was like a balancing act without proper support.

The room was clean and the mattress was comfortable. Free luggage storage was available , which I found helpful.

The shower was in a small cupboard in the room. The toilet room had a door with gaps , so there was zero privacy.
