basic stay with noise issues

the room was clean and tidy.
The noise from the road outside was quite loud. It really bothered me at night! the traffic kept me awake even with the windows closed. i should've asked for a room further away from the main road.

Satisfactory Stay

clean roomquiet areabus accessshort walk
The room was clean and tidy. I found everything I needed for my short stay. I liked that it was a quiet area. It suited my need for rest after long travel days. Two buses run regularly from the city center to the villa, taking about 15 minutes. I could walk to the Minister in about 20 minutes.
The room was a bit small for a twin room, and it might be awful to have two adults stay there.
Facilities
8/10
The hotel provides tea and coffee facilities, alongside a fridge that guests can use. Basic TV programmes are available in the rooms, which allows for some entertainment. Toilet facilities are separate from the shower room. This is very convenient.
Location

The hotel is situated a short walk from the city center. This makes it accessible. Three bus routes serve the location, with buses arriving approximately every ten minutes. Contactless payment is accepted on the buses. This simplifies travel arrangements.
