great location ensuite shower warm welcome small room worn facilities traffic noise

The location was great.. it was just a five-minute walk to the bus station. My room included an ensuite shower room. The owner greeted me warmly upon arrival.

The room was quite small and the facilities seemed worn. The road had a lot of traffic, so sleeping with the window open wasn't ideal. I missed having a table, chairs, or a fridge in the room, especially since breakfast wasn't included.
