I found Hotel Light to be a mixed bag during my stay. While the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, the room left much to be desired in terms of comfort and quality. The hotel's location had its pros and cons; it was close to public transport but felt a bit questionable at times. Overall, improvements in dining and amenities are essential for making this a worthwhile experience. 🏨😕

I wasn't thrilled with the location, as it felt a bit dodgy. Walking around in the evening made me uncomfortable, although it was relatively close to the city center and a nice area if you turned the right way.

I decided to skip the breakfast offered at the hotel. Instead, I found a much better breakfast around the corner. The dining options at the hotel just didn't appeal to me.

Facilities

There was no elevator which made carrying my luggage a bit of a hassle up the stairs. The common areas could use some TLC, and the absence of a safe in the room was a drawback.

My stay at Hotel Light was a mixed experience. While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the overall value for the price was disappointing. The room, although clean, felt cramped and had a tiny bathroom that could use better design. The location was decent, but I wouldn't call it a safe neighborhood. Overall, I think the hotel has potential but needs significant improvements to justify the rates they're charging. 🏨😕
