small roomthin walls
I was not happy with the size of my room. I booked a Small Double Room, but it was indeed small. The room felt cramped, and there was barely any space to move around. I found this quite irritating. the walls seemed thin, and I could hear noise from the adjacent rooms and the hallway. I wanted more peace and quiet. This made it difficult to relax.
