thin walls loud noise

I thought the room looked nice initially. I then realized how thin the walls are there. I could hear everything from adjacent rooms. The noise was worst in the mornings when other guests checked out. This made getting a good night's sleep difficult.

Really good Stay! Modern Comforts and Great Location

friendly staff comfortable bed free water great location

The staff was really friendly and accommodating, I could even store my friend's bike inside! The room felt so modern and clean. the bed was super comfortable. I appreciated the free bottled water provided each day, a nice touch! The location was also fantastic, placing me near good restaurants.

I noticed a very tiny stain on one of the towels, but it was insignificant.

While the hotel itself doesn't offer dining, numerous restaurants are located nearby, providing several options. A pub is located directly across the street. I could easily find breakfast spots. This made dining very convenient.

thin walls poor housekeeping

the location was convenient with bus stops close by.

The walls were thin. I could hear everything. housekeeping was not thorough. The floors were not properly cleaned , and the toilet roll was not replaced when it ran out. i found this quite unacceptable.

bathroom hair slamming doors

I was frustrated by a couple of things. The housekeeper definitely missed a few spots. There was hair in the bathroom that never got cleaned . the noise from other rooms was too loud for me. I heard doors slamming constantly.
