Central Location, but Issues with Noise and Cleanliness
central locationmakeup stainsunacceptable noise
The location was certainly central, near pubs and shops.
The noise levels were unacceptable as my room faced the street. Crowds gathered until early morning hours. I also found visible makeup stains on the duvet cover, raising concerns about cleanliness.

mixed feelings about the stay
central locationbroken socket casings
the location was central, very convenient.
I was very frustrated with the noise at night! the street was loud until late, and thin walls amplified everything. plus, one of the plug socket casings in my room was completely broken from the wall. I found no screws securing it.

extreme noiseunsecured hotel
the noise was a real issue. my room faced the street and the party went on until sunrise, complete with shouting and smashing (what else?). i also suspect some randoms got in since the hotel didn't feel secure, especially as my call to the contact number went unanswered. basically, sleep was off the menu.

The location was central. I have to give them that.
Sleep was elusive, thanks to the paper-thin walls and the lively pub scene just outside. i could hear every word from the next room and every cheer from the bar below. the shower was also a test of patience. It took forever to get the temperature right.
