Decent Amenities, but Some Disappointments

useful amenitiesloud noisemouldy sealant
The room included useful amenities like a kettle, toaster, microwave, and fridge.
The noise was disruptive. I could hear customers shouting outside. The fire alarm went off early in the morning and no staff were present (I didn't see any signs indicating where to go). The sealant around the shower was mouldy.

The room was clean and well equipped at a very reasonable price. Polite staff provided milk, butter and water in the fridge.
There was no running hot water from the bathroom tap. This made showering difficult, and washing my hands was unpleasant.
