EXCELLENT stay!

amazing size room easy access

The room was clean AND tidy. The room size was AMAZING for a city center hotel. Public transport access was easy, AND it was only a short walk away.

The room was small. I felt that if you're claustrophobic, don't stay in the smallest room. It's pretty much like a closet. the room was noisy, so I could hear EVERYTHING outside.

traffic noise power point

the location was good. tram was a minute away. restaurants surrounded the hotel.

the sound proofing was terrible, i could hear every sound made in the next room and traffic noise from the main road outside. the power point by the bed only worked with the light on. lights flickered when on, a general problem with the electrics then.
