Central Location. Noise Issues

The noise. It was awful. Music played loudly until 3 AM. Water taps sounded very close, almost inside the room. I did find earbuds on the pillow. So thoughtful. I wonder why they provided them?

the provided water bottles were a nice touch. The room was sparkling clean with high ceilings. I found the private bathroom equally clean.

The room faced a busy street. Therefore, some traffic noise was noticeable.

Acceptable Location. Some Disappointments

convenient locationlow pressureroom size

The hotel's location was convenient, close to transport links.

My room was quite small and felt a bit neglected. The shower had very low water pressure. It was hard to wash properly. the noise from other rooms was noticeable, especially late at night, it disrupted my sleep.
