Central Location. Noise Issues

loud music poor soundproofing

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?

Acceptable Location. Some Disappointments

low pressure room 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.
