The location offered convenient transport links.
The room was not clean. Dust and dirt were visible. The WiFi barely worked. TV lagged as a result. The window did not close well. It was cold even with the radiator on.

The bed was comfortable. The instructions to find and access the room were clear.
The location above a chip shop meant I could smell it downstairs and in the hallway. This was unpleasant. Cleaning was not thorough enough during my weeklong stay. The same bathmat was not changed, and a hair remained on the shower wall.
