expensive drinks noticeable noise
The room felt quite cramped given the price i paid. drinks were shockingly expensive. A single shot of vodka cost £12. the noise from the nearby bar was noticeable. It disrupted what i hoped would be a quiet night. these issues detracted from the overall experience.

Reasonable stay
lovely staff comfortable bed great air conditioning awkward sink lack of soundproofing thin walls
The staff was lovely. They were always happy to help. The bed was great. The air conditioning was also great.
The sink was in an awkward position. I had to lean over the toilet to use it. The rooms are not soundproof. I could hear people from a room above.

helpful staff central location complimentary pastries small bathroom outside noise sound proofing
the staff were very helpful and polite. the location was central, so it was easy to access shops and restaurants. complimentary pastries and coffee in the morning were a nice touch.
the bathroom was quite small. i found it hard to move around in it. the noise from outside woke me up a few times during the night. it could use some sound proofing.
