Good place in a questionable location. So close to High street and wonderful restaurants and coffee places and yet surrounded by graffiti. Not easy to walk to with a suitcase from public transport. Large age range of guests, yet geared more to the younger generation. My room was large, clean and pleasant but next to bar with music playing until 11:00 p.m.

The hotel appears to be right next to a nightclub that was open till 1:30 on a Friday. We had an early train to catch the next morning and getting good sleep as we wanted to was very difficult. Aside from that the rooms were well equipped and clean.

Great area and well appointed rooms. We liked the fact they offer rooms with multiple beds, but bathroom ventilation was poor and the glass door on the bathroom does not work well with the family

Hotel close to city centre situated beside 2 bars made the music kept you up at night. If you're an early sleeper this is not the place for you. First night the music went on into past midnight. Second night the music was just a little. I stay with family of 4 in the second floor Tuesday and Wednesday night. Overall not too bad of a hotel just the noise let it down. Price was decent for the time of year July.

Shame
Room was quirky and comfortable. Access was via the courtyard to a busy noisy bar which we were warned about and to expect some noise. However we were disturbed by the sound of furniture being dragged around til after 3am and then the same thing at 9.30 so we didn’t get much sleep. Wanted a shower before we left but no hot water and the same with the sink so we left feeling grubby. Steps to our room were shared with the toilets from the bar/courtyard so on leaving we found them very sticky and strewn with empty glasses and cans that hadn’t been cleaned up. Trip hazard. Mentioned it at check out and asked for a discount to be told the manager wasn’t available so we just left. Location great. Very expensive for what we got though.
