mixed feelings about this stay
ineffective windows ineffective curtains
the location was very central, and that was acceptable.
It was noisy. The Windows didn't block any street sounds. the curtains were also ineffective at blocking light. i found the lack of soundproofing and light control impacted my sleep QUALITY.

clean room lovely shower proximity location easy check-in
The room was really clean, and the shower was lovely. I was delighted with the location and proximity to the Guildhall. The location is great. It is close to EVERYTHING in the city. Check-in was really straightforward too.

I found the check-in process quite efficient because of the passcode system. The convenient kitchenette included a microwave, a very good size fridge. tea and coffee. I also appreciated the comfortable padded chair and fold-down wall table..
My room faced the street, and the noise levels were quite high between 11 PM and 2 AM. Additional soundproofing could improve the stay.
