The hotel has a nice outdoor/undercover area for enjoyable nights and a convenient location near beverage shops and supermarkets. However, the noise could be an issue, especially when needing fresh air due to strong smells. Waking up without easy access to a drink is a downside.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in had no storage and was not serviced for the entire six days, not even to empty my waste bin. It's located above the pub and passing through other people's bedrooms down the hall could be uncomfortable.

Service

5.0

The service was acceptable, with staff agreeing to specific requests. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired, making it hard to relax in the evenings.

Location

7.0

The location is very good with nearby beverage shops and supermarkets. The outdoor area is nice for a smoke and a beer, but the noise levels can be bothersome, especially when opening windows for fresh air.

Dining

6.0

The dining options were limited, notably the egg station. Luckily, there are other eateries like 'Bread and Butter' around the corner for more variety.

Facilities

6.0

Basic facilities were available, but the ambience lacked appeal, making it less inviting to spend time in the hotel.

The hotel's location is convenient, with easy access to public & private hospitals and lovely cafes nearby. The outdoor area is a great spot for a relaxing evening. However, the noise from the adjacent traffic intersection and bright street lighting impacted my sleep quality.

Rooms

The rooms are right outside the pub's neon sign and street light, leading to some noise and light disturbances. Playing nature sounds helped alleviate some of the disturbance.

The staff, despite one incident, were friendly and accommodating, providing a welcome drink to ease any nerves. However, there was a mishap with an employee snatching my ID and credit card.

Location
