faulty heating poor wifi

The location was convenient. It was easy to find.

The heating was not working in the room, a real bummer. i also had some trouble with the wifi. It didn't seem to reach my floor very well. this made it a bit difficult to get any work done, so i was not pleased.

lovely quirky stay!

comfy bed friendly staff convenient location

i found the bed to be comfy and the room was quite spacious. the staff members were really friendly plus the location is very convenient. i could easily walk to both the railway station and the town centre.

the room wasn't ready when i arrived to check in which was a small issue. there was no apology about it, and that first impression wasn't great. i was hoping to take a nap because i had an early start.

Acceptable, but certain issues need attention

street noise shower temperature

The room lacked sufficient soundproofing. Street noise was quite audible at night, hindering sleep. the shower temperature was difficult to regulate. It fluctuated between hot and cold, inconvenient..
