adequate receptionuncomfortable bedmidnight circus
the ground floor with reception and bar seemed adequate.
I found serious issues upon entering at midnight as it resembled a messy circus. there were noisy people and general disorder. Even police were patrolling nearby. the bed proved uncomfortable, and noise persisted throughout the night. (i really needed a quiet night.)

The location is near a public transport hub. This made travel around the city convenient. The lobby features a billiards table. A breakfast service was available and quite comprehensive. The staff provided helpful assistance when needed.
the noise levels were noticeable due to the proximity to train tracks and roads. Double glazing could really improve the ambient noise levels.
