fantastic stay

convenient accessquick tram ridelovely roomthin wall

i thoroughly enjoyed how close the hotel was to haymarket station. i loved not staying directly in the center but still having convenient access, the tram ride was so quick. exploring neighborhoods like stockbridge was easy because it was just 10 minutes away. the room was lovely and as expected from a hoxton.

the walls seemed thin, and i could hear conversations from the adjacent room. i also heard showering noises. at 2:30 am, the sound of the next room's door opening startled me awake.

the hotel has an excellent location with easy access to transport. the tram stop is very close, facilitating quick travel to the city center and nearby areas like stockbridge. haymarket station provides additional transport options for exploring the wider area.

The room lacked proper soundproofing. External noise was REALLY audible. The bathroom cleanliness was subpar upon arrival. I found hair in the shower. Basic amenities were absent, including toothbrushes, face cloths, and a toilet brush. This felt disappointing considering the price I paid!!!

the bed was comfy enough, I guess. at least the room had fresh milk in the fridge.

the walls were thin as paper. i could hear everything my neighbors said. breakfast was a mess, too crowded and i couldn't get a table even though i stayed at the hotel.
