large size helpful staff small sink room noise

The triple room I stayed in had a large size. There was plenty of space between beds, and ceilings reached a high level. The front office staff helped move my suitcase up the stairs. The location proved fantastically central. There were bars and restaurants close, and there was public transport right outside.

The sink in the bathroom was too small. It was hard to fill the kettle. I could hear conversations next door and doors slamming in other rooms. That wasn't ideal.

convenient stay near hydro

friendly staff convenient parking excellent breakfast

the front desk staff were very friendly and thoroughly explained everything upon arrival. i found parking easily right at the front door which was very convenient. the location worked well as i attended a show at the ovo hydro a short walk away. the breakfast was very tasty for £10 even though it required a short walk to a nearby hotel

the off switch for the ceiling lights was not near the bed making it less convenient for reading at night i had to get up to turn them off which was a minor issue
