Acceptable Location and Amenities

convenient sockets usb port absent staff disruptive alarm
The location was decent, just a 15-20 minute walk to the West end tram stop. My room featured convenient sockets by the bed, including a USB port. I found that quite useful. A Tesco Express was also just a short walk away, perhaps 5-10 minutes.
I found no staff present at the premises, feel more like an airbnb. The room also had some sort of alarm that went off at two o'clock in the morning. This was quite disruptive.

Charming and Convenient Getaway

clean room public transport
The room was quite clean and very well cared for. I found the location made it easy to access public transport, though the city center was slightly out of reach! It had all the facilities I required for a pleasant stay.
The walls were very thin. Noise from adjacent rooms disturbed my sleep. It was quite bothersome to hear conversations late at night
