beautiful room comfortable bed complimentary snacks street noise lack of double glazing unclear heating
the room was beautiful and well-appointed the bed was very comfortable. the shower was amazing and i liked the small garden area. the mezzanine was useful and the complimentary drinks and snacks in the fridge were a bonus.
the room faced the street and lacked double glazing. the noise from people walking past at night was noticeable. i could clearly hear conversations from adjacent rooms. the heating system wasn't clear so the room stayed uncomfortably warm.
