To start with the positives. Supermarket on doorstep, tube was around the corner, 15 mins journey to the centre. Room was reasonably clean, modern. Fridge filled with free drinks, snacks on the table, tea and coffee all free. Although location seemed ok, we spent 2hrs trying to find this place. Absolutely no external signage apart from a small number 81. A small plaque inside the main foyer to which the external door was locked so had to peer through a window to know we were in the right place as looks like an office block. Rang reception for directions who weren’t very helpful. Maybe a language barrier as phone got put down twice? Not sure.. So after checking in we stayed in room 4. Room appeared nice. And what struck me was the noise from outside despite being on the 5th floor. Later that night on our way back from sightseeing we witnessed ***** and fighting outside this hotel, few dodgy people milling about. When we got into bed the noise from the road outside and people in the above apartment was awful. You could hear everything, vehicles woosh by, sirens, trams, a women shouting and carrying on upstairs, dragging chairs about. You are provided with earplugs but should you really have to wear these?? No exaggeration but it was like sleeping next to the A1. For me I want just a clean room with pretty much no external noise and this hotel couldn’t provide on this occasion. We should have requested to move rooms but other half didn’t want any drama, so I had to do without sleep for 2 days. Wouldn’t recommend if you value your sleep.
