Definitely not impressed. We chose this hotel for its central location, which is highly walkable and close to public transport, but that is about where the positives end. The room was quite a bit more humble than in the photos online, which was not a dealbreaker, but overall it was not a comfortable place to stay. The room fluctuated between being too cold and too hot, and you can hear absolutely everything that happens both inside and outside the building (very glad we had earplugs).
