Guests appreciated the hotel's convenient location near public transport and dining options. However, many reviews highlighted significant noise issues from the street and trains, making it difficult to sleep.

Pros (+) Location and staff were good.
Cons (-) It felt like a prison due to the style of open floors and lack of windows onto outside space. Lots of light came into the room.
