Opt for a Room on the Third Floor

If you prefer a quieter stay, consider requesting a room on the third floor, as some guests mentioned that it was less noisy compared to lower floors due to the bar located on the ground floor.

Check for Room Refurbishments

Some rooms on the third floor have newly refurbished bathrooms and new carpeting, so it might be worth checking for these updated rooms for a more modern experience.

Consider Noise Levels

If you are sensitive to noise, be aware that some guests reported street noise and creaky floorboards, especially in rooms facing the street, so requesting a room away from the street side might provide a quieter experience.

Explore Nearby Attractions

Enjoy the Hotel's Pub

Be Mindful of Heating

Some guests encountered issues with room heating, so it may be helpful to inquire about the heating system or request assistance if needed, especially during colder months.

Request Assistance for Accessibility

If you have mobility concerns, it's advisable to inquire about the accessibility of the elevator, as it only goes up to the second floor, which could be inconvenient for guests with excessive luggage.

Consider Room Lighting

A few guests found the room lighting to be quite dark, so if adequate lighting is important to you, it may be beneficial to inquire about the lighting situation in the rooms.

Check for Wi-Fi Reception

Some guests experienced poor Wi-Fi reception, so if reliable internet access is essential, it might be helpful to inquire about the Wi-Fi signal strength in the rooms.

Be Aware of Bathroom Conditions

While the hotel offers comfortable rooms, some guests mentioned that certain bathrooms could benefit from refurbishment and a thorough cleaning, so it's advisable to check for updated bathroom facilities.
