Opt for a Room Away from the Bar
If you're a light sleeper, consider requesting a room away from the bar to minimize noise disturbances, especially during weekends.
Bring Earplugs
As mentioned in several reviews, the hotel provides earplugs due to the noise from the bar, so it's advisable to bring your own or use the ones provided for a better night's sleep.
Check Room Facilities
Before booking, ensure that the room facilities, such as hair dryers and lighting, meet your expectations, as some guests found these lacking or in need of improvement.
Consider the Location
The hostel's central location is ideal for exploring the city and its attractions, but it's important to note that the area can get lively, especially during weekends, which may not suit all travelers.
Be Mindful of Noise Levels
The hotel's proximity to a night club means that noise levels can be high, particularly during weekends, so it's recommended to be prepared for potential disturbances.
Check for Renovations
Some guests noted that the property is undergoing renovations, so it's worth checking with the hotel if this may impact your stay or if you prefer to stay in a fully renovated environment.
Verify Room Amenities
Double-check the availability of amenities like Wi-Fi in the room, as some guests experienced issues with connectivity, which could be important for work or leisure purposes.
Plan for Parking
If you're arriving by car, be mindful that the hotel does not offer free parking, and some guests found parking to be a challenge, so it's advisable to plan for this in advance.
Consider Room Size
Some guests mentioned that the room size was smaller than expected, so if space is a priority, it's worth confirming the room dimensions before booking.
Manage Expectations
While the hotel offers a budget-friendly stay in a central location, it's important to manage expectations regarding the overall standard of the property and its facilities.
