ok …. good hotel , good breakfast and fab staff but my room had issues as described above
Pros:

location and the staff are always on point and friendly

Cons:

soo i was grateful to be checked in early and was put on 5th floor in room 527!! All good til i came back later that evening and the constant noise from the neighbouring room was too much. The room has a connecting (locked door) and you could hear everything… my neighbours (guessing room 525 if i recall) were fond of using the hairdryer on many occasions and it was just too much noise.

Always had good and pleasant stays previous here but was not overly happy with this one !!
