Disappointing.
Pros:

Staff friendly and a couple of them very engaging and helpful. The location good, the sheets and bedding clean. Good location.

Cons:

I booked this accommodation because I was working away from home for two weeks and needed somewhere clean, quiet and comfortable to rest after 13-hour shifts. Unfortunately, this property was completely unsuitable for that purpose.

The biggest issue was the noise. I understand that staying above a pub means there will be some noise, but this was on another level. It genuinely felt as though I was inside the bar. During football matches the room vibrated with the volume of the music and customers, making it extremely difficult to sleep. I have stayed in many pubs in busy city centres before and have never experienced anything like this.

For the first four nights I stayed in my originally booked room on the first floor. During that time, I had no reliable hot water in either shared bathroom. Even when I was the first person to shower, the water was often freezing.

When I eventually moved rooms, the noise was still an issue. The property also failed to inform me that I needed to change rooms, despite the fact that I had made two separate reservations and had asked twice whether I would need to move. Once I was moved, the room itself was nicer and one of the bathrooms finally had reliable hot water. However, this appeared to be the only working bathroom available for all of the guest rooms, which I estimate served more than nine rooms.

I had also been offered another room on the upper floor, but the bedside lamp and extractor fan were not working, and it contained two single beds rather than the double room I had booked, so it was not a suitable alternative.

The shared bathrooms were poorly maintained throughout my stay. The floors were frequently wet, there was visible pink mould between the tiles, and the shower drains regularly backed up, bringing dirty brown water and debris onto the shower floor. Combined with the unreliable hot water, this made using the facilities unpleasant and unhygienic.

If you’re visiting for a night out or a gig this place may suit.

Convenient for a night out
Pros:

It was convenient not to go back home in an Uber, which at the time the match ended would have cost more than the stay. It was noisy at first, as you could expect in a World Cup final, but the window could be opened and I had a fan.

Cons:

The bed was too soft for my back, and there was no latch to lock the door from the inside. When staying alone, I prefer to have a latch, but this door only had the key. You could obviously lock it, but if there was another key, there was not latch inside.

Amazing stay. Great staff and a very comfy bed. The shower was excellent too.
Pros:

Amazing comfy bed and lovely staff. Plus a fan in the room.

Cons:

Could have been more plug sockets in the room but that's just nit picking really on my part.

The hotel is in a good location just a few issues and safety a real worry
Pros:

The room was fine and bed comfortable, shared bathroom was clean

Cons:

The access door to the rooms was left open all night in a busy pub. This is really unsafe as anyone could go upstairs.

The tv didn’t work which was not helpful for the England game, staff apologised for this but no one tried to fix it

Overall really good stay, for location mainly. Clean room, essential.
Cons:

A bit noisy but for obvious reasons. There were fans due to extreme heat, but a bit dirty. Couldn't figure out what 2nd remote for tv was for, would have liked some bbc channels.

Beklentilerimin altındaydı.
Pros:

merkezi bir yerde olması iyiydi.

Cons:

Otelde zaman geçirecek ortak mekanlar dışardan gelen müşterilere de açık olduğu için dinlenmek mümkün değildi.
Personeli bir-iki kez görebildim.
Odalar çok küçük. Elektrik prizi ve okuma lambası yataktan çok uzak. Pencere doğraması eskimiş. Havalandırma sineklik olmayan pencere camı açılarak yapılıyor.
Yatak deforme olmuş. Zemin döşemesi çok ses çıkarıyor.

it’s ok if you need somewhere fast and ur only staying in there a couple hours
Pros:

comfy clean beds, triple rooms available

Cons:

when we got there, they gave us the wrong room key and i ended up walking in on people and that made us anxious about our stay just incase someone could get in our room. didnt expect communal toilets which normally isn’t an issue until it’s very unhygienic and dirty.

Not for everyone
Pros:

The location is amazing, right in the middle of pubs and places to eat and live music. Even being above a pub was pretty fun. It was a unique experience. The staff were lovely and accommodating.

Cons:

It is incredibly rundown and didn’t feel very clean. Also, the room was situated in such a way that the pillows fell behind the bed and one couldn’t really use the clothes hanging space because it was above the electric kettle. The window shade did nothing to block the light from the street lights directly outside. Also, the closet where linens are kept was pretty dank.

Pros:

Staff was extremely nice and went out of their way to help me. Bed was comfortable and there was a fan in the room. Despite being above a pub (even while England was playing in the World cup) I just put on ear plugs and slept like a baby :) Would come here again

Cons:

The room could use curtains on top of the blinds as my room was directly next to a street light and the blinds weren't enough to block it out.
