Ideal location
Pros:

Location was ideal. Staff super friendly.

Cons:

Having courtesy ear plugs in the room should have rung alarm bells. Thankfully we were on 2nd floor at back of hotel not directly above the nightclub in the bar or the bars opposite

Pros:

Very good bed, clean bathroom and good shower. Comfy room in general.

Cons:

Even with a room at the backside it’s still very noise from the outside bars. It’s more than a background music, but not too distracting if you’re not a very light sleeper

Fantastic stay. You couldnt be closer to the action if you tried
Pros:

Rooms and staff where great, surprised how many rooms there where. Bar was lovely shower and bathroom fantastic and spacious. I dont think we could have been closer to bars and the sse arena without comprimising on what was a fantastic stay. Beds comfy too :) being picky i wish i could have had a better view and open windows but small comprimise for a great stay

Cons:

Honestly nothing much. I am a bit fussy with fresh air :) so being able to open windows wide is a must a small desk fan could be nice to have :). But not a disaster room still felt cool enough through the night :)

Hotel or torture ?
Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be held at. a CIA black site where they play loud music to stop you from sleeping? Stay at The Foundry and get an idea. It’s opposite a music club that plays ear splitting music into the early hours. A pair of ear plugs is provided which is kind of laughable really. Just do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.

Fine but noisy
Pros:

Nice room. Comfy bed

Cons:

So noisy. I have great ear plugs and they weren’t good enough. The windows need better soundproofing
