central locationwell appointed kitcheneffective radiatorsunloading problemunfriendly staffterminal noise
This accommodation offered a central location, convenient for city exploration. The kitchen included fresh semi-skimmed milk, a welcome touch. Wall mounted thermostat controlled heating and combi-boiler worked very well. The radiators heated the place effectively.
The hotel lacked an unloading bay so it was difficult when I arrived with luggage. The check in girl was unfriendly and allocated me a room in the bowels of the hotel. The room backed onto the main train terminal. I could hear announcements from 6am.

the location was acceptable near the airport link.
the apartment lacked proper soundproofing. street noise was constant, and i found sleep difficult. furthermore, the room contained an inconvenient structural column, disrupting the seating arrangement.

the location was quite central. it was easy to get around from there.
I wasn't happy with the noise level. It sounded like i was right next to a train station or a busy street. the lack of soundproofing was a problem. also, the air conditioning wasn't working properly. The room was quite stuffy. the staff didn't seem to care much when i mentioned it. i expected better for the price i paid.

the apartment was huge, with a large tv and dining room. the kitchen allowed us to eat in for a few days. marks and spencer was within easy walking distance. the washing machine in the heating cupboard was a welcome advantage.
one bedroom door wasn't closing at all. toilets are old with very small basins that are not practical. one toilet had a fixed shower head only. windows have blinds that are far from the window, so the room stayed bright at night.
