some issues affected my stay

small roomstreet noise
the room size felt quite small for the price i paid (it was over £150). maneuvering around the bed was a bit of a squeeze. it also got very hot and stuffy. i had to open the windows even though it was march, and that let in a lot of noise from the nearby clubs and pubs.
