Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Relatively convenient location and decent cleanliness. But its floor makes a lot of noise when someone walks by. And there's always someone walking by even at 2pm. So it's almost impossible to sleep.
the place is nicely located, minutes walk from Westend restaurants and shops.
The private room was very cleaned though had a bar fridge in the room that made a rattling soon all night!
also, the other residents were very loud at night till 1 am, they appeared drunk though alcohol is not supposed to be allowed on-premises.
so beware who else is staying there at the time, if you want a restful night.
I needed an early night as had an early start but did not get much sleep due to the fridge, other residents as well as a loud drilling sound around midnight!!
