The toilet kept running all night, then ran out of water in the middle of a shower. Texted the property owner, who failed to respond. The staff at the coffee shop below was very nice, and they tried to help, but they did not get a response from the property owner either.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is above their cafe and my room 5 was directly above the ventilation fans - so you hear them loudly throughout your stay (no mention when booking of “bring earplugs”) Despite being mid December, the radiator in my room was not producing heat - perhaps the staff wear outdoor coats when ‘preparing’ the room. The bathroom taps produce only cold water. The shower could provide warm water (hurrah) but this steamed up the bathroom as it doesnt have an extractor fan - you cannot open the window as its broken … There is no way that this room is acceptable to be rented out, and to charge as much as they do is disgusting
