Some reports of noise

Minor shortcomings in rooms
While the rooms here are generally found to be in good shape (especially after the renovation in 2015), guests do mention some minor shortcomings. Several guests found the beds too hard while others mention that some of the microwaves and mini-fridges look a little old.
negative:
Wi-Fi may disappoint
The quality of the Wi-Fi here has been a source of disappointment for some guests. The connection has sometimes proved unstable and when guests have got online, they have often found that sites took an age to load. Several guests have given up and used the Wi-Fi on their phone instead.
