The property managers were helpful and professional but they couldn't solve the heat or the noise.
First of all, there is no elevator. Second of all, the only ventilation for the public areas (stairwell and hallways) are two small windows on the landing. The hallway to our room was accessed via tight closing fire doors and there was no ventilation whatsoever in the hallway. The only ventilation in the room was a single open window to the street. With the hotel room door necessarily closed all night, no cool breeze could enter and the room was stifling hot, We were on the second floor over a restaurant/pub and the building was next door with some kind of night club.
We had a three night reservation for my husband, myself and my adult daughter. We were kept awake by the racket. Closing the window was not an option because of the heat. From now on I will always check to see that the place I reserve has air conditioning. My husband actually went out and purchased a fan which improved our comfort but not the noise from outside.
Even though we paid extra for three beds, we only got towel for two people.
For the price of a one night stay for one person this establishment could provide electric fans for every room, but it seems that the owners are counting on continuous supply of unwary customers like us. Having to pay before stay is definitely a disadvantage as there is no recourse for unsatisfactory results.
