Windowless

If you have rooms with no windows (and 30cm of glass bricks doesnt count as a window) then you should declare that in the listing. An industrial hum through the wall all night and the circulation of a windowless box. At a low price it would be fine, but i paid plenty more and that's comical. I mentioned it to staff who said it was listed as "no view" lol

Funky and full of character. No cooking facilities in the terrace suites, just be aware. Worth the experience. Lovely staff who go the extra mile. Great location.
