Noise spoils getting a decent sleep

The hotel is a great location for the theatre and light rail. You have to buzz to enter the hotel on arrival and if no one is on reception you can be left standing outside for a while like we were. The room was compact, the beds were comfy and the bathroom lovely. However, on returning to our hotel after the show we had the thumping noise of music until 3am in the morning that did not provide us with a good nights sleep. The rooms are advertised as sound proof but they are not. The area around the hotel is very busy into the early hours. We stayed on a Saturday night so not sure if this is the case on other nights.

This hotel must have been self rated. Cramped, basic with absence of even face tissues in bathroom! Four star it ain’t. All done by a card at entry. No human contact apart from hello and farewell! Very handy for electric rail but a lot of unfortunate rough sleepers. Great for Capitol theatre! If you want cramped, almost contactless this is the place for you!

I like that the reception is 24/ 7 and Alex was very friendly. the only thing that I believe could improve is the housekeeping (could be understaffed).
