2/10 Poor

Noisy, no sleep here
The amount of noise coming from inside this hoste was shocking, with voices from the managers own bedroom, which was right the through the night until after 4, wit constant coughing fits coming from the same room. Not sure what they were smoking? The rest of stay was ok, clean enough and great location.
