basic stay with issues

small room disruptive noise
the room was quite small , and finding space for luggage was a struggle. i found it difficult to regulate the room temperature , and it remained too warm throughout my stay. The noise from the street below was also disruptive , impeding sleep.

helpful staff convenient location live music small room noisy area closed restaurant
I found the staff helpful. the stairs led directly from my room to the pub. live music played on saturday, allowing me to eat and drink without leaving. the location was also convenient. The guinness storehouse is about 15 minutes away.
the room was quite small. i noticed traffic and trams running early until late outside. the restaurant was not open , so i had to go across the street for breakfast. it was only a short walk, but inconvenient.
