  Drafty small room

  Liked: Great location

  Disliked: The room was the size of a wardrobe. If I held out my two arms out stretched I could reach each side of the room. There was no double glazing on the windows so you could hear the traffic very loud all throughout the night and the door was rattling with the draft. The heating was on full blast though, I'd say it's costing a fortune for them because they need to upgrade the windows to keep the heat in.
