Acceptable Location, Definite Issues

central locationcold roomdamp bathroom
The location was good. It was central.
The room was quite cold (i swear, there was only a radiator in the bathroom). It reminded me of sleeping in a fridge sometimes, and the beds were just two singles pushed together. The bathroom also smelled quite damp, not ideal.

the room wasn't cleaned properly and i found an used wet towel in the bathroom. the toilet paper was half damp! the spoon had a coffee stain on it and so did the glass.

The hotel is in a great location right in the city center.
My room faced some nearby pubs, so I heard loud music until late. This was really annoying. The room also was not as clean as it could have been, and the bed felt terribly soft and cheap. I don't think it was worth the money I paid.
