I had stayed here before, but at the rear of the house. The only issue was as the room was on the ground floor opening the window was a security issue as there was some sort of parking area directly behind Blok-74 & the sash windows have no security fittings & can be opened fully.
The second most recent visit was awful. Room 9 is on the 3rd floor at the front of the house. It is in poor decorative order especially in the bathroom where paint is peeling from the ceiling & there is a huge crack running down the wall behind the toilet. I stupidly replied to a text from the remote staff that the room was OK as we had just popped in before bringing our luggage in. This proved to be difficult as the stairs are narrow and steep & the landings small. The ground floor bannister is also broken & for some reason has a j-cloth taped around it.
I then noticed the ear plugs & alarm bells started to ring, excuse the pun. It turned out that from around 10pm to 3am there is a seedy jazz club & hotel across the road that plays music loudly & the customers shout & scream over it. In addition other guests are noisy & those above us decided to crash about until the left at around 4am, bouncing their luggage down every step and around each wall.
The area around Blok-74 attracts people who abandon cars on the pavement & as it is very close to The Lanes lots of drunks stagger up & down it, casually throwing up & leaving all sorts of rubbish all over the place.
I will not be returning.
