convenient location clear instructions poor soundproofing unchanged bathmat

The room had clean sheets and towels. The TV worked well (I watched a movie). I appreciated the clear instructions for check-in. There was also a Tesco Express right next door, convenient.

The room was not soundproof. I could hear guests next door. The bathmat was not changed during my entire stay. I noticed a hair stuck to the shower wall all week (a minor issue, but still noticeable).
