Solid Stay Near the Ovo Hydro

clean roomfriendly staffpizza orderlukewarm water
Room was clean. Three people stayed there. We had a double bed and a single bunk above. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Shower room was cold and the water only got lukewarm. Toilet was high up so awkward to sit on. There were zero sound proofing in the rooms so I could hear drunk people.

the staff were pleasant. free tea and coffee were available at reception. the location is quite convenient, especially with a burger king and costa nearby (i do appreciate a good coffee shop).
the hallway had a noticeable bad smell. the window in my room only opened a tiny bit, which wasn't ideal. also, the hotel is above a multi-story car park.

the room was a decent size and clean with a separate shower. i liked that tea, coffee, and vending machines were in reception. breakfast was available (especially convenient!). free parking was fantastic and a bus stop was very close.
There was no kettle in the room, nor an option to have one. there was no proper bathroom. The toilet was in a separate, small room. also, there was no wardrobe, just a hanger for jackets (rather inconvenient).
