"A great place to stay. Busy and comfortable. Free coffee and free laundry a real bonus. The eponymic ‘patio’ is full of smokers who make everywhere else smell of smoke when the windows are open as it’s so central. They should be banned from the Earth not just the property."

"So noisy!!!!!! It’s over a massive road and you just hear honking and traffic all night and all day. Rooms are ok look like uni accommodation but clean enough. Don’t stay here if you want quiet, it’s impossible to sleep. The noise is so bad. Shame as the view was good but not worth the noise"
