They need to install some proper curtains that actually block the light from the extremely well lit carpark behind the hotel.

our room had character and was comfortable for a one night stay. Sadly, there was noise at night from outside on the street, disturbing our sleep and despite adequate lighting, it felt dark, however the reception staff was very friendly and welcoming

The lack of fresh air in the rooms at night was the only small issue I had. Not really a complaint as probably not a lot can be done regarding this as the structure of the building restricts anything. Intriguing decor and a pleasure to stay there.
