Good place, be wary of soundproofing & no car park

Wasn’t made aware that you don’t have to pay for street parking outside before the stay, unsure if this was missed on the listing or not. Overnight, me and my friend heard loud noises coming from our window on the ground floor, although there was a courtyard below the window. Told reception about it and found there was a ladder leading up to the windows so asked for this to removed. Around 6am sounded as if someone was trying our door for a few seconds, could’ve been a mistake but ultimately made the stay uncomfortable for us due to the noises waking us up. The soundproofing of the door and for the room above and possibly below was not good either. Very good location, modern style, everything worked as should and beds were comfortable, just unfortunate that we had a bad experience, which I’m sure on another night may not have happened.

For the price we paid excellent place, close to the westend for visiting son at uni. Room was clean and well equipped. Cons - bed too small and uncomfortable, also parking is an issue. The car park the hotel mention (Ashton road) is not actually free. Drove to Kirklee road through Botanical gardens which is 10 min walk away
