Some rooms noisier than others.
Guests whose rooms were located close to the bar area said that they were disturbed by loud music and noise especially at the weekends when there are live bands playing. If you are a light sleeper it's advisable to ask for a room away from the bar.

Plumbing issues.
Guests reported several plumbing issues including very low water pressure which made showering rather cumbersome as well as not being able to adjust the temperature of the water as it often seemed to run hot and cold intermittently.
