The Alma Tavern offers lot of good things: great location (and the Everyman cinema within easy walking distance); good food in the Tavern itself; wonderful little theatre where I enjoyed a production; lovely large room with coffee/tea making facilities and breakfast bar just outside. The main reason for the 3 star rating is that during my 5 night stay, it became evident that the walls are not so well insulated as to block out the extraordinary snoring that came from a neighbouring room and disturbed my sleep for four nights. I am returning to the Tavern for a second stay in a few weeks and hope that my neighbours will be quieter.
