This is not a basement room in a hotel. It is a basement room of a hotel which you have to access by leaving the hotel through the front door and entering via steps from the street down to the basement entrance. You then enter the property which is under the pavement and the main road which the hotel sits on. To get to the toilet / shower you have to leave the room, go into the tiny courtyard, up the stairs to the street and walk along to the hotel front door where you have to go in, up to the second floor via stairs and use the loo / shower room. The door on the actual room is a hotel room door where there should be an exterior door so it is incredibly noisy. When I got into the room it was noisy I thought the tiny window was wide open. It wasn't. The noise is because there is about a three millimetre gap around the door frame which makes it very cold and noisy. People walking above you on the pavement sounds and feels like they are banging on your door and every time a car or truck go over the road above you it feels like the ceiling is going to cave in. If you stay here so for one night, stuff as many war plugs in your ears otherwise you will be awake all night.
