I'm a big fan of the Room Mate chain and it seemed that Laura was a safe bet. It wasn't. We booked their most expensive room, the loft chic, and although it was bright and well appointed we could not sleep at night. The balconies and windows are not sound proofed which means that all sorts of noise fills in the room in the middle of the night. There's the rubbish collectors, the drunks singing, the garage underneath, the cars, the bikes and above all the hourly bells from the convent nearby. I'm not a light sleeper but I had two horrible sleepless nights in there and I had to buy ear plugs on the third. The staff is lovely but too aware of the problem. They showed us a handful of rooms but the only ones which seemed devoid of street noisy were also devoid of natural light (they were on the attic and had only small skylights). The property is nice and the rooms well priced given the location and the facilities. Breakfast was more than satisfactory given the pice. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this hotel as they desperately need to sound proof the property.
