Um hotel muito pequenino que fica sobre um pub, claramente foi uma hospedaria há 500 anos, mas os quartos históricos tem todas as comodidades. Pessoal atencioso, especialmente Mira. Amamos

Funky Monk -DO NOT STAY HERE!,

2.0

I arrived at the Funky Monk at 4.45pm and the manager was very pleasant and told me that they had some live music that night. I jokingly said I hoped they provided earplugs. Having had a night out with friends I arrived back at the hotel around 11.30pm to be greeted by music so loud that I could hear it on the street. When I got to my room the floor was vibrating with the noise and it was like there was the band were sharing my room. I put earplugs in and a pillow over my ears to try and deaden the sound but it had no effect. I looked at their website which says they do have live music that ends at 12, it said nothing about the decibels they allow. They had give me a number to ring out of hours but no one answered or got back to me. At 12.15am I went downstairs and they said they could continue until 12.30 - however it continued until12.55am. If they want to be a hotel they need to soundproof the rooms. What most people want when they book a hotel is to be able to sleep - this was impossible in the Funky Monk. If you also want this then DO NOT stay in this hotel. These are not cheap rooms, money has been spent on the decor rather than making it a place were you can actually sleep. I shall never stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone else. There was no gas for breakfast on Monday morning!!

Took a while to check in. Took even longer to check out. Everywhere in the area closes very early and the only option if you’ve not preplanned
