I stayed in a room above the bar, which had a great, comfortable bed and a fantastic en suite wet room. However, it did get noisy late into the night due to revelers outside (I could hear the bustling street until around 2 AM).

The room had a charming but scruffy appearance, and the bed was quite worn out, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Renovations on some details would be beneficial.

I enjoyed my stay at Cargo, especially due to the central location and the incredibly comfortable bed. However, the bathroom had some quirks, like sloping shelves that made it hard to store toiletries. Overall, the friendly staff and delicious full English breakfast made for a pleasant experience.

My loft room was cozy, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Though I did have to be cautious about the ceiling height due to a sloped roof, and the bathroom layout could use some improvement.

My room was on the small side, and the overall décor felt a bit tired. I enjoyed the underfloor heating in the en-suite though, which was a nice touch. However, I did notice some areas needed a good clean to remove marks on the paintwork.
