soft bed noisy pub

The bed was way too soft, and it made so much noise anytime i moved. It really bothered me. the bathroom situation wasn't great either. I had to share it with too many people, and it wasn't very clean. they didn't even bother to refill the milk or tea. I had to ask for it. it also got pretty noisy because of the pub downstairs.
