poor soundproofingnoise level
Soundproofing was poor. I could hear music and talking from the bar until late. in the room above me were very noisy after midnight, so I didn't sleep well. These noises disrupted any chance of a peaceful night. I found the noise level quite bothersome, and made sleep difficult.
