Poor service and loud

The floor made our socks black. We had to wait ages for someone to be able to check us in. So loud, we stayed in a 3 bed room with only one other room above us but the doors slam at every open, meaning each time the room upstairs decided to go out and back in again (which was a lot), it was heard throughout the night.

Worst place for random night out if no physical ID

I had booked a night having stayed a bit late after work in London but was refused to stay as didnt have a passport or driving license, even though i had a digital valid Totum student card and a work photo ID. Who carries their passport or license to work!! As if someone if a driver license is more reliable than other forms of ID.

Have stayed here a few times now, but this was my ‘favourite’ to date. The rooftop terrace was a very welcome surprise and gave me views of the park I would never have seen. The fact the Opera was on at the same time was the icing on the cake! The People working this time were as friendly as ever. Thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone looking for somewhere central that is very budget friendly and clean.
