The hotel didn't provide any special instructions for getting in, even though there was a code box, so we had to call and wait for someone to open the door. Once in the room, it was advertised as having an ensuite bathroom, but it did not. I used the common bathroom and was then locked out of the room. I called the person to open it, but they couldn't come and had to fetch the keys from their home. Overall, a bad experience.

i was a bit scared after seeing so many negative reviews but after staying here, it was literally fine!!! you gotta keep in mind this is a huge university town, of COURSE it will be loud! however, we were not terribly disturbed by the noise- it really wasn't bad at all, i didn't get woken up by any noise. the beds were also fine. yes, there was a bit of an odor, but it was not horrible. the room was small, but fine as we were out and about a lot of the time/didn't stay in the room for a lot of the day. yes, it's a shared bathroom but i didn't have any issues with that. it was clean and i never had to wait to use it. i actually do like how there was a full kitchen too, even if it was shared. i didn't encounter anyone else while i stayed even though there were others there. overall, absolutely fine place to stay!!!!

When I got there I couldn't get in, noone was even here, after knocking the door for 10min I rang the number and he was at 1 of his other places, he then talked me through how to get in as there was a key safe on the wall, 1st code he gave me was wrong then once I was in I had to hunt everywhere for my room key. The room was disgusting, dirty cups from previous guests, bin not emptied and im pretty sure the bed hadnt been changed, resulting me in having to lay on my coat on top of the bed. Room also smelt like urine. I wanted to cry and go straight back home

Beware! This is listed as having a bathroom, however, if you read very carefully under amenities, where bathroom is listed as one of them, the fact that it's actually shared is hidden half way down the list right under shampoo! I found this to be really sneaky, especially when it came up in search results for a private bathroom flat. Neither the host nor Expedia cared about this. Said bathroom was freezing cold as the radiator doesn't work and the shower can be set to freezing or scalding, but nothing in between, not at all useable. It's very noisy, both street noise and from upstairs. We were woken up lots of times. The bed is uncomfortable and the room is really small and cramped, barely room to move. The positives: Hard to find any, but the fridge in the shared kitchen was truly the coldest I've ever felt, so great for drinks. That's if you ignore all the expired produce in there - that tub of month old guacamole is bound to explode at some point!

L’hébergement était conforme aux infos disponibles. Étant au rdc, la fenêtre de la chambre était face à la rue et sujette au bruits des passants la nuit.
