Cheap but basic

This is student accommodation. It's like half way between a hostel and a hotel. The room had a bit of a smell, the mattress was lumpy, everything was about functionality rather than 'being nice'. The place was clean enough and cheaper than hotels. If you want to save money, and are OK with the basics, it's fine. It's noisy. I recommend ear plugs for sleeping, which are free at reception.

Functional & Comfortable

If you are looking for a basic, easy place to stay, within walking distance to everything, this place ticks the boxes. The amenities are very basic however it was helpful to have a washing machine. Bed was okay, definitely not as bad as some reviews I have read on here but two adults sharing would be a stretch. Overall pleasant stay, staff are excellent and helpful.

The staff are very friendly and I cannot fault them. Bur stay away if plan on getting any sleep, would have been quieter if we had slept in the car. I thought it was weird when they offered ear plugs at the reception for free, after spending the night over I understand why..

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Upon arrival, we were given a filthy room (unacceptable at any price). The staff moved us to another room, but it was like sleeping in a cardboard box—zero soundproofing, constant noise (slamming doors, loud guests), and no sleep at all. No apology or compensation could make up for the lack of basic cleanliness, poor room quality, and terrible sleep. Save yourself the stress and book elsewhere.

Was walkable location for the fringe and was the cheapest for accommodation in August for the city. The pillows are non-existent. Marks on duvet. Dirty bathroom. Brick for a bed. 3/4 bed was fine for us but we are small, larger people may struggle.

Disliked: Amenities
This is an economy option. There are no frills. Zero. don't even think about frills. It's a dorm - which is exactly how it is advertised. It is inexpensive for the market. You buy cheap, you get cheap. As long as you're ok with that - you'll be in a great location in a completely functional accommodation - just don't expect more than functional.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Poor level of cleanliness

Grubby and poorly maintained accommodation, walls and furniture were surface cleaned (wiped over with a spray and a cloth) but not properly cleaned, with evidence of heavy use over time e.g. finger marks, scuffing, grease etc which could easily be cleaned with the correct cleaning materials. There were no mattress or pillow protectors under the bed linen, which I would expect to be standard, in particular at this price point. Communal areas, especially bathroom and toilet areas, were not cleaned daily; every 2 days at best, which for an area with up to 8 different people using is concerning and unhygienic. There was no provision of a bathmat, or a mop to use to protect and clean the wet bathroom floors.

Pleasantly surprised…..!

Pleasantly surprised by this room - very clean and modern. Staff really nice and friendly. A bit of a pain to share a bathroom to be honest but thats a small price to pay given the cost of the room! Close to the centre and east to walk to and from where you need to go in town. If we go back I would definitely stay here again!

Great Price, You get what you pay for

Excellent rates during a busy period however that saying you get what you pay for is perhaps true in my experience. Each Flat consists of 4 rooms which are spacious, clean and lots of storage available. The additional use of a kitchen and dining area is a real bonus, a shared shower and toilet was available but bring your own hand soap as none was provided during a pandemic. The walls are pretty thin so don't expect to much privacy and what you have to bear in mind is this is student accommodation not being used during the holidays so each room door is a fire door. They close hard and secure so you may hear them close and open or worse bang all day long.
