Central location. Big room but very hot and as in basement window didn’t open much. No shared kitchen which would have been useful as a large family.

My daughter and I were there for one night and enjoyed our stay. We loved that the checkout was at 11am and were able to keep our luggage for storage for 3 pounds per bag. The staff was nice and the bed was comfortable.

(First the check in time was 3pm, so i had to wait 6 hours before I was able to get into my room.) This property is good for 2-4 nights. When i arrived they had staff cleaning and in fairness the cleaner was doing good job. The place is not far from Queen Station but it's surrounded by roads that go up and down hills lol. You also have to pay £6 for a towel to dry yourself if towels are needed, but the bed was cosy enough to sleep in. Each bed has curtain which you can pull to provide more privacy. In general not a bad place but it be far between if check in time was before 3pm. Supermarkets close by and you can return to your room anytime through the night if you out at night. 😊
This is a 4 bed dormitory. There's lockers to use but you need your own padlock or you can buy one at reception.

Beds are comfortable, rooms are on the small side. The bathroom was a bit moldy. Since it’s a hostel it was pretty noisy in the hallways (mostly quiet after 10) and we did have a few people come knocking down the hall doors late at night. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Ovo arena visit

3 night stay to attend a concert at the Ovo arena. Great location for this, arena was within a 10-15 min walking distance. Great location also for the city centre and restaurants. Hotel was clean, staff were very friendly and helpful with info about the area. The room was basic, clean, bright and recently decorated. The bed was clean and reasonably comfy.

Worst place ive ever stayed

Firstly its advertised as a hotel, its not its a hostel. The rooms were filthy, covered in feaces, the windows didnt lock, there mould all over the bathroom, there was vomit stains on the floors, there was a huge hole in the roof, i could go on but im sure you get the drift. We ended up leaving after 2 hours as we were worried for the safety of our children, would not recommend this place to anyone, needs to be closed down.
