Clean room was best feature. Walking up three flights of stairs (no lift) was not. Requested double bed, got two singles. Tiny, dated room. Location near Haymarket station was a plus. All in all, not a great value for money.

The room itself was comfy. Bed was comfortable and bedding great! A few cobwebs and we noticed a couple of spiders as checking out. The bathroom was not great. The toilet roll holder was broken, so trying to get any toilet paper meant that it fell off. The towels were ripping as we used them, and the shower hose was covered in grime and grease. The water pressure in the shower was also very low, and quite hard to change the temperature of the shower. Overall, it is fine if you need a cheap one night stay, but it would be better to find something else.

We love the location a beautiful facility. Our the learning was comfy as well. The only issue I had was around 11:30 PM and we had got there and it was a little stuffy in our room so I called and requested a possible fan and I told them I would come and get it and they said staff is no longer working so other than that it was a great day so it’s pretty good but I do wish there was a little more accommodating for something as simple as a fan
