Solo stay

Possibly one of the most vile and poorly maintained places I have ever stayed. The toilets were awful and as for the rooms themselves I felt very unsafe for instance at least on a couple of occasions other guests would try and look through belongings that did not belong to them. The staff on reception were extremely rude and standoffish too not really taking any of the concerns seriously. My advice - avoid at all costs!

Stayed with family · For friends and family

It does what it says on the tin, basic but fine, rooms were hot during the heatwave and the men's showers on the 2nd floor we closed for maintenance. Would benefit from a chair in the changing rooms, and somewhere to hand/put your towel etc to stay dry whilst you're in the shower.

Stayed with family

Considering price, excellent. Stayed over for the Eurostar next morning Booked twin room (bunk beds) with middle aged Mum Not ensuite, but shower room down the hall, toilets were opposite room. Lift all working if tight. They supplied towels in the twin room and fans as was very warm If on top bunk in summer suggest taking hand held fan They had restaurant and 24/7 entertainment/bar downstairs and people were up watching the World Cup. Must have had very good sound proofing as didn't hear anything

2/5 The location was convenient, but our stay was unpleasant. The room was very small and became extremely hot during the warm weather (around 28°C). There was no air conditioning, and no fan was offered, which made it difficult to rest and sleep comfortably. If you’re staying in summer, be prepared for very warm rooms.

Staff unhelpful and didn’t give much advice about room etc massively inflated prices for vending machines extortionate prices for a more private room and very noisy at almost 1 am when checking in also the whole building smelled of weed.
