Disliked: Staff & service
Very affordable, prefect location, and comfortable.
Upgrade bed.
This place was very clean just the facilities were damaged and mold on the cieling in the bathrooms.
Staff were very helpful and gave it a great experience.
Wasn’t to bad. Bed was really uncomfortable, like all springs. Pillows were very flat. Place was clean and tidy. No atmosphere really. Walls were very thin so you could hear the conversations in the next room. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Elevator to the 19th floor was a bit crunchy lol. There wasn’t much a round the area. We ended up ubering everywhere as it seems to be down a hill in a no exit. It was fine, a roof over my head for the night. Can’t complain.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were quite rude and unfriendly, bad experience dealing with them. Rooms were average with lots of paint work needing fixing up. Beds were very creaky. Definitely only good for a very short stay.
Photos of building in website looks stunning but when you see it it is far from the photos. Paint in hallways/rooms coming off. Basically run down. Also no parking and we had to park somewhere and walk..
The property doesn’t pretend to be what it isn’t, which I can respect. But the very dated furnishings and extremely poor internet (which is additional) needs to be addressed.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We did like the fact that it catered for 6 beds.
Didn't like the fact that one of the TV's didn't work, and 920 didn't have a tv and 921 had 2 in one bedroom. There wasn't crockery or cutlery for everyone. And the no carpark situation was a nightmare and costly.

Photos of building in website looks stunning but when you see it it is far from the photos. Paintings in hallways coming off, cupboards are broken, bed sheet we found blood stain on it.. Chair is broken.. Carpet is just placed on top of the old carpet which is poorly cut on the edges.. Not sure we are going back there.. Also no parking and we had to park somewhere and walk..
