Practical Stay in City Center

central location clean bunk secure door lock clean bathroom

The location was really central. It made it easy to get everywhere I wanted. My bunk was comfortable and clean. The secure door lock with its code system felt safe. The bathroom was to be newly installed and very clean.

The noise level late at night was quite high due to the proximity to nearby night clubs. People were shouting and screaming until late, even with the windows closed, it was still audible.

Location

9/10

The hotel is situated right in the city centre, which makes access to various attractions very convenient. St James's Park and the Grainger Market are within easy walking distance, offering different experiences for visitors.

Dining

8/10

There is a Wetherspoons nearby the hotel. The Grainger Market is also close. It provides many food vendors with various cuisines, awesome for different dining choices.

Rooms

9/10

The bunk beds have super clean and cozy bedding. The provided door lock and code system to enter the quadruple room contributes to security. The bathroom had a very clean appearance. It seemed recently installed.

empty dispensers drunk person

There was an issue one night. Someone was hammering on the door and entering the code for 40 minutes, starting at 00:40. This went on until 01:20 in the morning. Staff sorted it, despite the late hour of my call for help (.. ) I suspect a drunk person may have forgotten their door code. Soap, shower gel, and shampoo dispensers were fully empty, so the room was very basic.
