24-hour front desk hot water easy check-in

The location was very convenient. I found many good cafes and restaurants nearby. The front desk operates 24 hours. Check-in was easy. The shower had hot water and shampoo was available.

The noisy bins in the back woke me up early in the morning.

convenient stay

perfect location public transport vibrant area

this inn has a perfect location for young travelers. public transport is easily accessible, and the area is very vibrant. the 24-hour reception is convenient. i found a sainsbury's and a tesco nearby. some decent pubs.

The hallways needed some upkeep. It was a very minor issue though.

small room stained carpet

The location was acceptable, with easy access to transport links. The staff members were helpful.

The room felt small, barely enough space to move around (i think a cat would struggle!). The bathroom was very dated. The shower door was broken. the carpet had stains.
