The location is perfect. But the building needs to TLC. Lots of Amazon boxes and black bags lying around making the place feel dirty. The rooms are ok, the mattress is very comfortable but the pillows are flat and old. The girls bathroom was nice. Didnt get much sleep because of people watching series on their phones without headphones and people taking calls in the middle of the night and snoring. A bit pricey for what it is.

The location is hard to beat! Stayed in a 8-bed dormitory with the usual snorers etc, pretty cold inside but OK bed. Showers and toilet pretty grubby, still quite OK if you're only looking for a place to crash. No elevators so heavy bags will have to be lugged up the stairs.

You get what you pay for. HONEST REVIEW: PROS-extremely affordable. 24h front desk. Nice open social spaces with games, full kitchen, laundry option, fridge space, linens provided, converters and locks for purchase. Middle of DT, everything walkable. People to chat with! CONS- second hardest bed I've ever slept on, second only to the actual ground. Mattresses and pillows are very old, single pane windows and inadequate heat made me sleep fully clothed under two blankets. Single pane windows mean condensation and inadequate ventilation, which led to the black mold in room corners and bathrooms (previously painted over but growing through). Showers and toilets need maintenance as they run or overflow. If you've got £35 and need sleep, this works. But your back won't thank you in the morning.
