Expensive and disappointing
Bathroom and bed clean but room not vacuumed and stains on carpet, curtains didn’t close across the windows. No lift so I had to walk up four floors (8 flights of steps) and then without any signage I had to find my way across a roof terrace to get to my room - no help or directions provided. No telephone in the room. Breakfast poor as no gluten free toast, cereal or porridge. Everything charged individually for example £1.50 for a few mushrooms! Room large and got warm when I put radiators on. Bed was comfortable but too small if there had been two of us. Very expensive - really not a hotel experience

Not Goodenough
The booking as advertised looked great - nice, older student type lodging, so we expected the room to be spare, but clean. None of the above. The room was in the basement of the college, and my wife joked when they told us about the stairs that they're probably keeping us like Harry Potter when he was at the Dursleys. It literally was right at the bottom and was entered by a door that appeared to be a service closet. The space was large - two bedrooms (which was very handy as circumstances will show) and came with a bathroom, living room and kitchen. The main bedroom was from the first moment clearly mouldy. A local college was forced to remediate a whole wing of their student housing because of this very issue because of the potential health problems it raises. We were therefore forced to close that room off and use the second room which only had a bed designed for one person. We were therefore forced to squeeze in to a bed and hope that neither of us fell out. The living room had a chair, but no sofa, and so that wasn't an option. The bathroom was great, until we discovered there was a plumbing issue with the sink. It basically leaked all of the draining water into the cupboard below and seeped onto the floor. It was also coming away from the wall. We did talk to reception and their response was "sorry". It was already late in the evening and we had two options: stay or find another place. We reluctantly stayed.

Basic economical accommodation in good location
I stayed for two nights. It was fine, but I'd mistakenly expected a kettle in the room and a TV - my fault for not checking the details properly. I couldn't even find a fork to eat the food I'd bought at the supermarket. So it is very basic. The room was big though. Loads of cupboard space if you come with luggage and even a fridge. Big comfy bed and towels also provided. The shared bathroom was extremely clean, no complaints at all, but there were some impressive cobwebs in the curtains, which I therefore didn't dare close!

Conveniently located student-hall rooms that formed a safe, secure, welcoming base for my visit to London. Trains are easily walkable from here to link you with the rest of everything that London has to offer. Room was immaculately presented - would have been nice to have extra towels, but definitely not a problem for the price! Fridge was roomy enough to store plenty of food - and an electric kettle and toaster are available in the buttery (kitchen) down the hall. Super friendly and helpful staff are on the front desk 24hrs. Will stay again next year. ☺️
