The convenience of location, affordability of a safe, comfortable room, and being so close to Hyde Park and other great locations, with a walkable distance to Paddington Station. I would definitely do this again and have a longer stay/ layover in London.

Location, Location, Location. Close to Hyde Park which is what we were there for, but it is no frills and IS student accommodation. So in essence super cheap for its location but super expensive for a student dorm with no aircon.

Check in only possible at exactly 3pm (pre check in is possible but this is just form filling). Reception area very hot when busy. Staff very helpful; suitcases can be left fairly securely. Room basic, as expected for price. Coffee, tea, milk and kettle provided as well as two bottles of water. Lift wasn’t working but just walked through to next block and used that one.

The double bed was small. The staff very friendly and helpsome. It was really hot and the small fan in the room only helped a little. The firealarm went on during the night and we had to evacuate. No information were provided but guest just went inside again when the alarm stopped. Would have been nice with staff at the emergency assembly area.
