I didn’t think to choose non smoking because I didn’t think any shared accommodation allowed it anymore. The floors were sticky, it wreaked, there was tar on almost every surface. It was a bit more run down than it looked on pics. Some of the kitchen utensils were old and scratched up. The service was friendly though and the building easy to access.

No daily servicing, cleanliness not to the standard expected for the review - bathrooms were very dirty / mouldy. Given the review we expected the facility to be in better condiction, walls had alot of damage, rooftop floor was not open, receptoin only manned Mon-Fri during work hours.

Comfort at a price - since we last stayed, they have implemented a car parking charge probably to pay for the cost of the new door locks that the receptionist took pains to tell us had been out in recently, We were even told that although the tea and coffee were complimentary, we would t be able to get any more ! Should have been wonderful quality for that but only mediocre. Good standard of cleanliness except for the rusty very very small pedal bins to service the room - they obviously only have us enough teabags so that we didn’t overflow the bins!!
