Ryan Spanswick

16 February 2010 Ryan would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, just 2 mins from Kings Cross. Nice communal area outside to meet people and eat. Staff are really nice and we got a discount when we arrived as we were staying 7 nights. Only problems were the noise..our room backed onto the street and we were woken up by street cleaners/bin trucks every morning!

Disliked: Ryan left no negative feedback.

23 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed in a double room which was clean, spacious and had an en-suite bathroom and TV. The only negative point was that the room was by the courtyard therefore was noisy but that didn't matter as the room itself was comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: The central courtyard for gathering and eating was good, and there were enough computer terminals that access was not usually a problem. The TV room was good too. The security measures in place would have been good but were not enforced.
