It has a very friendly atmosphere and the outdoor areas make it very easy to get talking to people. The bathrooms are plentiful and pretty clean. Staff are excellent at making you feel welcome.

The appeal from the Street. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice easy location when getting about on the trains or on foot. Plenty of happy people. I am just a bit old to enjoy the share room thing.
