Liked: It was cheap.

Disliked: The bed mattress was okay but the triple decker bunk wobbled like a cross channel ferry in high winds. No kitchen. There is a microwave, though.

Liked: The staff was very helpful and friendly. There was a nice atmosphere at the bar downstairs. The bathroom and toilets were always clean.

Disliked: When we arrived we had to ask the staff to turn the radiator on but it took really long until it got warm in our room, probably also because of the thin windowpane. It was so cold the first two nights that we had to wear beanies (!) while sleeping. Furthermore it was really annoying that there were no coathooks at all either in our room or in the bathroom. Once they offered mouldy bread for breakfast.

Liked: Breakfast was amazing! i was a bit unsure after hearing it was £1.50 but they had everything you could have wanted (lunch in London then cost me £8) Im not sure where comments on here come from saying it is dirty because there seemed to be peope cleaning all the time. Scott was very helpfull on reception and helped me plan out the best things to see in the short amount of time i had

Disliked: nothing really, they were painting one of the bathrooms but it looked nearly finished

Liked: Location and the staff.

Disliked: This place is filthy! The bathrooms are dirty and foul. Unless you're lucky enough to use them just after they've been cleaned, the experience is disgusting. The showers are poor, and there is little pressure and tempermental hot water. The rooms are very small, dusty and dingy. There are lockers, but they're so small that only hand luggage fits inside.
