Perfect for just one night in town. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly at check in.

Very convenient location right near Albert Hall, ideal for our Proms visit. Staff everywhere were helpful and friendly. Room was clean and functional with excellent wifi, though a bit small for a double and had only 1 chair - that was ok for our 1 night but perhaps not so good for a longer stay. Buffet breakfast was good value, with plenty of food and lots of choice. It was a pity we arrived at the refectory just as a school group was going through so self-service was a bit slow and chaotic, but you could go back to get what you missed when the queue subsided. We ended up sharing a table with three delightful young Chinese girls keen to chat, an enjoyable bonus.

Be aware: this is not a “hotel” in the traditional sense—it is a college dorm room. If you know that going in, you can set your expectations accordingly. The room was extremely small, with limited storage, no mini fridge, and no AC. There were also no outlets in the bathroom for a hair dryer, curling iron, etc. The bed was hard and, at best, comparable to a full-size and was pushed against the wall. For two adults, one person had to climb over the other or crawl down the foot of the bed to get out. The £15 breakfast is served in a student cafeteria a walk away. I found the food unusual: pancakes and waffles were served chilled, while eggs, meat, juice, and milk were room temperature. One morning, we missed breakfast entirely because a fire drill required everyone to evacuate. There are some useful amenities: parking is £15 for 12 hours, there is a basement laundry, a nearby campus store sells laundry pods, and there is a water purifier in the lobby. The biggest issue was noise. Since this is student accommodation, students were outside loudly partying until around 3 a.m. every night. After long days of sightseeing, getting enough sleep was difficult. Overall, this may work for budget travelers or those looking for basic accommodation, but if you're expecting a comfortable, quiet hotel experience, this probably isn't the place for you.

Everything was good apart from the mattress. It was damaged and a spring was bulging out of the side. I slept badly and woke with a stiff back. What disappointed me most was that it would have been impossible to change the sheets on that bed without noticing the damage. I only realised when I went to bed at midnight.

The room had all the amenities of a regular hotel. It was clean, well- lit & comfortably furnished. Toiletries, coffee & tea, plus bottled water were complimentary. More than adequate storage space for a single traveller. Excellent transport connections within a five minutes walk. I have stayed in a number of university properties and this one still tops the list for facilities, location and value for money.

the location was excellent. However, the room had a mild bad smell. More significantly the sink was very slow draining. We had to empty it out with glasses and pour them into the toilet and shower. I reported it when checking out.

There is a fair bit of noise from folks gathering at the pavillions in the south-east corner of the green during the evenings (and nights). It would be good to signpost : Vacate premises after 11 pm (or such).

This was a stay of many records. Primarily, it was the shortest recorded stay I've had of any hotel room- 5 minutes. 5 minutes was what took to go up to my room, assess how bad the situation was, and then book another hotel. This 'hotel' was misleading with it's images and descriptions. I have personally seen better hostels and hole in the walls. The bathroom, in particular, took inspiration from the old asylums and mental institutions with regards to both health and cleanliness. It is comforting in a way to see that there are less clean places than the London Underground. I can go into further detail but I will simply summarize by saying that as a man in his mid 20's traveling abroad, I do not ask for much and I am quite cost conscious. This 'hotel' caused me to book an entirely new room elsewhere at full cost... and I have no regrets. Other than booking this place, of course

It was excellent location, great breakfast and more storage space than other hotel rooms. There was a curtain missing which I'm sure is on the list to replace but the sun woke me up a little early as it was missing :-)

Room was clean and the reception staff were helpful. I love that they offer to store your luggage in the case you arrive early. To make it known it seems that the building is mainly used as dorms for students and during the summer months converted to a hotel style accommodation. Just to note our room did not have air conditioning just a small desk fan. We we ready for this as most of UK and EU do not use air con. With that being said it fit our needs and was a pleasant stay overall.
