Feminine room has no ventilation and it's ridiculously small for 6 people. I'm not sure if it was the ventilation problem, but the bed even seem smaller than normal. The lift was not working. I talked with only two staff, and they were both rude.

Very friendly staff, great location. However not social at all, there was a school trip (loads of kids) in the small common room while we were there. Room was dirty and extremely stuffy. No place to sit and meet others. Would not stay here solo wanting to meet people.

Security was a key card, but entry was propped open a lot. Secondary lock on each room was adequate, just odd. No soap or similar shower amenities. Towel was £3 which felt a bit high. Toilet was extremely small, like “shoulders against each wall” small. Beds similarly small. I’m 5’10” and felt like sleeping in a coffin. Toes & head both hit on regular occasions. Couldn’t sit up. Again shoulder to shoulder in the bed frame. Even Japan has bigger beds and toilets. Adequate, but won’t return.
