Overall, not great, but not terrible either. The self check in service was a new experience, but left me feeling somewhat cold, as it felt like there was no staff on the premises to help you out if you needed it. The building and rooms themselves also smelled pretty old/musty. The Pods were a nice touch, but my underbed locker was broken. Location was great though.

The "pods" arrangememnt works really well - it really feels like your own space. I do question whether it is legal to put 8 people into such a small room - and there certainly wasn't enough space given that most people had large bags that couldn't fit into the storage space provided so basically took up the floor space. I also thought that one toilet and sink for 8 people was inadequate. The worst thing was that the cold tap in the room didn't work at all!
