Staff were friendly, kitchen is big enough for multiple people to be cooking at once, and they have coin laundry. Centrally located, beds were fine, nice big lockers for your bag. Centrally located :)

Lovely supportive friendly staff. Good quality bedding and a great extra to have straighteners in the toilets. I was concerned about the cleanliness but once I discussed with the staff about the lack of soap and the overflowing bins it was dealt with very late on that day. The kitchen doesn’t seem to get cleaned as often and has a very limited stock of pans and pans that actually are not broken. Quality of wifi is good limited plugs in the rooms only an extension lead but not always close tobed
