This place seems to be a student dorm that has been repurposed as a hotel/hostel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a "shared space" common room at the end of my hall complete with a kitchen and refrigerator if you want to buy and prepare your own food. It is relatively close (short walk) to the train station and very close to a bus station making transportation convenient.

Hostel type accommodation with temperature issues
I would not recommend this as a place to stay at all. It's just basic student accommodation and not a hotel. My room was airless and the ground floor room windows cannot be opened. Air conditioning wasn't working either, so you can't get any fresh air flow. Very stuffy and uncomfortable. The bathroom is probably the best part, except not having a light switch, it was fairly modern and clean. The 2 rolls of toilet roll provided are of the cheapest quality possible. There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room, nor is there even a plastic cup or glass in the bathroom. The floor was unclean with hairs from the previous guest and clumps of dust when I arrived. Lights were very bright in the room with no bedside lights. The bathroom light weirdly has no switch, it just goes off eventually. Directly outside my room was a large smoking area, so there was noise from people talking out there. Higher floor rooms may fair better for noise, unless on the road side. I ended up checking out early as I felt light headed due to there being no working air conditioning or an openable window. This is the most uncomfortable room I've ever had the misfortune of staying in and the fact they're asking £150+ per night is ridiculous. The whole place feels extremely hot and stuffy, with only the reception area being a comfortable temperature. There are far better options, even if it means paying a little more. They really need to sort this place out as it's simply not fit for purpose.

Great!
We loved that it was only a 15-20 min walk to many popular sites. Quiet area away from all of the busyness without feeling like you are missing out. Staff was kind and accomodating. Beds were comfortable. Lots of food places a few mins walk away. The bus to get to the airport was also a very short walk.

Very convenient for the fringe, bus service very good and easy 30min walk to centre. Tram station only 10mins. Quite basic accommodation but perfect for staying during The Fringe. The road was a bit noisy.

The room is very small, remember this is a student halls, so the room really is for one person, which is why you get one towel, even if two are staying. Sadly, considering what we paid and assuming how much a student would pay per year, the mattress really is cheap and offers little to no support. All internal areas were roasting and in the bedroom, we could only open the window slightly. The shared area was useful and clean and bathroom was decent, but its just the mattress and a lack of space for two people which was the issue. If you are ok with this, then book it, but dont expect a lot.

Ok but too hot!
They are what youd expect from student accommodation basic but sufficient. Staff were friendly and cleanliness was ok. Quite a central location. However, the rooms were extremely hot, uncomfortably so. It felt like there was heating on (August). The corridors were even warmer. The weather wasnt especially warm so it did not seem to be related to that. Based on this i wouldn't stay again.

This was the first time my friend and I stayed at the hotel and experienced a room without tea/coffee facilities. I know there was a kitchen area on all floors but! there was dirty dishes in the sink that was there for the two nights we stayed,which by the way wasn’t ours,the kitchen next to my room clearly hadn’t been cleaned for a while.This is not for me,i knew there wasn’t any breakfast but! who wants to go down to reception for a tea/coffee in the morning to a flask of Luke warm water.l’m quite sure especially more mature people would appreciate tea coffee facilities in all rooms.
