the curtains in our room would not close, so we had street lights streaming through our window (it was quite annoying). the window did not block out any sound from the street, so we could hear everything loudly. the shared bathrooms were not kept clean either.

Solid stay downtown

central locationflat ladderpower outletsoundproof booths

The location was central. My bunk included a flat step ladder, curtains, a light, a power outlet, and a locker. Though bicycle acceptance is unusual, staff allowed me to keep my bike in storage. I appreciated the soundproof booths for work and calls.

I found the beds area a bit awkward, with a large box over the foot area. I kept bumping it with my legs.

superb locationquiet space

The location is superb, especially for accessing public transportation. The office pods provided a quiet space to work (i even attended a meeting).

The staff is the kindest and most understanding. everything in the kitchen you will have to each before using because everyone leaves food on the dishes they clean. shared bathrooms just as a btw, i booked and didn't realize that

I found the location very convenient. The rooms were clean and met my expectations (very important for me). The reception had staff available 24/7. They answered my questions promptly and helpfully via message.

The noise from the station opposite disturbed sleep. Exterior noise penetrated the room due to the lack of double glazing.
