Probably wouldn’t stay again, we had been in the room for about an hour then, a lady (staff) came into the room without knocking, and proceeded to change the pillow cases ... yuck! She didn’t say a word to us, was pretty uncomfortable. There was also no toilet paper or towels in the room

It was basic and all I needed was somewhere to stay It was close to where I needed to be for the days that I was staying there. However It needed a dish cloth and a dish brush. Bigger coffee mugs. These are small things but when you don’t have them , you miss them. Thank god I took my own cup for uni. 😂

Not good. Very noisy place. Construction site opposite makes loud noises before 6am in morning. Late at night, men and women shouting, laughing and screaming. After 9 nights there, we developed panda eyes. Staff weren't very nice either.
