Good location with a lot of convenience stores besides, but the room is small.

It was a pretty location, just 20-30 minutes walk to city center and main attractions. Easily accessible by bus and tram. Shops nearby like tesco and sainsburys. We had a very clean room and a shared kitchen which had all facilities, so it was easy to prepare food. They also had a nice common room. 24/7 reception which really helpful. Must recommend place for people traveling in budget.

Very friendly staff. smooth check in and out. Location is ok, only 20 min walk from the city center; however the problem is that it takes around the same time if you want to take public transportation and don’t want to walk. Paper thin walls however neighbors are ok as we try to be respectful of each other. Decent sized rooms for 1. Didn’t use the kitchen. Early check in £15 luggage deposit £5/piece

Nice staff and can easily reach them. The reception 24 hours open. But small room and suggest to single travellers.
