Everything was as advertised. Location is great and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Bathrooms are shared but again, that is advertised. Definitely recommend.

There is a 24-hour front desk in the student dormitory, so it is very safe. The room, toilet and bathroom are clean. It is a little far from King's Cross Station. There are many small supermarkets on the way to and from the station. It is a cost-effective place to stay for a single person.

The hotel environment is acceptable, clean and well-maintained, but the facilities are a bit simple. If you really want to stay here, remember to bring what you need, especially a hair dryer. It is a bit far from King's Cross.

This was the worst accommodation I've ever stayed in. I asked for a first-floor room because there was no elevator, but they assigned me to the third floor, and even worse, I had to climb half a flight of stairs. They gave me a room in the very corner; the stairs were strangely laid out, going down from the third floor and then back up again. They assigned me a room in a location that was incredibly difficult to find, and without any guidance, they just laughed and told me to go find my way. It was so disrespectful to the point where I wondered if they were ignoring Asians. They even insisted on assigning me a room at the very end, where there was no elevator access. This was the worst.

The location was better than I expected! There were supermarkets and restaurants nearby, so it wasn't a problem even without breakfast. Also, although the facilities were minimal, I was happy that I could stay there for less than the surrounding hotels.

The room is quite big and quiet. The room on the fourth floor has a skylight. The public bathroom is also very clean. You won't bump into anyone when you take a shower. The internet speed is also good. What else do you want at this price?

Great

The location is very good. It is located in a college in the city center where every inch of land is valuable. The dormitory is on the second floor, facing the inner court. It has good lighting and is very quiet. I slept very well. There are public toilets and bathrooms next door. There are not many people and there is no queue. Breakfast is in the college cafeteria and is very cheap. I will come here again in the future.

Amazing
Posted on Sep 1, 2024
The room is clean, bright and well ventilated, suitable for one person to live in, as if back in college. The unique thing is that the school provides breakfast, lunch and dinner meals at affordable prices. It is worth noting that no one cleans the room. In addition, the school is a little far from the subway station and bus station. It takes about 13 minutes to walk.

Very, very bad place! Don't book, don't book, don't book! I wanted to experience the British dormitory culture, but I completely experienced it this time. It's selfish, cold and discriminatory! I'm a girl with a 28-inch luggage. As soon as I arrived, I was arranged to stay in a remote basement without an elevator. I didn't book a dormitory but a mid-range price (about 1,000 yuan a night). During this period, I asked twice if I could change to a room on a higher floor or at least with an elevator, but was rejected. The two white men at the front desk saw me carrying a big box and didn't help at all. I asked to check out the more I thought about it. When I returned the room card and walked out of the door to search for a new hotel, the front desk suddenly came out and told me that there was a room on the third floor for me. I was speechless and refused to check in again. I dragged my luggage to another hotel alone that night, and the front desk didn't care about my safety at all. Later, because I didn't stay for a day, I asked for a full refund. The hotel actually refused to refund me on the grounds that they had changed me to the third floor because I didn't go to stay. It's ridiculous! If I didn't leave, they wouldn't change my room. When I was about to leave, they suddenly said they had a room. It felt like they were deliberately setting me up! In the end, Ctrip refunded me. Please stay away from this unscrupulous hotel and the mean front desk receptionist. They discriminate against Chinese people + women!!!
