Despite the above, we had...

Liked: Good location, good value, clean, balcony off room was nice.
Disliked: Excessive hoops to jump through in terms of deposit, pre-check-in etc. Because I had booked 3 rooms, the process had to be repeated 3 times. Also, although the rooms were clean, the cleaner had left bags of rubbish outside the bathroom. It also wasn’t clear whether the bathroom was shared with just our 3 rooms or others as well. Shower recess leaked, so floor and bath mat was constantly soaked.

Very good

Cozy affordable stay in king...

Liked: The property was close to city centre and easily assessable by train and bus. The property was well equipped and comfortable
Disliked: To carry up my suitcase as it was located on 1st floor and no lift. On 2 nights - around 9sh pm till 1am it was a bit noisy - sound from nearby restaurants The shared bathroom generally was clean and well equipped, however there were few times that the toilet was not properly flushed.

Very good

Quiet, cosy room. Great value.

Liked: Quiet but central. An easy walk to the famous Cross & its nightlife, but in a quiet residential street. Next door to the excellent upscale restaurant, Figo. Easy check in on numerical pads, as long as you're OK with memorising simple numbers. But no worries about carrying a key card, particularly to pop to the bathroom in the middle of the night!Lovely comfortable room, with the bonus of a microwave & fridge, plus basic crockery & cutlery in a corner, so great for basic self-catering.The shared bathrooms were small & basic but clean & lovely hot water, with reasonable quality shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. I never had a problem with availability of a bathroom or other people's mess left behind.
Disliked: The fire alarm going off after 11pm was not great. Some really idiotic person had smoked in their room. Obviously the hotel couldn't control this, but it did emphasise that this is a bit of a bargain place without permanent staff on site. It's a considerable step up from a hostel, but obviously still can't screen out the selfish stupid idiots.
