Britannia on William Backpackers

Exceptional

All good except for the...

Liked: Location: a 5 minutes walk to the train station and bus stationStaff: always helpful,Recreational area: has a pool, plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and it's big and you can smoke, people playing music and having a drink
Disliked: The worst part is the kitchen. I was there for two weeks and couldn't bring myself to cook there because of the constant bad smell. They don't open the windows, using the excuse that pigeons get in, and as far as I can remember, there's no extractor fan. If there are, they're either off or don't work properly, so it's as if they don't exist. They don't take out the garbage bags at night, so if you have to go get water late at night, be prepared to hold your breath. During the two weeks I was there, I decided to eat outside because, although it's very long, it's also narrow, so it's easy to bump into each other. The kitchen's cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired.

I had a good time...

Liked: the location of the property is perfect. It is close to all the different shops, restaurants and even Transportation. I will surely be back.

Freezing and dirty - Needs...

Liked: Convenient short stay, has a lot of potential if they fix a lot
Disliked: My biggest gripe was the lack of bedding - A very thin polyester duvet in the middle of winter (in an old building without heating) is not appropriate. I had all my thermals and coats on and was still shivering! See pictures, this is all I had for bedding.We were also all woken up to an alarm at 4am and had to evacuate - turns out it was a faulty wire or something that tripped it so the place clearly needs a big renovation. It would have been good if any member of staff made a single attempt to apologise for that disruption instead of ignoring everyone.Thought it was strange they want you to clear the sheets for the private rooms as well - it just revealed to me how gross/unclean the mattress was.

Very good
