All in all good, if compared to the cheap price. Kind staff. The problem is that they are not clear enough in the booking flow, since they sold me a room with garden view and I ended in a room at level -1 with one tiny window heading nowhere (probably facing a wall considering the darkness). The bathroom was private but external, but this was not specified in the booking. I would have booked the room anyways, therefore I’d recommend the property to be more specific on the room’s characteristics.

Wallpaper was peeling on walls. Toilet far too narrow and bathroom a real state... Clean but clearly just painted over damp and painted over terrible wallpaper. Get rid of that wardrobe and hairdryer. Room too dark...needs ligteninhand a curtain to cover the scary window that is a window into a room. Dark and scary. Named the purple dungeon on reviews. Get rid of the purple and modernise it. positives are the host was lovely and beds comfy and clean. Needs re papering and re plastering . New bathroom sink etc.

A strange experience. On arrival being given 4 separate keys and being told very clearly that check out was 11am at the very latest! My first experience of having the toilet and shower in a separate room, not ideal when needing the loo in the night trying to work out which key was needed for each room.

Unrepeatable
The person who greeted me when I arrived was courteous and businesslike. The room was very small in area with the minimum of space and facility. It was not very clean with some areas very dirty. The room had a washbasin which was accessible only by clambering over the bed. The shared toilet and shower room were very cramped, basic and did not look very clean. I did not use the shower and the toilet as little as possible. I simply could not relax here and left as soon as I could in the morning. I was overall a sobering experience which I will never want to repeat.
This shows the difficult access to the uncomfortable bed.
This is the tiny area to sit in.

Aside from a gross shower curtain, the place was clean and staff were friendly. The room was pretty spacious, although the bed was a little uncomfortable. Overall, the price was right and the location was great!

Our private bathroom was at the far end of the corridor with no lock on the outside so who knows who used it. Our room was in the basement with a window to a dark alley so no daylight and the room was painted dark purple. Floor boards and stairs very creaky I heard every movement in the night. Front door lock is broken still works but it's not great. Tiles missing from the bathroom. But fab hospitality tray in the room. Would not stay again for such a price as I paid.

Convenient location, cheap price, get what pay for
Check in process not easy as time needs to be arranged and I then arrived 20 mins earlier than expected (takes proprietor about 5-10 mins to arrive from point of contact). Room could do with some updating, felt like student digs with some mould on shower curtain, ikea furniture missing parts, doorhandle not working, crumbs under bed etc. However, £90 per night at short notice when all other options (other than 10 person dorms) were >£300. Location very convenient too.
