Wished I had read the...
Liked: It was cheap.
Disliked: It had a weird vibe, it didn't feel inviting. Our room was next to the reception and it didn't feel nice at all. The owner was sleeping on the couch next to reception behind a curtain. This meant we had to go past him if we wanted to use the toilet. Just an unpleasant place to be.

Incorrect location at an uncomfortable...
Liked: Awful! 1. They lied about the location!!! Two days before going, I received a message to say I would be staying in another one of their buildings (implying that both exist). On arrival I asked why I was moved, the guy checking me in (who didn’t have a name badge or uniform or anything to imply he was working there other than walking down the stairs when I walked in) replied that “they he had to move” in a shocked way as if I shouldn’t have asked the question. I then asked if it was a permanent move and he said yes - so, why would I only be notified two days before? WHY is Russel Scott still available to book?! The change of location resulted in a change of check in time (18:00 which is quite late!) and there’s no reception area in this new building. 2. It’s still a building site (see photos) - it smells of dust and paint, the floors are floor boards put down before you’d put carpet or wooden boards on. 3. Uncomfortable mattress - enough said, it was difficult to get to sleep. 4. There were no lockers5. There were no room numbers on the doors. 6. Codes to get in to building and rooms, not a key (doesn’t feel as safe)Ultimately, it was cheap and central but awful experience.

I felt deceived and let...
Liked: The showers were adequate and the rooms were clean.
Disliked: The manager was surly and rude. I was only told that I was being moved to a different property the day before I arrived. The new property, while adequate, was a far cry from what I had been promised. There was no cooker and there was no door for the bathrooms.
