10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Great location. 5 minutes walk from the train station. Local Sainsbury’s right around the corner and within easy walking distance of the city centre. Really warm welcome by a very friendly group of staff (appreciated reading your article Issac!) who helped create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Good kitchen facilities (free coffee in the morning) and clean toilets and showers.
Honestly can’t complain about anything.
7 / 10Good·May 2026
Great location.
Staff weren’t overly engaging nor a very social environment. Rooms were extremely hot (but as too was the weather, unusually). Didn’t get my free drink on check in either.

Good value for the location and facilities.
Was difficult to find the entrance.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
The volunteers guys were cool
Returned from work one evening in full orange when one lady staff continued to question my presence & even delayed me ascending the stairs, after I entered the premises via key code and explained I was a guest
