Great location within walking distance of train station, town centre, the river, cathedral etc
Spotlessly clean, tea and coffee topped up daily
Relatively quiet on most days
Friendly staff
Good sized room with plenty of storage
The room was very hot and stuffy and there was no fan or optional sheets for bed
The bed was uncomfortable as it was made of sheets of wood in a box shape
The key for the bedroom door, internal doors, front door and gates was the same which made me feel unsafe as a solo traveller
The shared shower had a fixed head so was tricky to wash, was very small and had no temperature control

Comfy bed although they're singles, very clean and great location! Fluffy towels. Easy to get to everything and right near the cathedral yet nice and quiet. Lovely staff on check in..
The room was very hot and there was no fan. Mine faced the sun so it was a bit like a greenhouse. It's a student room so it's no frills! The shower room is very small but fine. The tea and coffee making is good to have but could do with being less mean. One biscuit, one hot choc and very old coffee that had gone solid in the packet. Also be good to have alternative milk as well as you can get oat milk in sticks the same as dairy. The bath mats are paper and totally rubbish. I thought over all it was great standard accomodation in a fab and beautiful location but could do with a little tweak here and there to justify the price.

The location is great, and the facilities were very comfortable. You have access to more than your room and that makes it a very comfortable place to be. Many open areas, it was very good
Internet was OK but I did not succeed in making calls by WhatssApp. As a foreign person, I normally call to my country and connection could not be established at any moment. So, since the normal phone signal was nule at the room, I had to be outside and use my own data to make my calls.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Entspricht dem, was man von Aufenthalt in College erwartet.
Lage ist an sich gut, aber recht weit vom Bahnhof entfernt. Für das was es bietet, ziemlich teuer
