the staff were helpful and nice they assisted with luggage on the super steep stairs. the location provided easy access from eurostar. many dining options were close by as well.

i found that sound isolation was not good i could hear neighbors and outside conversations even when windows were closed. the pillows were not comfortable so i slept without them. i noticed a bed bug which prevented sleep and caused bites.

the location proved useful for getting around, a simple positive.

the shared toilet and shower situation was not great. it meant trekking down the hall at odd hours, and that lacked any privacy or convenience.

the staff was friendly and helpful! they communicated via what's app before i checked in, a convenient way to ask about parking. the location is great and the value is excellent. i had a three bed room with a cool herman brood theme, including a drum ceiling lamp. the design added to the charm.
