The staff were lovely, and the bed was comfortable. The meals were pretty basic and there was little choice in 'restaurant' meals. However, the food tasted good.

The one electrical point in the room was broken, and hanging from the wall. The electric fan was broken. WiFi was only reliable in the dining room.

Simple, clean, extremely friendly and supportive staff

Electricity shortages without clear notice. Fair, understable but I would have appreciated to be notified of this issue ahead.

good location, friendly staff

Before staying I had enquired through Bookingcom what time breakfast is. the Manager answered 7am. As I had to leave before 8am, I went to a dining room just before 7am. Found only cleaners doing their job. They said it would be 730am....

The room was ok just comfortable the facility was perfect though. And the food at the restaurant was just ok. But the public toilet was smelling when I passed in the front, which disappointed me a lot...

The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and the common spaces were pleasant. The location is fantastic for working at the university.

The hot water heater in the shower does not seem safe. It had exposed wires and made a burning smell. It was impossible to close the windows that gave out from the bathroom to the corridor for privacy. I would have appreciated a safe in the room to secure valuables.
