The place seemed clean inside and comfy bed. Check in was easy, as there was no contact with anyone. In fact, even the emergency number provided wasn’t answered. This was called when the fire alarm went off at 6 am. Someone finally showed up about 15 minutes later, pushed through the groggy crowd without a word to disable the alarm. (Note: the fire brigade never arrived, so it’s good there wasn’t an actual fire.) When the crowd was finally addressed, we were told someone left the shower on overlong… Aside from that debacle, the basement room we were in had no window and had the heater running, which couldn’t be turned off in the unseasonably warm late summer. So the room was hot and stuffy, and not the most pleasant without the early wake up. I’d say fine for students, but I think it’s a bit pricey for that. Security is questionable, as the key for your room opens the front door. And this is true for everyone…. What the key doesn’t open is the back door, which self-locks on a shabby garden with no exit. Overall, I’d say it’s best to avoid. Book early and find something decent.
