A fantastic way to spend a week… that it was a student accommodation it meant I had all the things I could need. Also the desk and excellent WiFi meant I could work without issue. Being summer it’s probably quieter than term time, but as it’s only rented out outside term time it was lovely and quiet. Highly recommend.

Basic accommodation. Would have been fine but having travelled all day without eating and arrived early evening, the shop had shut at six and there was not even a vending machine. The area is a food dessert so had to walk off the campus to eat. The bar also, whilst full for the football, closed earlier than advertised (because it was so quiet - when there were around 30 in still watching the game) at just after 9pm. And then the showers were stone cold the next morning. What a shame.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location but the room was hot and claustrophobic; the windows only open a little. Very cramped en-suite. The bedding was clean but had old stains on it. No shower mat on second day. Kettle was temperamental. Quite a trek to another building for breakfast

Danielle

Check in was well organised and very helpful and friendly young students, easy access to rooms , great lift, All in all absolutely fine, there was an unfortunate few hours on the Friday , there were people from the Museums celebrating at the Campus bar and the noise was so extraordinarily bad for hours I eventually had to go there and complain to the manager, they did stop serving them as they agreed with me , they still didn't leave and continuer the raucous noise and then I went and asked the security guard if they would move them on, they were obviously high on alcohol and drugs, it was really a ghastly thing to experience I do feel it would be something for the staff to realise that the noise travels , echoes all round the square, am sure other people complaint, surely one can celebrate and still have a good time without disturbing the whole neighbourhood. Otherwise everything was fine, thank you I would appreciate it if in future the staff of the bar would take this into consideration we don't pay for being kept awake.

Bed was uncomfortable - springs obviously felt. Pillows were wafer thin. Breakfast was ok-ish but lots of items tasted really cheap. Granola was inedible. I was impressed there were vegan options, but confused to the lack of any non-dairy milk!

Great location
Great location if travelling when university dorms not in use. Quick 5 minute walk to delicious cafes and underground/tube station as well as walking distance to Kensington Palace/gardens and other attractions. I thought it was a bit pricey for a single beds/basic dorm room but maybe thats just London.
