So to start with the good things - the room was large and the location was very good as well, literally minutes from Liverpool Street station. The room was clean and the bed was comfy, and kitchen utensils were provided.
In terms of what wasn't so great, the biggest factor was the noise from the other guests. I saw some people mention this before I booked, but I thought because it's primarily student accommodation during the pandemic it might not be so bad. Unfortunately it was just as bad, if not worse. And I'm not talking about a few raised voices late in the evening - on more than one occasion I was woken up in literally the middle of the night by people screaming at the top of their voices in the corridors. The staff were, to be fair, trying to get them to quieten down but there was only so much they could do.
There was also no bin in the room at all which was a bit strange, wasn't really worth me buying one just for three weeks, so had to have my rubbish in a plastic bag, which wasn't exactly ideal.
So overall, great location and the room was on the whole very good, but if you're a light sleeper or, like me, need to be up early for work, I'd definitely bear that in mind.
