This is student accommodation rented out in the holidays. It’s actually quite nice if you’re just after a bed and a bathroom to use in the evening. There was someone there to greet me wen I arrived, and always someone present in the accommodation in case they were needed.
When I was first shown to my room it, the bedding/towels had not been changed since the last occupant. The host was extremely apologetic and showed me to an alternative room for the night, which unfortunately had a cold shower (this room was at the front of the building, which was quite noisy, but fine with ear plugs). The following day I was taken back to my original room (at the back of the building) which was now very clean, very quiet and had a nice warm shower.
The kitchen had tea and coffee which was nice, but is quite basic (as you would expect from a student kitchen).
In all, a slightly frustrating first night, but the lad who was looking after the accommodation at that point was so nice and so apologetic that I couldn’t be upset and after this it was absolutely fine. I probably would stay here again, as for London, it’s pretty reasonable value.
