This place was a great place to stay. I would
definitely book here again and recommend for friends. Check in was easy! And the place had a great security system. They provided you with swipe cards to get into the building and a traditional key your room. Because it’s a dorm during school months, its perfect for tourists for a quick weekend stay or and extended stay. My husband and I stayed for 6 days. The bed was memory foam and comfy, had a kitchen down the hall fully equipped and a laundry room in the basement for guests, all free of charge!
The receptionists were all a great help!
This place is centrally located and had a 10/15 minute walk to Trafalger Square, the London Eye, The bus tour, The Subway, and the theatres where the Lion King, Mama Mia, and Tina Turner were being played! We ate at a different restaurant each day and night and had to walk no more than 10 minutes! The 24hr Mini grocery store (Tesco) was directly across the street if we needed late night snacks! (and it wasn’t expensive). This dorm room had a desk, dresser and an armoir (closet with shelves and a bar to hang our clothes) and was fully stocked with towels and everything u would get if u were at a hotel! It also had a mini fridge! Every 3 days we got new towels, sheets, toiletries and trash removal. The building has no central air, but it’s London and it wasn’t very warm there for our stay. But, they did provide two Fans (one large, and one small) and the windows opened to let air circulate. So it wasn’t uncomfortable at all. Because it’s located in such a central and busy place, the outside noise never seemed to die down. If you’re a person who needs it to be quite this isn’t the place for u. It didn’t bother my husband and I because we live next to an express way and are 2 min away from a Hospital, lol so it was like home!
This Place rocked! will def be back!
Cons
The only cons were that the room had no TV. But it’s a dorm room, I imagine it could get pretty pricey to put a TV in each room. But we had great wifi so we just used our Tablet for entertainment!
Also, being from America we didn’t have the right plugs to plug into the wall outlets. We called the receptionist but they didn’t have any extras. We ended up buying one from the gift shop across the street ($5 bucks or so) But it would have been be nice if one was provided.
