    Paper thin walls. We could hear everything going on in the next room. The bed was falling apart and creaked every time I moved. The mattress was so old and over used that it was so sunken on each side. The bathrooms were horrible. They weren’t cleaned weekly, like stated. And the water pressure didn’t exist on our floor so the toilet didn’t flush and the shower water trickled out.

    The location was good. The room was spacious

    The shower was almost unusable due to water pressure not being strong. Thankfully they had a bath tub which was a good replacement. When the staff were asked they replied that the janitor couldn't fix it until after our stay.

    Great location and connection to anywhere in the city. Large room and good range of facilities.

    Communal areas are disgusting. Carpets looked like they hadn’t been hoovered in months. There were at least two pairs of soiled underwear in the main staircase and communal bathroom whilst I was there. Despite the assurance that communal bathrooms are cleaned once a week, the last cleaning was 22nd May when I was there, and I left on the 31st without it having been cleaned. The shared bathrooms are also between 4 guest rooms/ studios on each floor, so it’s very difficult to gauge when they’ll be free if you’re there for work and need to leave at a certain time. The staff also refuse to clean up kitchen areas if guests don’t keep them tidy, so it’s sort of your luck as to whether those get cleaned as it depends on other guests… The Wi-Fi is dreadful and frequently cuts out. I know it’s budget, but it was pretty grim.

    Room was functional and had most kitchen appliances needed.

    The bed and pillow could be better, the kitchen should be cleaner

    Initially, my expectations were not high upon booking, but to my surprise, the service was commendable. They efficiently shortened my stay upon request, addressed and resolved a bathroom issue within the same day, and maintained commendable cleanliness throughout the premises.

    Everything was worn and tatty. It was clean. Just a little more money spent on the room (top floor, room 14) would make a real difference. The other guests were friendly.

    The price. The easy check in. The friendliness of the staff. My room was warm.

    Let me preface by saying that I usually don't write reviews - just add ratings but one has to comment on the situation here. Also, I am not particularly fussy either, I've been to my fair share of dorms and hostels too. The place needs work. A lot of it. And transparency when advertising. Because the pictures and descriptions are quite divorced from the reality of the place. Let's see: - A new set of bugs in the bathroom every day - lack of toilet paper?! - sticky floors (not sticky clean for sure) - paper thin walls - odd smell throughout the house - spotty WiFi - bed mattress so old that it is more like a wave that will give you back pain no matter how you sleep - and the lack of basic amenities I understand that this is some form of short stay shared apartment complex, but if you've decided to make money over the summer and advertise it as lodging, then you should be ready to make your guests feel like there is some sort of service. No, towels do not comprise extra service in 2025, they should be provided. Rooms should be cleaned and sheets changed during the stay - maybe not every day but in the 5 days I was there nobody vacuumed anything once, to say nothing of the trash. Your sockets and electricity supply are also troublesome. As you did not care to provide a hairdryer when I asked, I went and bought one of my own, plugged it in and the thing promptly died. I thought, sure must be faulty but when I brought it back to the store it worked fine. Why is that? Well, because of the ancient and clearly not maintained infrastructure. Bathrooms, especially shared ones MUST be cleaned more often!! By day 3, all bar one had run out of toilet paper which nobody replaced??? And then you have the gall to write to me how I should take the trash out myself upon Check-out?

    Well, it was close to the university at least, as I was there for a conference.

    First of all, the room I was given looked "nothing" like the photos on Booking.com. It was basically unfurnished, smelled like mould and dust, and was clearly not cleaned at all. As soon as I stepped in, my eyes started watering, I was sneezing non-stop, and my skin began to itch — clearly a health hazard. When I complained, instead of properly resolving the issue, I was told to go to a completely different address. I had to walk 10 minutes just to get there, dragging my luggage like a fool. After finally reaching that location, I received yet "another" room number and access code. I wasted over an hour trying to figure out where I was even supposed to stay. After a long trip from Manchester, this was an absolutely ridiculous situation to be put in. And no surprise, the second room wasn’t any better. It was filthy. There were hairs in the sink, the curtains were torn, and the toilet was disgusting. On top of that, I genuinely suspect the place has bed bugs — I woke up itching all over and now I have bites on my body. That is completely unacceptable and borderline dangerous. I was supposed to check out tomorrow at 10 AM, but I left today at 4 PM because I couldn’t take another minute. My skin is still irritated and I’m beyond disgusted. This was one of the worst accommodation experiences I’ve ever had. I demand a refund, and I suggest someone investigate the condition of that property because what I went through should "not" be happening to paying guests.

    Even though I made the booking on this website there was an additional booking step that I was not informed about. This involved the hotel asking me to mail my card details, as I didn't want to do this I could give them over the phone. I do not feel comfortable handing out my full card details in this way and it should have been clearly stated when booking.

    The location is fantastic with good access to the best part of Bristol
