Very good

The structure is fairly clean and in the city centre.
It is one of the cheapest options if you're on a budget and are not too fussy.
On a positive note, the water pressure from the shower was really good and breakfast is free (if you have booked directly from them, or £4 if not).
Unfortunately, there are several problems.
The beds were not very comfortable:
-the rooms were really warm so it was hard to fall asleep; -the pillows were extremely flat and uncomfortable;
-the bed sheet was too small for the mattress so the mattress was all curved up and I couldn't fully extend my legs.
In the shower (and toilets), there was no ventilation so when you shower it gets all steamed up. In addition, there is nothing to separate the shower area from the little "bench" in the shower cabin so everything gets soaked up very easily.
There are only two sinks (at least in the build where I was) so at times it can get packed when everyone needs to brush their teeth. There are small sinks in the toilets but they are not ideal.
Lastly, the breakfast is quite lacking. Again, it is free if you book from them so you can't complain too much. But still, there was the bare minimum to make yourself a sandwich or have a cereal bowl so it was a little underwhelming.
