Great value option

Good, basic accommodation for a very reasonable price, within easy walking distance of the city centre. A quiet campus, with safe and secure parking included made it a fantastic deal. The rooms are basic, and a little tired, but clean and comfortable enough and the included breakfast is a nice bonus.

Overnight Stay

Breakfast great, bed comfy, no hot water at basin in the room but hot water in the shower room basins across the corridor. Nice stay for a stop over but I agree room walls very thin so noise can be an issue.
