Pros:

Location and it had WiFi in the room.

Cons:

Heavy Dirty, ensuite shower squirts water and some what warm and dirty. Outside communal shower cleaner but shower broken. Beds uncomfortable, dead insects under the bed, so this means they don't clean. We had the pleasure of the company of a mice at night time. Stairs leading to the top floor has not seen a broom or a map in a few months. TV works but no channels available plus no remote. 1 socket in the entire room. No kettle.

Stinky but cheap
Pros:

I paid £50 for a double bed in central London so that basically tells you all you need to know. The room smelled like someone had smoked cigars in there for 20 years and the weird shower box in the room wasn’t worth the cost to install because it was more efficient to wash yourself with the sink than the ‘shower’. But the location and the price combined make sense so I’ll probably stay there again because it’s cheap and close to my work.

Cons:

The smell the shower the bed

Horrendous. Will never stay here again. I wouldn't accommodate a homeless person in that room with t
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room did not reflect the pictures online. The heating didn't work, the bed was uncomfortable, the carpet was threadbare, the walls were patchy and had random sockets that done nothing. There was only a single power point in the room, the wardrobe was broken, there were no coat hangers, kettle, teapot, cups / glasses. The bathroom was shared (this was advertised, so not an issue), however, the cleanliness of the bathroom facilities was well below par and the bath appeared to have a black film of mould across all most of its serface.
