Ok for 1 night if you sleep after midnight
Pros:

Located close to centre. The room was modern and clean. The bed was comfortable. Check in was easy with a PIN number door code. There was a drinking Water dispenser and a shared fridge

Cons:

There was very very loud awful music that lasted until after midnight. The toilet was ok but the shower was inside the toilet cubicle . The cubicle was very small so it made it almost impossible to shower

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Good location and bed was comfy

Cons:

Toilets were often all fully occupied so couldn’t use. When they were free there was often no toilet roll. Room smelt of paint so bad that I woke up with a headache. Sounds of crawling in the walls at night (think rats or mice).
