Great location, accommodates my needs & value for money.
Pros:

The location is ideal for me being close to my family & providing opportunity to access local eateries, pubs & shops. The tram is on the doorstep as are buses to both Nottingham & Derby city centre. I choose a room with ensuite only however there is access to a shared kitchen & eating area, I don't personally need this as my family are next door! Beeston has some great places to eat, at the far end of the high road a greek bakery, a deli & Japanese restaurant (10 min walk from the property). Real ale pubs are in abundance. The rooms (6) are within a numbered flat, access codes are provided in advance as is a video map of locating the flat. I would suggest you view this prior to arriving as there are a lot of corridors to navigate. Rooms are basic but provide everything you need if you're looking for a stay to visit friends, family or explore the area without requiring luxury accommodation.

Cons:

Firstly you are in a large complex that caters predominantly to students (who incidentally are more respectful about noise levels). The rooms are not made of solid brick so you do have to expect a level of noise, ramping up the TV in the room will impact your neighbour which I have experienced until the very early hours. This said this is down to inconsideration to others staying & not considering the shared environment of which you are accommodated.

Overpriced spare student accommodation that was complicated to access and cold. Would not use again
Pros:

To be fair, the room was as advertised. Modern , clean with a comfortable bed and good ensuite facilities

Cons:

Accessing the property was complicated, with lots of messages to read and videos. And I had to provide a credit card number for security identification, supposedly, even though I had already paid. Far too complicated. The help line number only answered sometimes, despite being number one in the queue, and they never responded to voice messages left. We had trouble turning on the extra heating in the room, which required finding three switches. The room was cold and didn't heat up, even with the supplementary heating left on all night. There was a communal kitchen to make tea or coffee or indeed cook up a meal, but I don't want to do this in the morning in the company of strangers. Basically, it was overpriced (£96 for one night), spare student accommodation. There was also no wastebasket in the room or bathroom.

Looks pretty, but staff should be on site to sort problems
Pros:

The design of the room.

Cons:

No fan in the room (It was boiling), ironing board with no iron in sight, the hallway of the dorm stunk of garbage, the floor in my room was dirty, no bin in my room, Remote for TV needed 2 batteries to work and it only had one.

Assurance from staff that they were actively making steps to move me to a room which has the things I asked for, with no follow up.

We would not stay again
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Very basic facilities, single duvet on a double bed, toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet, no tooth mug, kitchen wasn’t very clean, no iron. Customer service didnt respond to messages. Once I’d passed the cancellation deadline I was unformed I had to pay a £100 refundable deposit.
