Great idea, poor comfort.. This place needs to work on the basics and it would be perfect.
Pros:

The concept of this place is good, nicely layed out. Like the honesty box idea and bar, pool tables and ping pong. Good location, good showers, Air-con a welcome addition although faulty

Cons:

With any stay my priority is always comfort and getting a good night's sleep, this did not meet that expectation. We stayed in room 2. An air conditioning unit making a droning sound routinely that lasted 4-5 seconds probably every 5-10 minutes. And then the bed/mattress had a huge dip in the middle so me and my wife were stuck together in the middle of the bed and I woke up with a bad back having a poor night's sleep.

Pros:

Great alternative to the quite pricey options in the town centre.
Walkable distance to the centre and even from the main station (although I went by cab).

Cons:

All good overall.
Maybe only downside was that there wasn't an opening window with a view outside, just a fix glass overlooking the common area, so the room still felt enclosed within the building.

Pros:

Overall, everything was fine. It’s a good place for the price.

Cons:

The only issues were that the air conditioning was very noisy during the night, making it difficult for us to sleep well, and the bathroom door wouldn’t close properly.

We had a lovely stay in the CoalShed
Pros:

The games made available were enjoyable, the AC was on before we arrived so the room was cool. The honesty bar is a plus and there was a common kitchen, a large fridge with much stuff left over by former customers. Also the price is worth it.

Cons:

The matress was average, there was a hollow in the middle of it. The walls are very thin so you can hear people coming back late.

Top quality accomodation with well thought out facilities.
Pros:

Coalshed had everything we need - came to attend a gig so we needed a place to stay afterwards
The room was a haven from the heat with excellent air conditioning
Very modern fixtures and fittings, very comfortable beds with crisp white bedding, modern coffee making facilities , complimentarty drink, excellent power shower, divine smelling shower gel/ siap/ shampoo/ conditioner, well stocked honesty bar and well equiped communal kitchen. The fact that the owners saw a gap in the market to convert an old garage into such a purposeful accomodation makes it more attractive,
Large airy communal area ideal for larger groups with pool table, table tennis and other games provided

Cons:

This didn’t matter to us (because we arrived by public transport) but there was not many ( if any) car parking areas.
The outside of the building didn’t reflect the quality of the accomodation
