Excellent location and potential to be a fantastic place to stay but needs some upgrading
Pros:

Location was fantastic for access to the city via tram or bus, and with local eateries and shops nearby. The ensuite bedroom and shared kitchen/lounge meant we could chat with friends. Fridge for milk and breakfast facilities.

Cons:

On arrival, it is self check-in, which is fine as we had the codes but there was no floor plans at the entrance so you knew where your apartment was, and it took some time to find.

Toilet seats in both ours and our friends room were semi-broken. There was no bin in one bathroom for females to dispose of sanitary products. Floor to ceiling windows that did not open in bedroom which meant the rooms were furnaces. No instructions to operate aircon and aircon was highly inefficient and kept turning itself off so very disturbed sleep due to heat in room. Mattresses in both rooms needing replacing.

Hosts did not answer the phone calls on arrival regarding parking as none of the IT links worked that were emailed.

It was very good value and a great location for transport
Pros:

The location and the price. The bed and shower were both very good. Although I had no need of them, the lounges and kitchen and laundry were well equipped and maintained.

Cons:

The TV could have worked( although not a big issue for me)
Decor of room a little tired
Room got quite hot, pity no air con just a vent axial - but the weather was especially hot

Pros:

Can't answer that question. This is due to being given wrong code for door. And then no way of contacting anyone

Cons:

The whole experience

We were satisfied and apart from the entrance code to the building not working everything was ok.
Pros:

Although basic accommodation it was good value and we new what we were booking.It was clean and the facilities were adequate The shower was good. The key safe worked well when we eventually got to our room.

Cons:

We couldn't get in to the building as the code we were given was wrong. We had to call to someone who happened to be walking about inside and they opened the door for which we were grateful. This in itself produces a potential security issue. The toilet seat was broken and the bed was not a double bed so we were cramped.

THIS COMPANY AND STAFF ARE PURE EVIL
Pros:

I love that one day soon, I will success it putting this abject rabid vermin out of business. They are pure filth .. they stole £234 from me without the slightest hint or remorse & it looks like Booking.com dont care..

Cons:

This company & the people representing it have committed fraud & lied to me at every stage. They must be treated as criminals & DO NOT BOOK WITHN THEM THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE & INSIST THAT ITS OK TO GIVE PHONE NUMBERS THAT DO NOT FUNCTION & DOOR ACCESS CODES THAT ARE ALSO DONT WORK. I WAS LEFT ALONE AT ALMOST 11PM AT NIGHT WITH NO ROOM OR BUILDING ACCESS 200 MILES FROM HOME & NABLE TO FIND ACCOMMODATION. THEY ARE BEING INVESTIGATED BY BANK & POLICE FRAUD !!

Good for professional person to stay for a few days.
Pros:

the bathroom could do with some pegs to put your clothes on as there is no place to put your towel / night clothes / change of clothes after your shower.

You could also do with curtains instead of only venetian blinds. I'm sure i'm not the the only one who likes complete darkness when trying to sleep. But otherwise good

Cons:

Overcharging for parking @ £10 per night! You can find some street level parking areas for free (from 5pm to 9am) not far from the Graduation Studios.

Unpleasant heat spoilt the whole experience
Pros:

Good room, great location clean

Cons:

The room was nearly 40 Centigrade with no windows and no A/C. The phone number I was given to use was out of order and the AI bot on WhatsApp continued to ask the same questions, never remembering previous conversations. It said it would urgently escalate. No one got in touch

Overall disappointing. Communication was extremely poor but room tolerable for a couple of nights.
Pros:

The room itself was fairly clean. The bed was fine. Shower had good pressure and temp.

Cons:

The bin in the common area was overflowing. The toilet seat even didn’t fit the toilet making it uncomfortable and my towel nearly fell into the bowl! Said they would provide bodywash but didnt. The door code changed overnight and when I messaged to get the new one, i didn’t receive a response until i had checked out. I only managed to get in because I happened to try to get in at the same time as others so was able to slip in - evidently an issue with security. Additionally they didn’t identify when booking the room there would be a £200 security deposit! They sent 14 emails faffing around with broken links to get me to pay it and do the ID check. They asked for my email multiple times despite me already providing it. They promised to send through text but never did - it was overall just really frustrating and unclear what was going on.
