Convenient and well-equipped stay

clean room spacious room easy access
the room was clean and spacious. it had an area for making coffee and tea on the mid floor (a nice touch for early mornings). access to the main area with pubs and restaurants was easy, very important for exploring the city. i easily used the park and ride at redbridge as it was near the first stop.
the entrance was a bit inconspicuous, located down a side street, and i had to ask for directions. stairs to the rooms might be challenging with mobility issues.

The location was indeed central. The room was spotlessly clean. All details arrived via email well in advance. The shower had great pressure.

useful air conditioning convenient location extra lounge space
the room featured air conditioning. the location proved convenient with easy access. the shared lounge offered extra space, a coffee machine, and a fridge. i found the air conditioning particularly useful given the weather, and it maintained a comfortable room temperature.
the alley leading to the main door was dark and had potholes. i fell because of this poor maintenance. it was a safety hazard that needs addressing.
