Reception keeps very limited hours, but the caretaker is there 24 hours. It's a basic student room, en suite, and shared kitchen - the kitchen was rather dingy but OK. There's a Tesco Metro just along the road that'll sell food, and a couple of bars 5min away. There's a regular daytime bus route outside, and for eveningsnights there are busses on Oxford Road all night.

Great budget accommodation, all you need and 15 mins walk from talk ( well maybe 20 ).

the carpet is dirty.

Well the place is not in a good location for trains or anything but I knew that before booking, but when I arrived Friday night, the guard said I couldn't get internet until Monday which was really bad for me. Then the lock on the apartment door was broken, it was still broken when I checked out but the private room locked. Then I went to do laundry and that you also can't do on the weekend if you haven't already got a card.

This was just a place to crash which did suit me. Kitchen in my block was dirty and had nothing to cook with. The rooms were clean though. Reception was only open at sparatic times throughout the day so was quite hard to ask any questions about the place. Overall i enjoyed the stay.
