Positive Reviews
positive:
Superb central London location
There's no doubt at all that it was the central location that most impressed guests about the residence. In fact, it was almost certainly the main reason for booking here. Guests mentioned that it was situated in a very central position, right opposite a central Tube station, and also Madame Tussaud's, one of London's most popular attractions.
positive:
Some rooms with great views
The building is 20 something storeys high, so it came as no surprise that guests in rooms higher up in the building raved about the views. They definitely enjoyed having a birds-eye view out over the London rooftops.
positive:
Free use if a kitchen
Quite a number of guests were surprised to discover that they had the use of communal kitchens. They had clearly not been expecting this, and were very happy that they could make their own snacks and light meals, and so save themselves a bit of money on eating out.

Problems with the showers
Several guests reported being unhappy with the showers. Some mentioned that they did not have a proper door, and so caused some flooding of the rest of the bathroom. Others said that they were so small that one tended to hit one's elbows on the walls.
negative:
Too much like dorms for some
The accommodation is of course in a student
residence, but it seems that some guests were hoping for a bit more of a luxury
experience than the one they received. In the end, the rooms turned out to be typical
student rooms - small and featuring very basic furniture and amenities
negative:
Mattresses uncomfortable
There were quite a few complaints about the mattresses, with guests indicating that they were obviously cheap and did not offer much comfort.
