    Constant leaks and flooding of rooms, despite the entire building not having hot water concerningly often. Lifts were constantly broken, security guards were unhelpful and unfriendly, and UCL charges exorbitant rates for all of this. (Almost) every other student accommodation is much nicer.

    One of UCL's student dormitories. Very convenient as it is close to the shopping and cultural streets in London.

    Didn't even have a ceiling light. Wouldn't recommend staying here in the week unless you have a room that doesn't face into the street, because many offices can see through those bedroom windows straight to your bed. Bathrooms are shared but fine. Common space was nice, and staff were nice. Agency staff didn't know what they were doing. Rooms were quite sad, and you can get a much nicer and more private room in a hotel for very little more

    Stayed here due to location and because sohostel getting a refurb. Arrived at 4. Room was wide open no bedding of towels or anything. Had to go back down and change rooms. Went for shower was cold. Spoke to staff who said would get fixed. Three days in a row still no hot water. £70 a night and no hot water in shower or taps unacceptable. Staff not interested. Mattress so hard had to sleep ontopof duvet. Again spoke to staff nothing done. I always stay in hostels etc when visiting but sadly apart from location which is great experience was really bad. If you want a bed for a night then fine. But I would lay slightly more for a decent hostel.
