Clean room, great extras in the room & a really good breakfast. My only issue was that I could hear people talking in the room next to me until they went to sleep, which was at 1:30am, so the soundproofing is a bit of an issue.

Helpful staff, clean and affordable, in particular since it included full English breakfast for two. Should be quie good for young people. Mais inconvence, in particular for the not so young is that there are no elevator and the second floor is quite a climb. Room also needed some updates to provide modern USB ports.
