Mooie university kamers.

Uitzicht op de tuin. Ruime kamer.

Om 11.00 uur wordt de kamer automatisch afgesloten bij uitchecken. Beetje onpersoonlijk.

Beware... this place is like a maze!

Location

Please note that this is a student hall of residence used as short let during non-term time. Finding the exact location of reception in such a large complex was difficult. In the morning finding the exit took me half an hour. I nearly missed my flight. The place is like a maze.

Generally good enough.

The room generally is comfortable, the bed, the desk, the shower room. The location is very good; a perfect location.

1. The fridge is terrible, not cold enough even though I put it to the strongest. My milk became sour three days before it was due. 2. There is no hairdryer, be sure to bring one for yourself. 3. No public kitchen facilities (pans for example) in public kitchen, so be sure to bring your facilities if you want to cook for yourself.

Top Notch Building

Beautiful, spacious place and refectory on site. Fridge.

Prevented from closing the window when it was chilly and windy. Not able to make a cuppa in the room.

Pleasant

It is what it is - a hall of residence. It is far from palatial and the bed was not particularly comfortable. But it’s a lovely building in a good location and reasonably priced.

Very convenient accomodation with good food, but rooms quite austere.

Living in Scotland I arrived at Kings Cross, so the easily walkable location was ideal. The Square is remarkably peaceful. From the College I could walk to other places on attractive routes, such as Lambs Conduit Street/Great Ormond Street. I had breakfast, evening meals and one lunch at the College. The food was excellent. My room was spacious and clean.

There are (rightly) a lot of fire doors and access control doors with strong closure mechanisms. My room was near a buttery which was well-used in the evening. Together there was quite a lot of loud door noise, although fortunately it did not persist through the night and I slept quite well. Am armchair would have been welcome, but I was able to sit in Freddie's Bar to read one evening.

Short stay in very comfortable student accomodation

I had a great room, it was really spacious, and overlooked the amazing courtyard. The college is also in an amazing location and a very beautiful halls of residence. And it was surprisingly quiet.

the restaurant staff were unfriendly when they realised I was a short stay and they didnt have very good options for people with allergies.

Really wonderful base close to St Pancras/Kings Cross in Bloomsbury.

I am a mature single traveller and I felt really comfortable and safe here. Loved the breakfast/dining/dinner and bar. 24/7 reception. Small fitness centre and pool adjacent. Nuffield Health.

Nothing. Its a uni college. Post graduate students from around the world busy studying and connecting.

Very handy location and room size - would be happy to stay again. Good value.

Location was great, as was the size of the room and price for London. Having a female floor was a bonus and a lift very helpful, as was the sink in the room. Despite it being the first night of Freshers Week there was not much noise - some in the distance and the odd door slamming/conversation. Plenty of room to repack suitcases. Grateful there was heating as it was a cool night. Appreciated the window being open on arrival to let in fresh air. Also appreciated the toiletries. Would definitely stay again if I needed to be in the area.

One of the toilets was blocked but that was due to another user. Bedside lamp didn’t work so I reported it on checkout - another lamp worked so wasn’t an issue. Be aware that it is a hall of residence so there may be others who don’t realise it is considerate to close the fire door to their room rather than let it close by itself.

Ubique! Back to being Young!

The Place itself is unique. And the fact being a student for a couple of nights living the vibe of an English college was fantastic!

Nothing!

Excellent stay for a single person on a business trip.

A good size room for a single person, well equipped with a desk, closet and bathroom. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location halfway between St Pancras station and the City is very good and quiet with a park in front of it. I perceived no noise from the other guests (postgraduate students). I didn't take advantage of the dining hall which is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Street noise from people talking in front of the building and parking cars enters the room through the single pane windows. More importantly these windows will need replacement for a better thermal insulation in the light of climate change.

Perfect base for research trip (close to British Library)

Beautifully and centrally located on Mecklenburgh Square, good size room with desk, helpful staff and nice cafe/bar space.

The shared bathrooms were frequently out of order...

Great price for the location

The room was much bigger than I expected with a sink in the room and the bathroom out in the hall. The internet was reliable and fast. Good to do some work as there is also desk in the room. The building has great atmosphere. The staff was friendly. Really good price for the location.

The showers could be nicer but they do the job.

If want to sleep properly do not recommend.

It was close to kings cross Large desk

The shower was broken had to tell reception on second day to get repaired, the toilet wasn’t cleaned properly. No soap in bathroom. The mattress was not of good quality and only one thin pillow was provided. The mini fridge would intermittently make very long buzzing all the time and kept me awake. On first day with windows open could smell cigarette smoke. Late afternoon on first day a lady let herself into my room. Whoever above kept getting up all night thumping around. Slept very poorly.

rather poor

The location is convenient for traveling by train.

The room was rather run down. Clearly used. Dirty walls, damages in the bathroom, rather smelly toilet and the like. Pretty noisy too, with people below the window in the middle of the night.

Terrific -- great value for money.

People were great, location is great, buildings are lovely. Cafeteria/Great Hall are great. Terrific value for money.

Mattress was terrible -- cheap/spongy. Pillows were like rocks. i'm guessing they could upgrade this pretty cost-efficiently and satisfy customers enormously.
