This is great for a few days in central London as an independent traveller and just needing a base from which to see the city. The rooms are clean and simply furnished; there is a full kitchen just along the corridor. The only downside is that's it's quite noisy: on some days staff started moving trolleys across the courtyard arond 6 am; there was a group of American students out late on a couple of nights - once after 1 am - and someone practicing the piano until after midnight one evening.

First time using UniversitiyRooms.com and it won't be the last. Everything about the process was straight forward and communications were clear and helpful. The location I chose was perfectly situated for my needs and the room itself was cleaner and more spacious than some hotels I've stayed in. Because this was a short stay I did not use the kitchen facilities. Excellent value for money.

Room lovely. I would like to have breakfast wherever I stay. Noise of teacher/class in courtyard early in the morning, a bit annoying. When I studied in Birkbeck, I stayed in Tavistock Sq., in late 1970s. Enjoy summer. Áine (Anne): Irish.

Accommodation was basic and clean as was the separate shower room. Students in other quarters did congregate sat and sun mornings outside my window in courtyard and we're very noisy. Otherwise a pleasant stay. Staff polite.

Generally good experience in a greet location. Couple of minor annoyances; the shower didn't drain well and the key fob for the main gate didn't work so we had to ring reception every time we arrived and left.

Staff were helpful, room could do with some cosmetic improvements. Would have been good to leave luggage for few hrs on checkout

TamsinH

Very convenient, comfortable, clean accommodation. The young staff at Reception are most helpful

Great value but a pity the quiet after 11pm in the common room wasn’t enforced.
