Great experience guaranteed
Overall it is very good, despite its prices is relatively high, but given its location and environment there is nothing much I can complain about. However, the staff are not very efficient in terms of solving issues and replying email and messages.

Even though it's extremely expensive, it was worth it as a fresher to make friends in a big city like London. Facilities are great and the students you meet will be from a variety of backgrounds studying in different universities.

5-10 minutes walk from Kings Cross station. Room has all the basics but on the pricier side. There’s MyPup service for parcels. Downside is WiFi doesn’t reach the basement where the laundry is so you got to walk upstairs to connect to the app.
