My room turned out to be right next to the extractor fan for the kitchen below me, so at 6.15-6.30 on each of the 3 mornings I was there, I was awoken to the horrible noise coming from outside the window.
It was also very hot in there.
Breakfast:
When you go in to the dining room, you will find the hot counter first.
If, like me, you like a bit of cereal before a fry up, carry on around the corner to the left, you will find cereals, bread to go in the bread warmer (no way on this earth you can call it a toaster as it comes out the same colour as it went in) and hot and cold drinks.
You will have to go back to the hot food counter for a spoon though, fighting your way through the tight squeeze surrounded by everyone else trying to get a morning brew. But hey, you can pick up a croissant or pain au chocolate while you're there.
The hot food; eggs in various forms, scrambled, boiled and fried. Chicken halal sausages and pork non halal sausages that I could see had been served, tried the chicken but it wasn't that nice.
Waffles were really dry, even after a soaking with maple syrup.
Nice selection of fruit and yogurts though.
There was no TV in the rooms, but I had read there was a communal TV lounge, but it appears this is for students during term time only. So take a tablet with you.
But it was cheap for the middle of London at new year, and would probably stay again but with an ensuite at the back of the building.
