Good for the price, location great for atena (was seeing OMD). Little tired but clean & practical. Mattress was a bit thin but ok. Overall, for an economic stay in the City Centre, this was a great coice & i would recommend definitely.

The wrens, not a bad place for the money on the build up to Christmas. Room was simple just could have done with some TLC. Booked in at the bar, staff were friendly, although I asked if there was an iron and board I could use and I didn’t see anyone after asking! All in all, cheap simple place to stay with plenty going on around you

Did the job
It’s in a good spot , the decor needs updating on the room we stayed . A bit grim in parts . Yes it is noisy outside , you get a key for the side gate to get in after hours which is very tricky to open , especially after a few beers . We actually started to panic thinking we couldn’t get in . But the mrs finally did it but not sure how . Then it’s up the metal fire exit stairs. Bed was comfortable enough . It was ok for our 1 night stay

Incredibly convenient and good value clean basic accommodation with a nice view. Some maintenance needed in bathroom fittings. Perfect to crash after a night on the town - not so much if you need an early night. Lots of late-opening bars in the area and the music reverberating through the building is LOUD. Would be nice to have a more soundproof door as well, as I was treated to every detail of the domestic that erupted at 2am in the corridor outside. Even so, I would definitely go back.

Would Recommend
First time staying, had the apartment near the top of the building. Using the fire escape to get in and out was really handy, particularly as it opens near the Belgrave!

Lord of the Flies, but in a handy location
We needed a place to get our heads down and sleep after attending a show, before driving home the next day. So, when we checked in, we noted there were one or two signs of tiredness (and scruffiness, to be fair, when I noticed my towel was frayed and had a hole in - but at least it was clean) but it would do what we needed. But while it proved suitable to get our heads down without either breaking the bank or having to travel too far, a good night's sleep simply wasn't possible. Due to its location, it's naturally noisy outside, exacerbated by the fact there was an open external door next to our room, which is kept that way to allow out of hours access via a locked gate. But the general city centre noisiness is something that you can tune out of and wasn't a problem in itself. However, the other guests charging around rowdily in the early hours (on and off until around 5.30am) really wasn't acceptable and meant sleep was hugely deserved throughout. I totally accept that guests and accommodation providers alike can get unlucky with the behaviour of others, but the reason I raise this is that there wasn't any way that we were aware of to raise the issue as it was happening and there was certainly no effort by anyone who worked there (if there was even anyone on site) to deal with the matter. Overall, the location is very handy, the room was ok, but the place lacked any sort of presence that stopped it turning into a production of Lord of the Flies throughout the night.

Bedbugs in my hotel room. Noticed one as was about to fall asleep. Obviously, did not end up sleeping here. Ive stayed in 100s of hotel rooms for work and this is the first time I'd encountered this. I disposed of the clothes I was wearing and made a mental note to never visit this place again. Disgusting.

First off, the room itself was absolutely fine for the price. It had a nice view out over the street. The reason for my low score relates purely to security, which is very important to me as a solo female traveller. I was given 2 keys, 1 for the room itself and one for the gate at the back of the property. The room door locked fine but did not feel overly sturdy. The fire door leading out on to the fire escape stairs down to the gate I was informed is 'never locked' because the gate was supposed to be always locked. However the back gate lock does not work, it was open when I returned to my room and still open when I left in the early hours. Anyone could have wandered in off the street and had free access to the upstairs area of the property. As a result I didn't feel relaxed or particularly safe. I'd want to know this was sorted before I'd consider recommending or staying here again.
