Free parking was fantastic. Staff at reception was great. Room smell due to old carpet. Better if they get rid of or use frequent carpet steam cleaning. Cleanliness was mediocre.

Right place, wrong time

This is value for money accommodation walking distance from the city centre & the entertainment/food areas at South Bank. We had the unusual occurrence of the fire alarm going off which was triggered by nearby council road works, the concern was there seemed to be no onsite assistance as to what the original problem was so people were left sitting around @ 11:00pm for quite a long time without knowing if there was a danger or not. Hopefully there was a lesson learnt by the management.
