+ Value for money, friendly staff, I only use bed and the loo but I know all the facilities all around the building, many options I'll keep repeating while I need to stay around Brixton area
− Apparently are those timings (night) where there is not stuff and next morning you realise how chaotic people can behave due that ,but nothing to do, it is what it is
