I was not able to confirm my stay on the Guest portal in advance of my stay. The hosts then got in touch a day before I was due to arrive to let me know that my booking would be cancelled. Apart from incurring the additional costs of securing alternative accommodation at short notice I am yet to receive a refund.

Location
Room was stuffy and very hot. Aircon was useless. Two loud fans pushing hot air around. The bed linen was not changed. I brought only the bed problem to staff attention who were apologetic and very helpful.

Location was good
Check in was awful. Took hours and receptionist clearly couldn’t care less. Room lacked even hand soap and towels and bedding was not clean. My ID was not checked once on check-in, so couldn’t be less confident about security of the building. After finally getting the documents checked, we were told we couldn’t check in after 10pm- the receptionist explicitly said we could. After a back and forth we were able to check in later but horrendously stressful and disorganised. Not a single person was able to check in successfully for the hour we were sat there waiting

Amazing location, surprisingly quiet given how central it is. The room was spacious and comfortable, with excellent kitchen facilities. Staff were polite and welcoming, and the on-site gym was a real bonus. Great overall stay. Great price. Great quality toilet paper.
The windows couldn’t be opened, which made it uncomfortable in the heat. The cleanliness could have been better, and small things like only receiving part of a toilet roll and nearly empty soap on arrival were disappointing.

Location, good accessibility, free coffee until 10:30 a.m. The kitchen is well equipped.
Dirty everywhere. The floor is not washed, there is dust on the windowsill, and the shower had to be washed because there was someone else's hair in it. I stayed for 2 nights, and the mountain of garbage in the kitchen was never cleaned. Dirty dishes (although new) on all surfaces had to be washed because of fears that pests would get in. Very dirty floor in the kitchen. In general, it is a pity that everything is so bad. The apartment could be one of the best in the city, but this needs to be worked on.

Convenient location and cheap
This place is not fit for staying or living long term.
There is zero ventilation. The ventilation vent is useless. There was a small fan provided and I had to request for one more for us to get any sleep.
The room is very dusty and my dust allergies kept me up. Bins were also not cleaned and room was not cleaned that well, I wiped the tables and floors myself before using the room for the night.
In the morning when the fans were not directly blowing at our face it was extremely stuffy even with two fans.
It’s ridiculous how this building design was even approved for long term student stays. The lack of ventilation is hazardous to human health. I can’t imagine students cooking in the studio without an option to even open the window.
The people that designed and approved this building design obviously did not think of the students well being. Because just by the aesthetics you cannot tell how bad this place is.
The location is very convenient but that’s all.

Ideal location and low price, don't really think you'll be able to find much better on those fronts. Having a kitchen and a fridge at this price point is unheard of realistically. Room was clean enough on arrival too.
Was a bit too hot, not unbearable or anything but the place could do with some windows that can be opened or a proper AC system. A fan was provided which was helpful. Slept fine in the end anyways.

There is NO air conditioning & NO ability to open the windows. In weather over 15 degrees C, you WILL cook alive. DO NOT stay here.

Very good location. Nice sized room and kitchen.
Rooms were warm, ventilation system didn't work great. Kitchen bins were not emptied by cleaners.
8.0 / 10.0
The staff was excellent, so friendly and helpful! The building offers great facilities, including a gym and study spaces (bonus points for the coffee machine, which was free to use in the morning!)
The ventilation in the rooms was awful; we couldn't open the windows at all, which made the room unbearably hot during the summer heatwave. This was also a problem when cooking, as I couldn't air out the smell or any smoke. We were given fans, which did help alleviate the situation.
7.0 / 10.0
Staff was amazing and understanding. Bed and shower was very comfortable and shower was easy yo use. I liked having 2 pillows, towels were clean, toilet paper was provided and area was quiet. Being able to take food into your room is a plus, easy to check in and check out, floor plan is easy to navigate and find your room. hair dryer tjru provided had different tips for different hair types.
It was unbearably hot, i couldnt sleep due to how hot I felt even with the small fan they provided on. Room wasnt very clean, especially the bathroom had quite dirty spots on it. Heat was very bad.

Really good location and cheap price but description unclear I see the listings now have changed now after i complained. Description of what I rented was 'apartment'. Was expecting it to be halls of residence but self contained. Glad to see this has changed. People on front desk seemed nice.
Description was unclear hopefully its been changed now my room was insanely hot as windows sealed and window looked out level with common space seating. Accommodation is halls of residence with shared kitchen. This wasn't clear on the description of property, when arriving kitchen dirty and used. From description it said private apartment with cooking facilities. Was actually en suite room with access to a shared kitchen which is different. It was really really unbearably hot no windows open. Room was clean but i didn't stay it was so so hot and uncomfortable, poor students... I booked into a hostel nearby a private room where you could open the window and shared kitchen was clean. i ended up out of pocket very annoying but impossible to sleep and work there with the heat.

The accommodation is only for students which is not mentioned in the policy page on booking .com. they took my money and refused to reimburse me.I am not a student and so should not have booked OR been charged. When I phoned the accommodation I was told to contact Booking.com I contacted them and was told that they have not replied and Zi should contact the accommodation. Both Accommodation and Booking.com have been useless in this instance and I am still £84 out of pocket.

The room was large and there was a good shared kitchen and large bath and shower. The desk was also great and the TV was good.
The room was very hot and there's no way to open a window but for a short stay there were no issues.

The location, had a kitchen and nice shower with bathroom.
The air flow was horrible, we couldn’t sleep at all through the night as the room was 30C. We were in the highest floor with the hottest temperatures.

It was close to the venue and cheap considering the location.
Holy mother of God the heat inside the room was unbelievable. The other reviews out there are correct - there is virtually zero heat management inside the room and you are therefore at the mercy of the weather. The windows are unopenable. The "air conditioning" is in fact a vent which is connected upstream of an extractor fan unit, like you'd see in a bathroom. These are designed to draw condensate out of a humid area rather than cool the air; in other words, they do next to nothing in a hot room. I'm guessing this system was sold to the building developer as a cheaper alternative to typical AC, but it really isn't suitable for human habitation in warmer months. Across my two nights in this accomodation I got ~5-6 hours sleep as it was just too hot, which is not ideal when you have to attend and present at a scientific conference. Terrible.

The staff I interacted with were nice and friendly. Bunch of good reviews have popped up since last week (when there were no reviews), so perhaps I was unlucky with the two rooms I saw.
Room wasn’t ready when I arrived (despite it being after check in time) so had to wait 1/2 hour (strange, but not the end of the world). The first room I was mistakenly put in (weird mix up where they thought I was a different person who was also due to check in that day?) had sockets hanging off the walls, and a dirty kitchen. Went down to reception to say I’d been put in the wrong room. Waited another 1/2 hour for that to be sorted (they were nice about it though, thankfully!)
The second room (which was the type I’d booked!) was dusty. It also didn’t have a bottom sheet on bed, or hand soap in kitchenette or bathroom. That would have been manageable, but the real problem was the lack of ventilation. The windows didn’t open and the air conditioning unit didn’t work. Incredibly hot, and difficult to breathe. I left after one night, during which I didn’t sleep at all.
I feel sorry for the students who live here full time.

HORRIBLE.
NO RESERVES AQUI !!!
TE ENGAÑAN, TE COBRAN EL DINERO PERO TE RECHAZAN COMO ESTUDIANTE POR LO QUE PIERDES DESPUES TU DINERO COMO ME OCURRIÓ A MI. ADEMAS PERSONAL GROSERO Y OBTUSO QUE NO ATIENDE A RAZONES.
A mi me robaron 179€, no me los devolvieron por mas que les insistí pir mi error en pagar anticipadamente. Tienen demasiadas exigencias en la documentación que tienes que enviar para demostrar que eres estudiante. Yo lo envié hasta 3 veces y aun así el mismo dia que entraba a las 11 de la noche aun estaba pendiente de revision por parte de la direccion de la residencia lo que hizo que no me pudiera alojar y pase la noche mas horrible de mi vida buscando hotel por toda la ciudad hasta casi las 5 de la madrugada y lo peor es que se quedaron con mi dinero.
NO RESERVES AQUI, PUEDES SER RECHAZADO COMO ESTUDIANTE Y TE ROBAN EL DINERO.
JAMAS TE LO DEVUELVEN. !!!
Ya le ocurrió a varias personas, por favor leer las reseñas que tienen.
No entiendo como Booking sigue trabajando con ellos. Es inaudito. Son ladrones de dinero de jovenes y no tan jovenes.
HORRIBLE TODO
POR FAVOR NO RESERVES AQUI
TE ROBAN TU DINERO Y NO TE DAN ALOJAMIENTO. NO ADMITEN A MUCHOS DE LOS ESTUDIANTES Y ENTONCES TE QUEDAS SIN TU DINERO

Nulla, disorganizzati, incompetenti e mendaci
Ci hanno lasciato fuori l hotel senza fare il check in, abbiamo dovuto contattare Booking.com per il refund e nuova sistemazione. Viene da sé che ci hanno fatto perdere una serata.
