Run down and pretty dirty feeling, the rooms and common spaces at the hotel have definitely seen…read morebetter days and bathrooms were a bit gross (hairs, stains). Basically, it feels like a dorm that isn't very well maintained - which I'm pretty sure is exactly what it is. Staff is fine - not really that engaged, but do their job fine. Location is pretty good - not at the very center of town, but definitely convenient - only a quick underground ride to most major attractions. Lots of bars and restaurants in the neighborhood.

I feel that for such a modern looking room my whole experience could have been way better. First,…read moreeverything is small. I was no fan of the bathroom. I was on a Ef college tour on my stay here. This place had to type of air conditioning. The room was so hot and it was summer time! Getting to my room was a hassle as some doors require and additional keycard scan or button press. The view from my room was so beautiful but apart from that I can't really mention anything else positive.

My experience at The Curve (mid-November 2016): burglary and unhelpful management…read more I had my laptop stolen from my locked room. I had reported the case to the police as burglary. The security of my room was compromised by the broken corridor door. The management was extremely unhelpful and did not fix the broken corridor door even after the burglary. I would not stay in a place where I feel unsafe.

Claredale House is what you can expect a housing hall to be like. It's pretty much like living in…read morethe dorms if you're from America. Tight nit spaces, One kitchen, One bathroom shared between 4 people or 2 bathrooms, bigger kitchen shared between 6. I've lived in these Halls for about seven months now and it's been quite an experience. When I first arrived it was very fun, I got to meet all my flat mates right off the bat who are all quite lovely and a lot of the people around me as well so it started out quite fun. We would have nights out in London, exploring the night life together and just enjoying getting to know another side of the world. The only thing that really is quite the annoyance is the thin walls and the loudness that comes with living with people of all different ages and maturity levels. Sure, it's college/Uni, it's the time to party, rage it up, go out and drink, but when you have class at 9 the next morning and there is a party next door, it's not the best place to be. However, in terms of security they have a great system, a code that enables you to get into the gates and it's an easy walk to the tube or the bus when you need to go to Uni. It comes with a fridge and a microwave, stove, oven, sink and bins, but that's all you get, all the rest you have to supply yourself which is typical for halls. The staff is both really nice and helpful when it comes to moving in and getting around to places. They also have a laundry room with about 6 washers and 6 dryers and it only takes an hour to do both. The internet is consistently good and you get your own room as well which is lovely. The only reason why I give it 3 stars is due to the thinness of walls, the tight nit spaces and that there isn't a common room to hang in besides the kitchen. Other than that though, it's worth the rent and it's a place to live that's close to what you need.

Just perfect! The location is absolutely great, especially if you feel drawn to up-and-coming…read morehipster places, great parks (such as London Fields and Victoria Park) and the beautiful Regent´s Canal. I felt completely safe all the time, even coming back alone in the night. The office staff is so friendly and helpful with everything and you can even have your parcels delivered there so that, in case you are not home when the postman stops by, you won´t have to go to a pick-up place, but can even get your parcel from the office on the weekend or in the evening. I am really happy to have chosen Clarendale for a summer stay and would definitely come again.

Having found a nice little voucher on KGB Deals, I thought that taking in the sites of London from…read morethe 32nd floor of the Nido Student Village near Liverpool Street would be something I couldn't say no to. For a mere £19 I grabbed myself and my other half 4 drinks and a plate of tapas totalling to over £100 usually. Booking was mandatory as this event is highly sought after, so we were lucky to get our first choice. Thursday nights are obviously the start of the weekend now a days! My other half, TW, had 2 beers whilst I spoilt myself with a couple of peach and strawberry Bellini's, which were quite lush, but half the size of those you pay for. This is obviously expected but still shocked me slightly. The views certainly made up for it. The tapas wasn't anything to write home about, but was enjoyable enough. We did have to pop to grab some bagels, but we hadn't eaten since lunch time, and have large appetites. The views were obviously incredible, but the venue lacked atmosphere, maybe because it was only half past 6 and the working world hadn't fully churned out yet but if I were you I'd save your pennies for a rainy day of you haven't got a voucher.
