"I left before breakfast "

"AVOID. Difficult to know where to start. This apartment was mis-sold, as it is student accommodation (10 bedrooms per flat). Each guest has shared access to the common room, housing the kitchen and sofa. On check in (after a long on-line book in process (crashing server)), the common room was inhabited with other guests, who were cooking tea. The bins were overflowing and the place generally stank. The actual room that was allocated to me, was situated overlooking a busy duelled road, with a wide full length window, making privacy impossible. You couldn't even go to the toilet without waving to bus passengers (the busses generally held up opposite by traffic lights. The bed mattress was extremely soft, although the pillows and duvet were reasonable. The carpet was heavily stained in multiple places, ,meaning that you couldn't take your shoes off, without picking up god knows what. My room was emptied on the second day of the stay, with the entire contents of my luggage stuck in a cupboard, requiring a housekeeping manager to drive down a release them later that night. The fire brigade were called out after another irate guest had set the alarms off, as he couldn't get into his room. That gave us a chance to converse with some overseas students from the block, who pointed out the multiple blood stain splatters from the previous weekends serious assault in flat 17, where a guest was battered senseless. In 30+ years of travel, the worst stay by a mile."
