Location is close to the train station. No no-site parking, and free on-street parking is mainly from 8pm - 9am, although a few spots from 6pm - 9am. Be warned that the traffic warden was there from 8:50am. Guy on reception in the evening was friendly and helpful, but the lady on the morning was rather rude and unhelpful when we asked for advice about where we could park the car after 9am. ("I don't drive"?! If you work on a reception desk you would imagine that even if you don't drive yourself, you would be capable of assisting visitors to the city with this fairly basic question...). Auto-sensors in toilets go off too quickly and leave you waving your arms around in the dark whilst trying to locate the toilet roll... Breakfast at £10 seemed rather expensive, and there are some lovely options along Mill Road that I'd recommend instead as long as you don't have a 7am start. The individual lights and phone charging points at each bed were good. The mattresses were plastic covered, so noisy if you were on the bottom bunk. Noise from other guests (banging on doors very late at night/ early in the morning) and room too hot and stuffy, so not a great night's sleep. For a couple, the fees working out at about £67- I'd recommend you splurge another £10 or so and find a B&B alternative with parking, as I don't think this represents good value for money, especially not if you come with a car.
