Really great location. Room really clean, but very tired. Shared bathrooms were fine and clean. Crazy hot in the loft room, had a fan but the stand was all broken. There is NO on street parking as suggested. Nearby parking is way, way more than the 11.50 mentioned. I parked a mile away on a street with no restrictions as we were there for two days parking would have been about £60. If game at millennium stadium nearby parking closes too.
