My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights over the Easter period and paid about £60 a night, which given the time of year was very reasonable.
The accomodation itself was nice (we had a private bathroom, which I would definately recomend paying for), it was a decent size, good decor, nice bathroom and was cleaned and made up every day.
Breakfast is simple- cornflakes, coffee, OJ, and a pastry- but that is all we would normally eat anyway and to us, it was better than wasting time in the morning finding a cafe when we could be sight seeing or shopping! Also, it is in a private kitchen area, no one watching over you etc so that was really good too.
In terms of location from the centre, you've got to catch the Metro and travel 8 stops, but it is all on the same metro pass so you do not have to pay extra to get here. This takes 15-20 minutes.
You also have to walk along what is a bit like a half finished motorway slip road, although it was not quite as busy as one. In my opinion, a single female traveller would find this experenience pretty daunting, or if you had a very young family- not particularly pushchair friendly.
The accomodation did definately have a major downside. Namely, there are no carpets and the walls are paper thin, hence it is EXTREMELY NOISY. Also, i think people may live there in the flats- the people above us were very loud, pretty selfish italians who shouted when they talked and had the TV up exceptionally loud until the small hours. There are also various generator sounds going on throughout the night. If you stay here, make sure you bring an ipod or something or you will never get to sleep.
Oh yes, and when we left at 6am to catch an early flight we were locked in the main gate, so we had to scale an 8 foot fence, with suit cases!
Generally though, it was an OK place to stay. It is cheap compared to the rest of the City's hotels, it has conveneient breakfast and is clean. Provided you have an MP3 player, it is generally an OK place to stay!
