Review and ratings
Han B
The rooms are good for the price. However two days there definitely enough for me. Staff speak about other people very loudly (other members of staff I assume as they seem to know a lot about them). What they talk about is very innapropriate and I wouldn't like to work somewhere like that. Couldn't imagine being a student here and getting on the wrong side of them, must be very uncomfortable. Can't fault the rest of the staff, just two female staff who let the team down. (unsure why you are deleting my review)?
