LSE Rosebery Hall

For families on a budget this is a real good deal, As all people know staying in london is not cheap so getting a saving on your accomodation is a must and leaves more spending money,i had a triple room which was plenty big enough for me and my kids,

The rooms were clean and comfy enough, the toilets were ok but the showers were a little out dated, more of a ball effect than a spray!!!, but they did the job.There is also a tv room and use of the internet and games for kids to play, not many but enough.

The breakfast was exceptional for this budget accomodation, i've stayed in more expensive places than this and got a lot less for my money, as much drink and toast as you want then you can also pick your six items from a wide range of english and continental foods, a real deal!!!

Angel was a lot quieter than we expected although its got loads of places to eat and drink, one gem we found was a vegetarian chinese restaurant on the main street called VEG all you could eat for £6.50, the food was amazing and the staff were so friendly, if you go any where then go here, you will not be dissappointed and a fab price.

All in all this is a lovely place to stay not too noisy and very friendly and helpfull staff, there is also a place to leave your bags if your not departing straight away,

If you love your luxuries then dont stay here, but if your on a budget and dont mind dodgy showers then i would give here a go, we'll be going here again.

I have just returned from my Roseberry Hall experience and it left a lot to be desired. I will say on the plus side the staff were lovely and very helpful and professional. The location is great. It is only about a 10-15 minutes walk from Angel Tube station and it is a lovely area with some great pubs and restaurants. The single room was a nice size and it was clean and had its own sink as well.

In short, if you want to get a decent night sleep and have some level of comfort then this is NOT the place for you. When I booked (I was attending a workshop there hence why I chose this accommodation) they did not tell me that it would be full of college students attending the summer session of the LSE. The noise did not abate until at least 1 am. Logic tells me this is what college students do (at least I sure did!) so if I had known that I would not have stayed there. I have stayed in other college residences and they were not being used for students hence why I didn’t think this would be the case here.

Also, when I was going to my room I was struck by some bad smells in the hall ways although there was no obvious reason for these smells since the rugs appeared to be clean and fairly new. Next, I discovered that there was only one bathroom (2 stalls, 1 shower and a very old looking bathtub) for each gender on the entire hall. I was stunned at how the bin in the ladies was over flowing and how the bathroom had a very strong small of urine. Breakfast, as was mentioned, was large and varied. The temperature was luke warm at best.

This is a great place if these things are not an issue.
