IQ Student Accommodation for a London Trip

Hello,


I am looking at staying in London for a couple of nights during the summer and this place is offering rooms for £55 a night, but I cant find any reviews for them anywhere, which worries me a little.

Should I just book it, I mean I can always come home if its bad, I'm only just over an hour away by train.


Thanks for looking.
Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.

    Student accomodation is often good value in the summer holidays as they are usually in central locations. It will usually be basic, clean accomodation. Just googling this accomodation it seems it only opened last year so this may well be the first time it is rented out to the general public, which may account for the lack of reviews. There is a video on youtube for the Shoreditch one.

    They're student rooms, they won't be plush but it's an OK price.

    Also try trivago - I spend just £20 more than that on the Olympic Opening night I got a 4* right on Tower Bridge
