The extensive lower ground floor houses a student bar and games room, quiet study, table tennis and TV rooms. Also available is an inexpensive, coin-operated laundry and ironing room. There is good disabled access.

There are 6 TV/lounges and 8 study rooms equipped with sofas and WiFi access.

There is no internet available in the bedrooms.  You can use the internet on one of the computers in reception for £2 for half an hour.
