compact but satisfactory
It was fine for what I needed just a sleeping area for a quick stop over. Having a kitchen was great. For me the only issue was the lack of parking. Although there was secure parking within the premises it didn't appear to be available to me. Free on street parking was available over the weekend within walking distance but not sure about week days.

Put a heater behind reception
That's no parking here. Visitors need to park in Asda across the road, and use the Just park app to pay for it.
Fully expected everything to be basic, and it was, with everything working ok. Decent shower in the room. The welcome at reception was, well, not the friendliest.

Better attitude and improvements needed
Unfortunately on arrival the person in charge of the desk was busy socialising with fellow students and got oneself locked out of the office.
It took quite a while and a polite nudge to be able getting into the room after travelling all the way from Edinburgh down to Newport in Wales.
Having stated at similar campuses,this should offer more value for money.
Also,next door was a very inconsiderate mature student with loud noises if various media until midnight and beyind,then at 6.40am playing loud music.Rested?

Good option
Check-in was easy. The personnel were always nice and helpful. However, when I checked in, the room I was assigned was dirty, and had never been made by housekeeping. That was messy, but easily solved. It seemed like a smaller room that the one I was re-assigned.
There's a lobby area and laundry access but you have to download an app and create an account in order to use the washer and dryer.
It's an okay area at night but super safe during the day.
Love that there is a water refill and hot water station with coffee and tea products in the lobby.
I was able to leave my luggage for a few hours after checking out. And it feels super safe inside the building because I needed to scan my fob in any area I accessed (usually about 5 fob areas on the way to your room). The shared kitchen area is big and there's mugs and some utensils your can use, but mine didn't have a knife so there went my plans to cut up some fruits. There's a microwave and a big refrigerator you can use.
The main issues I had were the following: no safe in the room. The shower was a horrible experience since the curtain was too short and there was no barrier separating it from the bathroom floor so the water flooded all over the place while the shower curtain kept sticking to me as I showered AND I could hear any snore or movement from my neighbor at night. And I'm sure he could hear me breathing too.

Located next to a major road bridge if, as we were, allocated a third floor room, the same level as the road it is very difficult to get a good nights sleep. In addition the walls are paper thin. Staff very nice and tried to help but due to limited rooms were unable to move us to the other side of the building.
