The Kettle was not cleaned properly. I think the water in this accommodation seems to contain some sediments. Every time I heat the water in the Kettle there is brown residue at the bottom. I am buying mineral water for drinking. And the water tastes different as well. The Microwave had food stains on the top surface of its cavity and its outer surface was greasy. The Main Oven and the Grill were also greasy. I had to clean them before using them. Otherwise the rooms are well provided. Thank You

Seething Wells is well provided . One thing that needs to be attended to is the Water. It leaves a residue when I have boiled it. The Kitchen cabinets need to be changed as the wood is worn out and the hinges cant hold them well.

As a former student resident at Seething Wells during the 2014-2015 academic year; it felt great to be back home. It felt like I never left. It was also nice to visit with the locals of Surbiton!

The porters were extremely friendly and helpful. The shower was cold my first day, and the pillow and comforter were not very comfortable, but otherwise, I was satisfied with the room.

Overall, I had a fine experience staying at Seething Wells. The check-in and check-out procedure was very convenient and easy, and the dorm provided quite good value for the cost.
