“I thought it felt safe, it was fairly clean and I would stay there if needed.
“If you’re travelling with a bunch of friends to London, seven of you could book a bed each and have an entire private room for just £10 a night each.”
Viewers were left either alarmed or impressed by the footage.
One person said: “Same price as a pint in London.”
A second person added: “The jail looks more comfortable and safe.”
A third viewer said: “Erm, that’s prison sir.”
Another person added: “£300 a month in central London.”
And a fifth viewer exclaimed: “I barely get a coffee and a croissant for £10 in London, that’s a great place and price. Even if it was a bit grubby, that would still be a steal.”
