Arrived at opening time to find a shut gate and fellow visitors talking through the gate to be told its "Online booking only we can let you in but you will miss the video", which is not what the website states. Obviously lots of stairs. Caught a few moments of the usual cold war video you see at this place then taken literally into three rooms. I was politely told off for leaning on the wall and being told to not touch anything. The bunker has a down stairs it seems but you really don't see anything and it's cramped tour. It's really one to miss sadly. Hopefully they can open up more to the public and perhaps try to make it more accessible. Yup one to miss.
