Didn’t stay as communication was not the best and we ended up booking elsewhere as the instructions for key retrieval was well after I had let them know when we were arriving. I have proof of phone calls made that Aura say they did not receive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff support was not available initially, once available absolutely terrible service. Room was not cleaned and had other peoples belongings in it when we entered the room. We did not end up staying here as we didn’t feel safe. If we could freely enter a room with other people’s belongings in it, what was stopping someone else from entering the room? Whilst the room was locked, the key we used was given to us by staff members. It was difficult to find the room within the building, incredibly weird setup. A refund was requested due to the room concerns and was not granted.

Great location, comfortable bed and clean bathroom, BUT very poor design in bathroom with bad access to basin (large wall section jutting out about 30cm above), filthy floors, only one double power point with powerboard in our triple room, which tripped when we tried to boil the kettle. Shower hose dropped to lowest level on pole, no tea towel or clean cloth available in kitchen for walking dishes. Only 1 key available for 3 people.

Great location, cheap which explains very poor kitchen facilities (almost no cooking equipment or crockery or cutlery, not even a tea towel to dry dishes, and cloth to wash dishes was dirty). Comfortable and clean bed and bathroom clean and ok.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A very basic room without any window, inside an old building. Air exhaust of the building was noisy all the time like flying in an aircraft. Small Bathroom and kitchenette/ fridge adequate and clean, also very minimalistic. Clean sheets but floors not clean and sticky, can’t have been vacuumed let alone washed for a long time. Gaps between floorboards full of dirt. Would not stay again. Location very handy and central, bus stop opposite building, easy to walk everywhere.
