We have stayed at this PPTY for over 20 yrs. Always enjoyed it, but it is getting very tired. Just needs a bit of tidying. Curtains are reasonably new but not hung properly. Not enough crockery or towels for the amount of occupants in room. However, l would stay again as the rooms are spacious and the price is rght.

Dishes etc not washed properly, no suitcase table, to dutiesboil the water jug you have to turn off the heater, as every appliance plugs into one multi box. No kitchen sink to wash dishes along dedicated area for making hot drink or any other kitchen duties.

Step back in time!

Apartment was a bit tired and dated. Not well equipped, had a kitchen but no forks, had to ask for them. Very limited pans. No washing up liquid, tea towels and to cap it all no can opener. Upon opening the fridge there were pieces missing so were unable to store anything in the door. Would have rather booked a place with no advertised kitchen, so I knew I would have to eat out.

Needs maintenance and service checkup

Needs maintenance and kitchen sink tap was incorrectly labelled so hot water came out of the cold tap - extremely dangerous! No hair dryer, no sharp knife but cockroaches in the bedroom and tv remote was randomly programmed so on/off was mute!

The room was okay. The shower was really low on the wall, so doesn’t help if you are tall like me. There was no fan in the bathroom so everything fogged up. The toilet cistern was dripping all night. TV reception was pixelated on all channels. The heater had a broken stand.

Run down

The room was old and run down. The curtains were falling off the railings. The entire room wasn’t a great place to stay, I will never return and if I could have left immediately upon entering the room I would have done so. NOT value for money at all!

The property seemed nearly empty, yet we were given a room in a cold dark corner, next to the skip. The condensation was impressive. There was not enough cutlery for the number of people the room catered for. As at 6 am, the looked door popped open of its own accord! Unsafe. Stay somewhere else.

Ok for price, just needs a few things.

Office is not manned, Need to call and then they get someone to come see you. The unit we stayed in was tidy, but quite old. The stair and doors squeaked quite loudly. No Cutting board, only one small dull cutting knife, no vegetable peeler, no grater. Had free washing machine, and there was some washing powder there. One dryer did not work (discovered this when i returned 40 mins later. the other one did work. Had issue using Netflix on the TV the 3rd and 4th night (own account), but had worked first couple nights.
