Tidy comfortable but tired accommodation- price reflective so that’s ok. Staff was nice to Deal with and if I had some constructive criticism it would be please fix the front door lock and keep the shower curtain updated at all times, no one wants to shower with pink/red/black mould on it shower curtain. A cheap fix by replacing it would make a difference. Overall pleasant experience

stayed in studio room was a bit outdated visible mold on walls and around window joinery windows hard to close and open probably just old, visible patch jobs on wallpaper to keep it sticking to wall, shower head was cracked so water sprayed out onto toilet as well as body, shower curtain also a bit moldy and did not cover shower area well enough so bathroom was pretty soaked after a shower. Room also never serviced for new towels or taking rubbish away. TV and Wi-Fi also very slow and buffered, check in and check out were easy. Price was pretty good for area and what you get.

No one in reception - had to phone to get the key and wait while they located someone to deliver it. Booked for two people and there was only one towel - the staff member looked surprised when we asked for a second one. Looked for a power point to plug in the bedside lamp but there was none (did find a dirty sock from a previous occupant). The bed was comfortable but staff service was non existent.

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.

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.

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.
