Quiet street, nice friendly staff, very reasonable rates, clean, own cooking facilities so i didnt have to get take out every night...actually its quite hard to find fault 5*
Absolutely disgusting. Smelt like human piss HORRENDOUSLY. Carpet was miss coloured from stains. Burn marks on blanket. Bed was floor level. Smelt like fresh current cigarette even tho there’s no smoking signs. Would absolutely not stay here!!!!!!! My clothes all smelt the next day. I backpacked Thailand and nothing was this gross.

There was no heating on during my stay; the room was cold. The TV on the wall had no nearby socket to plug it into. The lamp on the table had no socket to plug it into. Two of the pictures on the wall were shocking.
The curtains were back to front: the right side faced out, and the lining faced the room. Moreover, they were really thin with lots of human hair between the lining and the curtain.
Booked rooms here at last minute for family.Was pleasantly surprised …… rooms were lovely and beds were very comfortable,bedding very fresh.The full house was spotlessly clean….this is a massive compliment as cousin is a professional cleaner! Decor nice,everything you need really,definitely return.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was excellent value for money and the system for entry was very organised. Its a shame my bed sheets where dirty and the duvet had a brown stain which spoilt my stay.
Love the quietness of the hotel, also the self service option, but the management need to always follow up on constomers coming in to stay. Like sending a map location,from location close to the apartment.
The property itself was well kept, clean, and had good utilities. Parking was not at all clear, since it seemed to be in a permit-only area so I parked about 10 minutes away on foot. Strange area to stay in, but again, the place itself was nice and well kept.
I did not end up staying as the room had no proper ventilation but just one tiny window on top. It was stinking. It was a tiny room. I left. I need a refund
No complaints. Just a Suggestion please. I could not find a hand wash either in the bathroom sink or the Kitchen Sink. I had to use the shower Gel in the bathroom to wash my hands. It would be nice to have a hand-wash please. Would defo help guests like me,

Disliked: Room comfort
it was hard to find the right door on the street and then enter the code on the door as it was difficult to understand. the bed frame was very creaky and there was not even a lamp in the room. the bed was comfortable and the pillows were also soft. room had a good amount of plug sockets and a nice window on the roof. overall not too bad but improvements could be made
