No signal for tv no tea or coffee but clean room and very comfortable bed. The area is quiet so had a great nights sleep. Couldnt connect to the wifi
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.

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
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.
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
The bedroom and hall carpets were badly stained.No light in the bathroom.Property had a smell about it.Several guests turned up and needed help but could not get the property owner to answer the phone.Property advertised off road parking but was street parking
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,

When we arrived at the property the key was not in the key safe which was not the owners fault but after waiting 20 minutes in the rain and ringing the ring door bell and contacting the owner with no answer eventually one of the other guests opened the door, the kitchen and bathroom were both clean but our room was not the carpet had not been hoovered and there was clumps of hair on the sofa in the room. Would not stay again unfortunately. Also advertising slightly misleading as did not realise it was shared accommodation i.e kitchen and bathroom this was also commented on by another guest.
There was no Bed sheet, Pillow, mirror , dustbeen and basic amenities in the room. there was only one shared toilet for so many occupants and this toilet was always occupied by someone. I tried to contact property manager but phone was never picked up and never answered. Mattress quality was so Poor that I could not sleep whole night.
