Suite Life Serviced Apartments
Suite Life Serviced Apartments"A clean and spacious flat with good facilities. Nice bathroom. Comfy main bed. Tight parking space but in car park with barrier. It was a heatwave, which couldn't be helped, and we stayed on a night with a late England football game, so it wasn't the most comfortable night's stay. The circumstances were exceptional but The flat was very close to two pubs, one that is regularly open until 2am apparently, so it was very noisy at night."

Hamilton Grace - The Quadrant
Hamilton Grace - The Quadrant"It was a good location for me. However, there are some really loud birds that start yelling around 5:30am, so I was unable to sleep very well. I would have liked a coffee machine and some coffee and tea. Otherwise, it was a nice stay."
