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,

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
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
