The property was nice and clean with good facilities, it has a communal kitchen and parking. There were x2 significant issues that really let the Property down for us. 1. The mattress was probably the worst I’ve ever slept on, the springs digging into my back was actually painful. I had to go out and buy a duvet to act as a mattress protector which improved it. Disappointingly, other reviewers mention this but it has not been actioned. 2. The room was so cold, heat wasn’t coming out of the radiator. Luckily there was a little electric heater but I also had to buy myself a hot water bottle. Another issue was there were only enough tea / coffee / UHT milk for x1 day. We stayed x4 so went without. They also phoned me to ask if they could come in to do electric testing, I wasn’t keen on this either having our room disturbed.

The cost is low, but we wasted hours due to buggy software for the security deposit. The next day, the heat suddenly went on full blast, in July. Hours wasted until the maintenance man shut it down. Make certain that you fully understand the two door codes for building entry and room entry. There is no staff on the premises.

It was nice!
Everything was fine. Room was clean and does not smell. Onlt thing was the bed too soft for our liking. Plus, i liked that they have a communal kitchen which was reallt helpful when you wanr to cook your own meal instead of ordering from fast food! We had a lovely stay at the hotel. Thank you!

The only negative thing was the bed, which wasnt very comfortable but bearable for a few nights. Very secure, with keypads on doors.

Disappointing experience
The door lock did not work with the keycode for me, an actual key was required to enter the room which I had to fetch from outside in the rain. Then the radiator was broken, I turned it on somehow but couldn't switch it off, so had to open the windows to balance it off, such a wastage of energy. Keeping the windows open also filled the room with smoke that somebody must have smoked outside. The room cleanliness was also disappointing, the pillow covers had stains. The kettle was all rusty, thankfully I checked before using it. The room was nice and quiet though, so if the maintenance issues are fixed it can be a pleasant stay.

I am very disappointed with the accommodation offered. There were a number of issues with the accommodation which I have outlined below: - the property has a very strong and unpleasant smell. As soon as you enter the property you can smell this. This smell lingers into other areas of the property. - the kitchen also has a strong food smell as residents do not clean up after cooking. We had to walk through the kitchen to get to our room so were often taken back by the smells. - the levels of noise within the property were appalling. Residents talked on the phone in the kitchen early in the morning and disturbed our sleep.  - when we arrived, there was only 1 used toilet roll in the toilet. More than half of the toilet roll had been used. Thus, we had to find a shop near by and buy a pack of toilet rolls - we found a long strand of hair in our towel. This hair did not belong to us as we both have short hair. Overall, the cleanliness of the room was appalling. The pillow cases were inside out which makes me wonder whether they were washed prior to our arrival. - the front door of the property was left open/unlocked at all times. We never needed the code to get into the property even at night. This is extremely unsafe and made me feel very very unsafe. I complained about this on the 29th of January and have not received a response.

Nice room, issues with entrance codes
Nice big room. Long nice strawl to the city centre. Recommend to walk by the river! 😍 Pub(s) near by and groceries. However, big issues with being cleared to check in! Because there are no staff at site, codes have to be punched by the doors at the main entrance and your room. A good thing by itself, but they have to work! I had to get an employee to come by car to the place to help me, when the links from the management didn't work all the way through. Nice guy, by the way. Thanks! He also had to help me add my picture for id security on the internet and pay the £50 deposit because of the not working links. After one night at the place the main door code was changed and I was not texted about this. Didn't get back in. Another employee came by car to my assistance, as I was given the wrong new code by management on the phone. Thanks to you too! To top my 3 day stay off, management/the office rang me up 1 day too soon and claimed I was supposed to leave that day. I told them I had paid for yet another night to begin with. But as I said before all these exciting experiences took place, the room was really nice! 😂👍
