The set up is more akin to a hostel, and had to walk a long distance to access the actual room. It involved several stairs and long hallways. Do not recommend for any families

The apartment was clean and adequate for our stay. I didn’t feel the pictures entirely match up to what you actually get but the bed was comfy and the air conditioning very welcome in the summer heat, albeit all very basic. It wasn’t made clear on booking that you need some form of ID to check in, and it was only by pure luck that I had my driving license as otherwise I believe we would have been turned away.

Kettle didn’t work when we arrived, called reception twice, waited over an hour for a replacement kettle they had said they would bring, finally had to go out and buy a cup of tea!!!

Requested and they approved a late checkout for 12pm. Got a terse phone call at 11:10am saying why haven’t we checked out, we were late!!

Building is quite a rabbit warren and I would hate to be in there if there was a fire.

The staff was good, property clean but lacked small amenities that I expected for a family apartment. Little things like proper cooking basics: toaster, utensils like cheese grater, dish cloths, garbage bags would have made a huge difference. Location was near a couple tube stations. Size of family apartment was good overall. Clean towels provided and light housekeeping Dailey, full clean four days into our stay. Overall good value.

The staff behind the desk are extremely rude and obnoxious especially the boy with blondish hair seems youngish and has zero people skills. We did not get the room we paid for and therefore had to sleep on the most uncomfortable sofa bed, the sink in the bathroom filled right up and did not drain away, the room was absolutely tiny for 4 people and 4 suitcases plus carry on bags. Overall disgusting experience and stay away from this hotel. Such a shame that the manager has no clue how the staff treat customers, I suggest you do your research before employing such imbeciles. Where I come from you would get the sac on the spot for disrespecting my business. Not at all worth the money we paid.

We loved this location for having access to a kitchen, being able to buy groceries which are nearby, and make our own food. The building is dated, hallways are very narrow and the elevator is slow, but there are not a lot of floors. The room was spacious, beds were very firm and pillows very flat. Bathroom was decent though we could not get the plug in the bathtub to work. Having air conditioning was a life saver as it was 33c and humid the week we were there.

While staying at this hotel I received several bug bites. I asked the hotel to investigate and they couldn’t confirm what the source was. In addition, two of my items went missing and again the hotel mgt had zero explanation for this. The manager advised that they have an issue with mice in the court yard but had no explanation for the bug bites.

The air-conditioning - specially selected, though it turned out yo be a stand-alone unit - was broken in one bedroom. We were told it could not be fixed or replaced. Also, there was a mouse in another bedroom that managed to get into one of our backpacks and chew through a sealed wrapper to nobble on a protein bar. The staff were nice and apologetic, but the hot weather and broken a/c plus mouse made for an uncomfortable stay.

Very well run hotel/apts and efficient staff but although clean and comfortable it wasn’t 4 star, more good 3 Star. This is fine but it means they’d have to drop their prices or think about upgrading the rooms a bit. I’d stay there again on a last minute deal anyway as it served my purposes fine.

The staff were all polite and checking was easy. We were allowed to leave out bags with the hotel until the official check-in time.

Upon check-in, were given a room facing the courtyard which had additional late night noise from the adjoining restaurant, this made getting quality sleep until midnight possible.

The room was slight worn, but well used and housekeeping did an excellent job of restocking towels and remaking the room.

Overall, we enjoyed the hotel and aside from the late night noise from the attached restaurant we'd potentially stay at this location again.

Not what we expected

This place is too expensive for what you get. We were a party of 5. Our room said it was for 6 people. There was only one bathroom for all 5 of us, it was very inconvenient. The layout was one room with two twin beds, which were ok. The living room area had a full bed and a full size sofa. There was one mirror in the bathroom and another inside the room. One hair dryer attached to the wall and another one that could be plugged in somewhere else but no other mirrors available. They would both overheat and stop working for a few minutes. There were no elevators to our room so we had to carry our luggage through the stairs.
