This accommodation is overall quite confusing. I’ll try and break down my observations into pros and cons with a conclusion at the end:
Pros:
- location is pretty much spot on, easy transport links and only a 20 minute or so walk from the city centre.
- The exterior and communal interior of the building are stunning. High ceilings, chandeliers, huge banisters!
- The building is on a very quiet residential street
- We loved the keyless entry, using codes instead, easy and convenient!
- The bed was incredibly comfortable, and a high standard.
- The shower was of high specification
Cons:
- There is no reception so no way of contacting anyone. We ran out of toilet roll, and couldn’t reach anyone through the online messaging system through hotels.com or via the out of hours phone number. We had to purchase our own, which I would not expect to do at a hotel.
- Although the kitchenette was generally well stocked, we had no mugs for hot drinks!
- Although probably to be expected, there was no housekeeping during our stay. This meant that consumables such as the aforementioned toilet paper and the tea/coffee could not be restocked.
- The decor of the room was interesting. Perhaps it’s just me, but a pastel blue feature wall opposite dark green curtains was not working for me!
- A lot of the items in the room were needlessly complicated to work, such as the shower and the hob. No information was left on how to work these.
I’ll share the rest on Google!
