Does not match the pictures. Bedding needs to be cleaned as well as the drapes, probably carpet too . Lots of road noise. Would not recommend. Seems like they don’t care much about property.

The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. I noted an odd number of spoons and forks. The bathroom, albeit clean was rather tired and dated. There was paint that was cracked on the wall was non repaired damage to the sink and shower. There was also a lack of steam extractor fan that had obviously previously led to fire alarms if the bathroom door was left open.

Overpriced not good experience
Highly overpriced, not clean apartment/hotel? with very helpful stuff. The room - [ ] No table although it is an apartment with kitchen, so if you want to eat food, either you stand around microwave or? - [ ] No water tap in kitchen, so cleaning the dishes in bathroom maybe? - [ ] No cupboard to keep your clothes, only 4 clothes hanger provided and you can hang your clothes where you find a place for hangers - [ ] As there is no cupboard the ironing board stands next to the door. - [ ] No safety lock on door, not sure if the door is locked or not. The bathroom - [ ] Mold everywhere. As staff explained it is not mold only the crack covered by silicone but it is not, it is black mold in the shower and around the whole bathroom. - [ ] No extraction but there is a sign in bathroom to close the door while showering to avoid false fire alarm. - [ ] The mirror is on the window which has a view of the street. In case you switch on the light, from the street anyone can see what you do in bathroom. - [ ] The shower door opens as a 20 years old car without maintenance, so everyone will know when you start showering. People - [ ] When I told these concerns, they kindly offered me another room however when I looked at it, the same issue was there. They also offered refund if I want to leave so I guess this is not the first time when someone complained but they handled it well!
Mold around the shower
Dirty floor and door opening
Peeling paint at window and mold around
