The apartment is really clean and comfortable.
Checkin was however a bit difficult. There are a few steps you need to take online before you reach the apartment. Better to do these a day before you arrive.

Cheap and cheerful hotel in a great location
The hotel was a bit tricky to find, you have to be organised and check-in in advance and I had to chase up the check-in details on the day because they weren't sent to me. Communication was otherwise good. I was right at the top of the building so it was very hot, but the room was comfortable if a little worn, with peeling wallpaper and a squeaky bed. This all sounds negative, but it was perfectly serviceable, clean, and with good in-room facilities. There was also a shared kitchen which was very handy, and it was reasonably priced for a very expensive city! It was also perfectly placed to explore, so I would recommend it.
Booked this place with some trepidation due to the negative reviews but was the cheapest and most conveniently located.
Check-in process was a bit fiddly but the online live chat staff was responsive and helpful, even sent a follow up text message to check if everything went smoothly.
Room was as described and clean, everything worked (although bathroom sink was a bit blocked and TV signal was poor, but nothing major). Cleaning staff always pleasant and polite. Kitchen is quite well-equipped. Enjoyed meeting and socialising with other travellers in the kitchen/living room area.
Overall pleasantly surprised and would recommend for a short budget stay.
Check in and check out were no problems. Followed the instructions that were sent to email on the day of registration.
Location - the center is 10 minutes walk away, paid parking is 3 minutes away 20 pounds per day, free on Sunday. Communication - I used email, the answer was immediate.
Of the minuses, do not forget to make a deposit (it is clear why).
WIFI stopped working after couple days & wouldn’t come back on before I left. Service couldn’t help. As I was traveling for business this was a major inconvenience. Sockets not sensibly placed. Mold in the bathroom & the shower was leaking.

not great for the price.
I was assigned a number that wasn't reflected on the main blue door, and it took a while to figure it out also considering it was a late check in. Thanks to a couple of students in house and customer service emergency who finally rang back.
while the bed and pillows were super comfortable and AC was working, the rest of the amenities were not as great. fridge shelves kept falling, bathroom sink blocked, i couldnt get hot water later in the night, none of windows opened except the toilet one, the heating element is very hot and i kept touching it with my elbow accidentally. living area blind string was broken and neither the window nor blinds could open. floor wasn't very clean, and exterior was worse.
suggestion: include a full-length mirror and bedside lamp. for gb137 per night i definitely deserved better, had to check out a day early due to the sink and cold shower situation.

Worst customer satisfaction
The next day of reservation I received an e-mail from the host company saying I needed to pay a £100 deposit within 24 hours, otherwise they reserve the right to cancel my booking.
I’ve tried but the payment system on their website didn’t work and there was a message that authorization would be made 24 hours before the visit. I wrote to the host and they said there’ll be no cancellation because I’ve paid for the room. But the last day I had the same problem, they held me on the line to solve the system problem but couldn’t manage for 3 hours, they still insisted on the deposit otherwise they wouldn’t send the check-in info. I was late for a lot of things and if I didn’t have a friend in the UK who did a bank transfer I would be looking for a new place on the last day with high prices. If this is your system's fault you shouldn’t insist on a deposit.
The location is fine, room no.8 was not bad for 1 person to stay. The blinds were ruined but I fixed them. I didn’t receive any check-out information but I did everything reversed and sent a message to the host, I didn’t receive any feedback.
When they received the deposit, they said they’d refund in 2 days after my visit ended but they haven’t. Me and my friend wrote to them, and they managed the refund on the 5th day of checkout. I was lucky that I have an awesome friend there, otherwise, this journey would be a nightmare.
They are still kind in their messages; however, no problem-solving and customer satisfaction.
Would have expected a little better given the price. Good location and service. Mattress was shocking. Window did not fully close. Noise in room was loud due to buildings boiler location. Finish in room was poor. Travel lodge up the road is comparable in price, and at least the finish there is good. Shower worked; redeeming feature.
Overall, would only return if no other accommodation options.
The room was very comfortable and cosy. I stayed here for two nights and I enjoyed myself. After working hard for two days was just what I needed. Will definitely book again.
The welcome was very warm and accommodating. The tour around the facilities was also great. But on getting to my room nr2 it seemed it hadn't been dusted in weeks the TV remote was covered in dust as was the bed rail and desk. The sheets were clean but not fresh. The carpet is horribly stained. I only notice these thing more seriously as I am in the hospitality business as well and if guests are paying for something they at least want it to be clean.
My room was really cute and modern. Shower had hot water. Kitchen for everyone was a big plus ! Distance to city centre was fine and easy walk. Check-in was little bit difficult to open the box with long nails but it was okay.
