unexpected value

communal space well done bathroom smart space morning coffee

The communal space IS good outside of the rooms area, the bathroom IS also well done. The concept IS great and it uses space smartly. It is open, mostly light and modern. Loved little touches such as oat milk for morning coffee, and toiletries.

The radiator in the main bedroom was broken, so it was colder than i would have liked. There was another radiator in the small bedroom but it didnt heat the WHOLE place at all.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

broken radiator lacking customer service

The room was clean and the location was good for accessing nearby shops.

The radiator in the main bedroom did not work, so the room was colder than I wanted. There was another radiator in the small bedroom but it didn't heat the whole place well. It was an inconvenience. I found that customer service was lacking to say the least.
