Scape accomodation is what it is - unserviced student accomodation. Unfortunately the listing made it seem a little more than what we got. Decadent photos on the listing passed the space off as having a living area & couch, more decoration and more services.
These were the key things that were missing/unclear/disappointing
- No kettle in the room
- No cleaning supplies for the room, we had to take them from the shared kitchen so we could do our dishes
- No extra keycard, had to share the one to get into the building, to the shared floors and to our room.
- Only one pillow per person provided, only pillows available for students to purchase.
- Only one set of towels, which didn't dry after the first couple of days.
- The room was freezing and we couldn't get any extra blankets. Air conditioning was difficult to set correctly with many admin locks blocking access. The room overheated very quickly with the heating on so we couldn't keep it on overnight.
- Bed was very hard.
- Staff were unclear on us being AirBnb guests and not students.
- No room turndown or cleaning throughout the stay. Would have been nice to get a refresh on bins etc.
Things that were good about the space:
- Great location
- Clean and tidy room
- Nice kitchenette - this was the drawcard as we wanted to cook our own food
- Fast hot water
- Nice views of the city
- Good gym
Overall, the room was a nice little spot, but for a week at the same rate as a hotel with none of the services included in a hotel stay - I'd forgo the kitchenette and just book a hotel room. If you're staying in town for a weekend or a night, this could be a good low-key option for you.
