Mit stay at Sabbir and Victoria’s was unfortunately not very pleasant and I wouldn’t recommend them as a hosts.
It started out very pleasantly. Sabbir responded quickly to my booking and was generally very communicate throughout my stay.
When I arrived, his staff at the restaurant gave me the key and showed me the room. The room hadn’t been cleaned and was grubby and packed with dust bunnies. In fairness to Sabbir, he responded immediately and the room was cleaned within an hour. However the bathroom wasn’t.
It should also be said that Sabbir has taken on other guests comments such as providing a padlock for the room, the bathroom door could lock and there was a fan in the room.
When I arrived I wasn’t given a code for the padlock and assumed that I should set it with one of my own. I provided my padlock code to Sabbir, when he needed to get into the room and clean it. I informed him that I would subsequently change it again. Sabir didn’t comment on this.
At check-out, I left the door door unlocked and the padlock open.
A few hours later, I got a message from Sabbir saying that I had changed the combination of the pad lock? And in a rather unpleasant phone call which followed, Sabbir told me that the lock was now useless and that I wasn’t allowed to change the code.
I explained that the padlock was left open and the code could easily be changed. Sabbir didn’t appreciate this and told me that he as the landlord need to access his property at all time.
I agreed with this and pointed out that I hadn’t been given a code to begin with. Sabbir said it was in the envelop that I was given by his staff at check-in. This unfortunately wasn’t the case as I had as mentioned only been given the key.
The room in the flat is spacious and bright. The window doesn’t shut fully, which is fine in summer and the flat is in a great location. The room and the bathroom could use a deep clean.
