An old but decent room. All rooms with windows. And beautifully used wood furniture, though old , but ok clean…
Two issues, they need a extra deposit for using the room, but I don’t think they mentioned it in advance. Have to use by card with a deposit mode, if not they will just charged you £25, then refund it later…
I have problem with my card, then I have to use cash to do deposit, then cash deposit have to be ten times £250!! Why? It is the rule…so stupid. Then, I don’t have that much, they only accept pound, not US. Not euro…I have to walk 10 mins back to the nearby money exchange to do it…
I will prepare it, if I knew in advance.
they look like a hotel, but it is not, hotel will be willing to keep your luggage, and they don’t ask if I want to at all…so I have to carry my bags and walk all the way to the money exchange.
Returned, the check in is so slow, it is the deposit issue again…. So though the receptionist are really helpful…but long time to wait.
Then, finally, I manage to get in the room. At the moment I before I went for a bath, I found out the carpet is all wet…and it is spreading…I am so worried, that is this a trick for my 250 deposit? So I get dressed. And call the room service, there are four different types, and only one works. Finally I managed to call, but they cut the line and call me back later…the poor girls in the reception had to do all the job (that is why in say it looks like a hotel, but it is not) they answered and said will sent someone to me. There, I walked another 45 mins.
I call again, the reception found out no one come to me…then…finally the poor girls decided to come by her self…. And changed the room for me.
I will say, if this is not a hotel like, I will totally be ok, just like a normal airbnb host, things happened, but it pretend to be a hotel…. The only thing is it is cheap.
Finally, the girls and boys are really polite and helpful. They proved free printing if you needed.
At the moment, I was leaving, the lobby is dripping water in the center…with five big buckets to hold the water…. That spot upstairs is where my room is located…. Poor girls…no one come to fixed it.
Final word, the sound protection is really bad. When people walk pass your room, you knew it.
