I booked this place whilst attending my hospital placement as a student doctor at Royal Albert Infirmary. The only redeeming factor was the free parking. To summarise my stay:
- Directions were not up to date for getting to the accommodation with new road closures and changes
- Check in was complicated (although safe)
- No salt, oil, pepper or kitchen roll, no dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent. No hangers. No spare sheets. Alongside this, having booked the place for over a month I would have expected more than just 1 toilet roll!
- There was a used dental flosser and packet of cigarettes under my bed
- Speaking of the beds, they were so uncomfortable/bad quality I moved the mattress to the floor in the living room and slept there
- Just to be fussy, the couch was also not very comfy
- There are carpark floodlights that stream in from about 8pm to 4am every. single. night. and the blinds are so measly they let basically all the light in
- The heater in the living room wasn’t working and when we arrived the place was freezing. I had to purchase my own electric heater after a day, since no one came to fix it. Not for an entire month. The issue was simply “raised to management”
- Stephanie is just an alias for a computerised system, so if you need anything during your stay it won’t happen.
The pros are that it is close to the station, the place is spacious and there’s a parking spot included. If you’re planning to stay a few days, sure you can rough it out. Any more than that and it’s just simply not worth the money. Very very very overpriced. Thanks for reading :)
