Sevenstay Plus Apartment 101

Great location and quiet area. Positive: The location and the fact that it was a quiet apartment. Negative: Nothing, apart from the lock to the apartment door breaking, but this was fixed by the maintenance team.

Volveríamos a este lugar Positive: Ubicación a pocos minutos de pleno centro y estación de metro, amplitud en el apartamento, cama muy cómoda. Negative: En el baño nos pusieron solamente jabón corporal y no en mucha cantidad, me gustaría que también hubiera champú- suavizante para el pelo.

They ask for photo ID and take a £150 deposit Positive: Good location in quiet end of town, good parking just across the road. Helpful friendly staff at venue. Clean room. Negative: They ask for a photo of your passport or driving licence. In advance, by email. All before they take a £150 deposit (which must have been mentioned in the small print but I hadn’t seen it). We booked on Friday for a Saturday night stay. Then, as we’re driving up, we find we’ve got emails asking for photo ID - for both of us - before they’ll give us the key code. And they need our credit card details in order to take a £150 deposit, on top if the room charge that we’d already paid. This was most stressful, hung over us all through the drive up, and felt unnecessarily intrusive. The room itself: Avoid Room 101. There is only one window, which opens onto the noisy aircon extractor from the building next door. Which means you have the choice of an airless night with the window closed, or the noise of that machine all night. The room’s own aircon didn’t work (see photo) The TV is a WiFi-only telly, no aerial, which means you can’t get regular Tv channels, it relies entirely on apps which, if you don’t already pay for, you can’t use. IPlayer was installed on one tv (in the lounge) but not on the other (in the bedroom) and when the WiFi went down, as it did regularly, you were left staring at a buffering picture. Also the shower control was broken meaning, at one point, we feared we’d not be able to turn it off )I found a way).

Facilities fine but lots of banging noise mae Positive: Room was fine Negative: Room OK but lots of noise from doors banging in the corridor and people's conversation out there. Got woken multiple times due to this. It must be possible to stop the banging and insulate the door better
