阿爾比恩街服務式公寓(Albion Street Serviced Apartments)

We stayed in room 5 which was an outbuilding and the back of the property. There was no lock on the inside door so we would have had to sleep with the door unlocked all night. But worse than that it was absolutely freezing (it was end of november) the radiator didnt work but they did leave a small oil radiator that did absolutely nothing. We checked out after a few hours as it was just too cold. Really dissapointed especially as the room wasnt cheap.

Please do yourself a favour and avoid this place like the plague. I first started to feel uncomfortable when I received a text informing me that they required £250 in pre-authorisation for each apartment I had booked. This is not just a swipe of a credit or debit card so they can charge for a newspaper - this is an actual hold on the funds in my bank account or on my credit card. Looking at the reviews it seems that if you don't have the funds in your account to cover this then you can't stay in the room you have booked and paid for! Nothing on ********** to indicate this charge. It advises that they may need to swipe your card but absolutely no mention of the £250. It then takes up to 5 days after your stay for the funds to be released. When you check out the state of the apartment you will see just what a cheek it is to expect a pre-authorisation in case of damage - what a dump. Getting down to the basement apartment is dangerous. steep, slippy, concrete steps. No usable mirrors! Not one. Even in the bathroom. The bathroom in the apartment just topped it off. Only stay here if you do not value your privacy as it has none. I have included photographs.

There is a ridiculous preauthorization fee of £250 that will not be disclosed until you are at the check-in counter, if you're on a budget please don't bother booking a reservation. The lack of transparency is worrisome. Then there is the damaged front door Venetian blind, which the staff confirmed that the management is aware of, yet no temporary measure was in place to safeguard the privacy and dignity of clients. Also, there was the wifi password that was communicated and it took walking back to the key pick-up location and another four hours later to resolve. Lastly, it's been 5 days since checkout and the £250 is yet to be returned to my account, utterly disappointing.

Great central location, clean and tidy with everything needed in a small kitchen. Good communication from property. Good value and would stay again.

Great communications from front desk office, masses of helpfull advice greatly appreciated. The property was outstanding comfortable spacious and a wow bathroom. Very comfortable bed and a most comfortable stay, thank you.

Great place to stay, very clean, walking distance to high street shops, and restaurants.

It was terrible as it was all faults advertised

El apartamento, con una pequeña placa eléctrica, no es adecuado para estancias en invierno. Hace mucho frío y especialmente por la noche. Por otro lado, es una incoherencia que disponga de una cocina completa y en cambio no haya ni mesa ni sillas. No debería publicit**** como apartamento completo.

Absolutely terrible place. Service and staff are also unhelpful and rude
