The Matcham at Claremont Apartments

It was lovely and clean

The sofa bed was a little uncomfortable

Apartment was great

Privacy through the side windows, maybe the lower window could have a clear but conceling sticker blind added?

The rooms were large and the kitchen well equipped for a few days stay. It was extremely quiet at night.

It was, in places, tired. The sofa (bed) should be replaced entirely, the terrible cheap plastic covering that attempts to hide the split cushions underneath was just awful. No one wants to sit on that! There were no bedside lamps in the bedroom, this is a staple in most accommodation. There was no vanity mirror near the ‘wired-in’ hairdryer and the hairdryer wire would not nearly reach around the bathroom door to the mirror in there. Minor point, one of the bathroom lights kept turning out. All the lights, throughout, (apart from the bathroom) were ‘antique’ yellow which made the place really gloomy. As a contact lens/make-up wearer it is important to have a good light and mirror to put them in/it on etc- fairly standard, unfortunately the only place suitable was if I kneeled on the toilet seat but as mentioned one of the lights kept going out. The TV/remote in the living room needed the patience of a saint. I didn’t even try the bedroom one. One of the towels, whilst brilliantly clean was fairly shredded.

Location excellent easy to walk into city.. Great space and comfortable bed.

Parking space for 5his apartment under trees, consequently car covered in bird droppings. Housekeeping said they had covers for cars. Maybe place them in apartment to alleviate problem of having to visit car wash on departure.
