Location

Kitchen facilities were good. TV reception good.
Very difficult to find the property, map links were incorrect. Toilet not flushing properly, located high up on a hill, driving to shops was necessary rather than walking. No heating Inn the bedroom. Central heating timing did not suit us

Location is good and sea side views
Old building
Old furniture
Bed linens need to be replaced
Bathrooms old and need renovation
Too much noise from the flat above and sleep was disturbed
Issues with proper parking- mention available but is not and is road side
Not secure
Had issues with heating
Staircase very narrow
Not sure will visit next time-unlikely
Previous booking changed the dates but owner kept the money paid and had to do re booking with new amount
Charged twice reflects greediness

I stayed in Apartment 1 and absolutely loved the view. Having a little balcony facing the ocean made this place so special and because it was south facing both the living room and balcony got so much light during the day. The wifi speed was pretty good which was a huge bonus as I had some Zoom meetings I had to attend during my stay. Huge smart TV in the living room was great for movie nights.
There were quite a few steps which was fine for me but might not be ideal for someone older or with mobility issues.

It was a lovely apartment.
We both had a great time.
The only downside was our balcony. We had to use a small step to get out of a window to sit outside. Next door to us had a door .
Also there were lots of stairs to get to our room , which we had to walk up a few times with all our luggage.

Fabulous view.
Super comfy sofas !
V v clean
Well equipped kitchen
Fabulous big v white towels!
The pillows! (Sorry!). Seems minor but need replacing - with pillow tucks ( base covers).
Coms with agent need to improve - and be quicker .

Apartment 14 was very spacious and clean with a lovely view of the sea. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was perfect with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits left for us on arrival.
We weren’t aware that the balcony wasn’t private and would have several people passing through to access the garden. This meant we had the curtains closed quite abit for privacy and more than one interruption during a peaceful morning looking at the ocean.
We also unfortunately had somebody banging and shouting outside at 1am, trying to gain access to our apartment which was abit of a scare. Obviously this isn’t a fault of the hosts but it did dampen our experience somewhat and made us hesitant to unlock the doors and spend time on the balcony.

The whole property is ok and good.
No proper parking area which we are worried to go out by car just in case we can’t get parking in near the property.

We all loved everything about it . It was clean tidy . The view was beautiful.
The only 1 small thing I would say is that it needs a television in adults bedroom especially if you children sleeping on sofa bed. We couldn’t watch television. Other than that we would definitely stay again 100%.

Very nice area
Not very clean to be honest. For the money we spent I’d expect it to be spotless ? But very dusty, dirty toilet and just generally not the cleanest. Plus washing machine wouldn’t work ?

The Apartment was very clean, easy to check in, the host had left some lovely extras for the dog and us, which was lovely . We were close to the prom
But it was quiet.
The bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows were thin and lumpy, in the grand scheme not a massive issue , but just could have been better . The apartment also got very hot as the windows did not open much. A fan was left though .

I’ve stayed at Astor House twice now — last time in room 15 with no problems at all, and this time in room 17. The bedroom and everything else was lovely, with a stunning sea view that’s definitely the highlight. The welcome coffee, teabags, biscuits, and milk were a nice touch too.
mainly the cleanliness and maintenance. The bathroom had stains, no shampoo or body wash was provided, and the fridge had bad stains with the freezer drawer not opening. The shower head drained slowly, and there was no plug in the tub. The patio door didn’t lock, which was a big safety concern with kids. The washing machine in our apartment didn’t work, and the communal one downstairs was often left full by other guests, which was frustrating. Also, the WiFi didn’t work in our room at all during the stay.There were cobwebs in the rooms which was a big safety concern with kids, and the kids’ room window also didn’t lock.
I've took more videos off the stuff in cleanness

The location and stunning views from the back terrace.
Up a steep hill but we found some steps down to the main area and it gave us good exercise!
No washing up liquid, toilet paper just one nearly empty roll. To be fair all easily rectified but for a holiday self contained rental it’s a basic surely?
House keeping not very interested when I messaged them.
Apartment was cleaned but not very well, more attention to detail and it would have been spot on.

Fantastic location and amazing views! Apartment was spotless and furniture and equipment of very high standard. Very quiet too.
I wasn't aware that you had to request bedding for the sofa bed and as such, we had to improvise so that myself and my mother had adequate cover.

Apartment 1a described as "finished to high standards" - in reality it's just an ordinary, small and claustrophobic apartment set on a 2nd floor with no lift. Not informed about this either so if you have a physical disability this would have ruined your holiday.
Bedroom extremely small with barely any space to walk sideways, again, if a person on a bigger size would have been here, it wouldn't have made it to the bed. Curtain on the wall, leaving a 20cm space between wall and window allowing all the light to come through and disrupting your sleep since early hours. Apartment overheated and no possibility to open windows. A small fan was provided but very inefficient as we had a constant 28C inside. Bathroom was very tiny too with rust heater and poor finishing around the shower box allowing the water to leak. Overall an overpriced 2 nights there were not worth it. I would NOT recommend this place at all.

The views were amazing and the rooms were clean and tidy. The bathroom was tidy and there were enough towels. A travel cot was kindly provided for us which was perfect for our son and there was a good hairdryer in the room.

The views, apartment size was decent and it had pretty much everything you could need
The shower isnt very powerful, the shower door is pretty much useless, there wasnt any bath matts anywhere and the whole bathroom floor would end up soaked

The view was amazing and it was superb, definitely 100% want to return. Nothing was to much trouble if have any issues.

No information on how many stairs there were to get up to the property. For the older generation this needs to be made much more clearer.
We were not told the walk way in front of the French doors in the lounge was a public walk way, so anybody walking down to the garden was looking in. So no privacy.
The curtains were useless and didn’t fit across so impossible to get some privacy.
Although the main bedroom is stunning and has a wonderful view the wood around the does ia rotted and the doors could easily be pushed open so we’re not secure.
If I had known all this I would not of chosen this apartment. And very disappointed for the price we paid. I expected better.

Apartment was clean and tidy. Nice view
Struggled to get up the stairs. Should have asked for a ground floor apartment. Car parking is terrible. Balcony is not worth having. Climbing through a window. Had to buy batteries for tv remote.

View was amazing , good size for a 1 bedroom apartment..
The only thing was ,some visitors in one of the other apartments on the same floor where cooking something like Indian and in managed to completely engulf the entire floor inside our apartment and the corridor outside our door , it was so strong it would sting your eyes ..took 2days for the smell to go even with all the windows open ..
But this is not the owners fault ,,it’s just unfortunate for us
