42 Apart-Hotel

Very helpful and friendly 24 hour reception staff.

The size of the room. The bed was comfy. Location was spot on. The kitchen/lounge separate to the bedroom which was separate to the bathroom. The room was warm.

The hot water in the bath ran out before filling the bath to a required level and took ages for the water to get hot again There were only 2 x milk pots. There was nothing in the offering from the photo on the drinks facilities - coffee flavouring, no stock in the Nespresso machine coffee tray. You need a thicker mattress topper as it was obviously it was 2 single beds pushed together due the uncomfortable crease down the middle. The fire exit light in the bedroom was horrible and basically lit up the bedroom green so getting to sleep was difficult. Cups and glasses were not washed and cleaned properly as Nespresso cups had coffee stains and drinking glasses were sticky.

It had space

The coffee machine didn’t work - no one could fix it/give a replacement The lights kept flickering

Nothing it’s awful shouldn’t even be on booking.com

Awful property probably the worst place we have ever stayed. We work and stay all over the country and this place is terrible shouldn’t even be on booking.com. It’s dirty, in need of a total renovation, smelt awful, didn’t feel safe at all.

Staff were friendly.

The room and the toilet were not clean. The duvet has some urine-like signs, and found that on the last day. The bed was a combination of two twins beds, so a gap in between made me sleep on just one small twin bed, instead of a king bed. The price is like for a 4 or even a 5 start hotel, but the service is not comparable to the price. I communicated the same to hotel management by email, but no reply received.

Decent bed and kitchen facilities

There was nothing to wash dishes, remote broke, no bath as advertised, broken freezer, no towels and poorly stocked for coffee/tea

It was warm and comfortable with a nice big bed and a good sized tv. The free parking outside was also good.

There were elements of the stay that I didn’t like but it would be wrong to characterise them as being “things I didn’t like about the property”. When I checked in it transpires that I should have been asked to complete a form choosing breakfast items which would have been delivered to my room. The member of staff forgot to do this , despite me being the only guest checking in at the time. The staff member was warm and friendly just not particularly efficient on that occasion. This meant that when I enquired “where I needed to go for breakfast” that the member of staff in duty then had to explain what had gone wrong. I was time limited and whilst he offered to make things right, I didn’t really have time for that. To be fair to the staff member, he did rustle me up a bag of cereal bars, fruit and biscuits. The room itself was of a good size and was clean and comfortable although I can’t understand why it is called “42 Apart-Hotel” as to me this implies that it has apartment like qualities which generally means a microwave and the ability to eat in the room. There was nothing like that and it is very much a standard hotel room with a bedroom and a private bathroom. Additionally it advertises itself as having a restaurant which it doesn’t. There is a franchised burger bar adjacent which can be used but it wasn’t clear from the hotel booking page that it wouldn’t be open on a Monday. The blinds may not be to everyone’s liking and I had to move from my original room as they were damaged and inadequate. I also find it annoying when there is no plus socket adjacent to or even near a tea/coffee tray. There was nothing bathroom whilst clean wasn’t “up to scratch”. There were two things wrong that I noticed.

Location

Room heated till about 25 degrees, tiny window that opens. Smell of drainage. Door lock problematic Pretending there was no other room and reluctantly finding me a fan. When I at check asked if they knew of any place to eat, was told no don’t go around in this area. When in fact just down the road was a great restaurant Just couldn’t be bothered
