Hounds Gate Luxury Apartments by 1508 Stays

The apartment was clean and nice

The property was far TOO HOT. Ventilation was poor for a hot summer stay. The apartment definitely needs air con in the hot summer months. Windows were not enough and some windows did not open due to them being broken.radiator in bathroom on and unable to be turned off as it was broken.

Clean and great location

Could have had more than just wine glasses for drinking vessels

Very good location, clean and tidy and the check-in process was really informative and easy.

The sofa bed that I had the misfortune of sleeping on was incredibly uncomfortable 😕 The two that slept on the double bed also said their sleep wasn’t the greatest.

Great location next to the Castle with easy access to the City Centre. NCP car parks nearby. Nice sized property for a short stay.

Firstly two sets of key boxes - instructions weren’t clear on which set to use. Communal area were unclean with rubbish on the carpets, marked balustrade (glass). Trip hazard on some stairs with carpet untethered. Skylight in the kitchen wedged with a towel and kitchen paper indicating a leak. Crockery was mismatched and sparse with no utensils available. Washing up liquid watered down. No dining table/chairs. Bar stools were too high to sit on comfortably to eat and next to the sloped ceiling. Sofa bed very uncomfortable to sit on; covered with a smelly throw which hid ‘staining’ underneath. Wi-Fi on TV with WhatsApp assistance took over an hour to fix to view - not worth it in the end as the broadband signal was weak making viewing impossible. Not all windows had blinds. Bathroom is a bath with mixer shower tap set up to appear as a standup shower, bathing was problematic. Black mould around silicone and grouted areas was off putting. Both bedrooms whilst carpeted were badly marked and unclean. Velour headboard in main bedroom was marked; mattress protector stained; under sheet grubby with hairs - not the comfiest nights sleep. Skylights in the bedrooms had no blinds and only a small opening for ventilation. Only escape from the property was via the stairwell - our apartment was in the eaves of the building.
