Host & Stay | Clifton Studio 5

Communication prior to our stay was excellent. The guide book link that was sent prior to our stay was an excellent source of information. The room was clean, light & nicely decorated. It had everything we needed for our stay.  The only thing I could suggest was maybe adding a toaster but other than that, which is a very minor thing, everything was great. 

Size of the room, microwave, fridge, bathroom was nice  Bed is hard as a rock, no soft pillows to choose, emergency exit light cannot be dimmed so all night you are stuck in a bright green light, room door don't open fully and if you don't hold it it slams on you, water in shower is warm but you cannot go warmer. 

Decent stay near city centre

Excellent studio spotless I would have no problem staying there again  Nothing to dislike 

Just adequate  Checking in shouldn't require me to wait for the room to be cleaned first. I booked and paid immediately, and I didn't even check in early. I was on time, but the room was still full of laundry, not yet prepared for the next guest. Everyone is tired from traveling, so if the check-in process isn't ready, do I really have to wait for the room to be cleaned as well? 

People are improving the check-in process to ensure guests are on time.🕰️

The keys were in a key safe, sadly telephone call gave us the wrong code, so had to fish out a laptop, launch a hotspot, and find the email for the correct code.  Registered disable made to climb a steep flight of stairs, honestly I am surprised they meet to specs for an HMO My husband has paint dust all over a new black shirt and trousers 2 people for dinner only 1 fork available, only 3 not 4 mugs The absolute worst thing though, was they did not empty the bathroom bin from the previous occupants, utterly gross Apparently the new thing is only providing 1 pillow per person 1 bedside table for a double bed 1 bedside light  To me this studio, I would not agree with the word apartment being used to be honest, felt like a student let of an exceedingly basic level, done on the cheap.  The could not even be bothered to remove some of the label off of the table under the window with the 1 uncomfortable chair provided for the 2 occupants  Ladies if you stay here you need to pack your own hairdryer THERE IS NOT ONE PROVIDED....... this was the worst thing out of everything other than the unemptied bathroom bin.   The call centre is located and manned in the Philippines as the UK one is only manned Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm 

Find somewhere else if you want any degree of comfort

Gostei de tudo, tudo muito limpo e confortável, a comunicação foi perfeita, sempre respondia muito rápido  Nada 

Perfeito

The place was clean.  The maintenance team failed to arrive and solve my problem, the room was very cold even when the heater was on. 

I sadly had a bad experience during my stay, the shower was not working.

At the time, the front door was very difficult to open, and the 24 hour emergency number wasn't answered. It was only because someone came out that I was able to get in. The door has now been mended (found out on my last day) 

My complaints were taken seriously and acted on.

it could of had an extra chair in the room especially when you have two people 

Pleasant and comfortable

El apartamento N. 3 está situado en la planta calle del edificio pero realmente está en el sótano (al abrir la puerta apenas hay descansillo y las escaleras son empinadas con peldaños muy pequeños y sin pasamanos, es muy fácil caerse; además, no tiene luz al acceder al apartamento). El apartamento estaba limpio, pero la zona exterior donde están las llaves estaba llena de basura y olía mal, además de la entrada (el suelo lleno de papeles). La puerta de entrada al edificio no cerraba bien, y el apartamento N. 3 tiene una salida a un patio, cuya cerradura tampoco funcionaba (daba la sensación de dormir con la puerta abierta). Tuve un problema con la caja de seguridad de las llaves y la empresa que gestiona el apartamento me dio pocas soluciones: muchos correos y mucho seguimiento, pero desde una oficina, sin solución local. 

No repetiré

Clean and good value for money  Stairs were treacherous and felt unsafe. Only one mirror which was in the bathroom. No blind on the door so very bright early in the morning. No flexibility we were only there for 1 night so from check in at 4pm to check out at 10am, I requested an early check in as we were at an event that started at 1.30 but were told no. I asked if it was possible just to leave our luggage (one nights stay so minimal) and was told no. At that point if we had been entitled to a refund we would have cancelled 

Clean and good value for money but needs more flexibility with check in or the ability to leave luggage

Would definitely stay there again 👍

Excellent location and clean  A bit tricky to access the key box but no issues eventually 

Highly recommended

Liked the close proximity to train station, shops and town centre. The room was nice and clean. When we had a problem with the plumbing it was dealt with promptly. Liked the ease of check in but would have appreciated a place to put our luggage as we had to wait from the time of arriving by train to actual check in which was 4pm so we could do some exploring around the town.  It would have been nice to have a toaster to have toast with a cup of tea in the mornings. It would have been nice to have a little table and 2 chairs to sit at to eat meals. The option of another pillow would have also been great. I didn't like that the rubbish bin outside the front door was overflowing and by the time we left bags were on the ground. 

Great location

Modern and location is good.  Bed had been slept in and not made!  Towels on the bathroom floor and rubbish still left on the floor.  Housekeeping had clearly not been in!  Blinds do not cover the windows so bright sunlight and not dark at night. 

Very poor experience over all.  Could not get wif-fi to work!!

The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good.  I was given the address and a key safe code, but there were 5 unmarked key safes. I tried all of them but some would not open. I telephoned but the first 2 options went to answerphone in the middle of the afternoon. I tried option 4 and spoke to someone who just told me what I already knew. I eventually got the top key safe open and got the key. The front door would not lock. My room was on the ground floor very close to the pavement and road. The room was very warm 25C with no way to cool it down. Opening the windows was difficult because of the blinds and this let more noise in from cars parking outside and traffic going past. The wash basin was loose, as was the shower head holder. There were no obvious tea spoons but on the last day I found some small ones inside some plastic beakers. I was woken up early every morning as people in the other 4 rooms left the property as my room was nearest the front door. 

I wont be staying here again

Very central, easy check-in but quite a few stains and dirt around the space, questionable indeed. Price was okay for what it is, could be a little cheaper in my opinion but serves its purpose.

A limpeza, a cama é muito confortável, o espelho do banheiro, o chuveiro muito bom.  Sugestão: Falta persianas na lateral da janela, isso é ruim quando amanhece dá muita claridade no quarto. O aquecedor do quarto não suporta quando está muito frio, o quarto fica gelado. 

Central location near rail station, street parking or rail station carpark across the road.  Noisy occupants of the unit across hallway kept us awake till 3am each night.
