NEW Super 2 Bedroom Flat in Falkirk

The first wretched stay & poor review in my many yrs of booking.com stays. So bad we couldn’t stay - despite losing 3 nights’ prepayment. Booking.com customer svc was kind and tried to help but in the end, they let us down - by working with this inappropriate lodging and not protecting customers.

Filthy flat, (w/dark, unlit, fowl-smelling common entry) - to the extent we felt unsafe & sought immediate help. No effort at cleaning: unthinkable bio. filth on the toilet brush, bathroom surfaces riddled w/grime & hair, grime on kitchen cabinet handles& fronts, filthy wall surfaces; clothes iron utterly smeared w/?? , nightstand broken, ceiling lights w/spent bulbs, —far below standards we’ve seen on any lodging platform! We lost £550+ b/c it wasn’t fit/healthy to stay in- certainly not for our daughter.

The property had everything you would need for a short stay . The kitchen was functional. Plenty of parking and easy to find . Both bathrooms are clean and have good showers . We were visiting the Edinburgh fringe festival so this is a cheaper option on accommodation. It’s about a 40 min drive into the centre of Edinburgh .

The flat is situated on a road that seems to be a thoroughfare for everyone in Falkirk !!! So it can be a little noisy late at night. There was an issue at checkin . Make sure you have the code to pick up the keys from the local supermarket. Luckily I was able to email and got a reply within the hour .

Everything was perfect about the property. The facilities and location was especially great.

Very spacious & comfortable. Handy for the town centre.

The fridge freezer was not working & it took quite a bit of time to be advised there was a hidden switch that we needed to flick on to start it. We lost time & shopping as a result- the maintenance had no key to gain access when we were out! We therefore sat in one evening awaiting their possible attendance. We were asked to leave this on for the next guests, so obviously should have been on for our arrival too. The compensation of £25 for inconvenience was also poor- given we’d paid £150 per night to stay. There was a lack of information regarding this & the 2 TVs in the property. The one in the bedroom couldn’t be used at all due to no reception & no ariel. No info regarding rubbish - so we had leave it all in the kitchen for the cleaner to deal with after we’d left. An information folder would have been extremely handy

Lovely big flat - A1 decor and has everything - 10 min stroll into town and ample off street parking - easy key collection from store nearby (who do lovely brekkie rolls)

It is pricey for where it is

The flat was in a quiet residential area and close to the major attractions

The bed in the ensuite bedroom was to firm for our liking but that is only an opinion

Lovely comfortable apartment, well equipped, suitable fora long term stay.

A really comfortable well appointed flat , with everything you need to make a stay comfortable, i would recommend to the landlord they they defrost the fridge at some point , the place would also benefit from some new bed linen, otherwise no complaints

Lovely property!
