No 13 Georgian Shared House - By Clifton Short Lets

Location was very good.

Rooms could be more modern.

This accommodation is a scam. Bookings provided no support. Do not book with this accommodation or Bookings.

Would come again

Well, it was close to the university at least, as I was there for a conference.

Let me preface by saying that I usually don't write reviews - just add ratings but one has to comment on the situation here. Also, I am not particularly fussy either, I've been to my fair share of dorms and hostels too. The place needs work. A lot of it. And transparency when advertising. Because the pictures and descriptions are quite divorced from the reality of the place. Let's see: - A new set of bugs in the bathroom every day - lack of toilet paper?! - sticky floors (not sticky clean for sure) - paper thin walls - odd smell throughout the house - spotty WiFi - bed mattress so old that it is more like a wave that will give you back pain no matter how you sleep - and the lack of basic amenities I understand that this is some form of short stay shared apartment complex, but if you've decided to make money over the summer and advertise it as lodging, then you should be ready to make your guests feel like there is some sort of service. No, towels do not comprise extra service in 2025, they should be provided. Rooms should be cleaned and sheets changed during the stay - maybe not every day but in the 5 days I was there nobody vacuumed anything once, to say nothing of the trash. Your sockets and electricity supply are also troublesome. As you did not care to provide a hairdryer when I asked, I went and bought one of my own, plugged it in and the thing promptly died. I thought, sure must be faulty but when I brought it back to the store it worked fine. Why is that? Well, because of the ancient and clearly not maintained infrastructure. Bathrooms, especially shared ones MUST be cleaned more often!! By day 3, all bar one had run out of toilet paper which nobody replaced??? And then you have the gall to write to me how I should take the trash out myself upon Check-out?

Location

First of all, the room I was given looked "nothing" like the photos on Booking.com. It was basically unfurnished, smelled like mould and dust, and was clearly not cleaned at all. As soon as I stepped in, my eyes started watering, I was sneezing non-stop, and my skin began to itch — clearly a health hazard. When I complained, instead of properly resolving the issue, I was told to go to a completely different address. I had to walk 10 minutes just to get there, dragging my luggage like a fool. After finally reaching that location, I received yet "another" room number and access code. I wasted over an hour trying to figure out where I was even supposed to stay. After a long trip from Manchester, this was an absolutely ridiculous situation to be put in. And no surprise, the second room wasn’t any better. It was filthy. There were hairs in the sink, the curtains were torn, and the toilet was disgusting. On top of that, I genuinely suspect the place has bed bugs — I woke up itching all over and now I have bites on my body. That is completely unacceptable and borderline dangerous. I was supposed to check out tomorrow at 10 AM, but I left today at 4 PM because I couldn’t take another minute. My skin is still irritated and I’m beyond disgusted. This was one of the worst accommodation experiences I’ve ever had. I demand a refund, and I suggest someone investigate the condition of that property because what I went through should "not" be happening to paying guests.
