Orange Apartments Beechgrove Gardens

I loved it overlooking the gardens

The cooker was dodgy - the digital display was not clear - there was no manual on how the cooker worked. The TV did not work - batteries were missing from remote controllers - the picture was very fuzzy with it saying that there was no signal from the satellite dish. Horrible plastic smell in main bathroom -plastic toilet seat coating had melted, by probably using too strong cleaner on it? Also no blind at bathroom window. The door to the second bedroom made a terrible din every time in was opened and shut. The flat below and next door probably heard it. The curtains in the bedrooms were voiles - so incredibly thin - with it being too light in the bedrooms from daybreak / dawn. It was extremely hard to turn either of the showers on - anyone with weak wrists / weak grip would not have been able to do it.

The location was perfect for my needs, and the price was fair. There was a lovely view over the garden, with beautiful trees.

On the Orange apartment website, they use words like stunning, stylish, and luxury and this is what I was expecting to see. However this was not the case. In fact I would say that it was cheap and tired, very tired. The mattresses in one of the rooms was dire, there were holes in the wall of the bathroom, the showers were almost impossible to turn on, the cutlery was so flimsy they bent when used, the lighting was horrific, the decor shocking and offensive, the kitchen, though clean, was rough and tired, the washing machine was missing the cabinet door, the oven looked like it had seen better days, The fridge door opened the wrong way, the bedding was plastic - by that I mean, the cheapest possible. It looked like it was thrown together in the cheapest possible way, with the cheapest possible products, with no attention to detail or care for its upkeep. It was fine, a place to stay uncomfortably for a night or two, but luxury, stylish and stunning it was not. The expression 'every possible expense spared' would sum it up.

Clean comfortable beds and a good location for our needs

Nothing

It was a great location and easy to get to the hospital.

The kitchen had water damage and the floor moved so it felt a bit unsafe. The sofas and beds were very soft, the pillows did not have protectors and therefore were quite stained from use. The shower was not clean, I had to remove the mould from the corners and grout. There was a lot of dust behind the radiators which fell out over the week I was there.

Nice clean large apartment strangely couldn't get any of the two shower's to work but the bath was fine bit of a walk to the main centre of the town but a taxi is only 5to 7 pounds

Going up and down the stairs in the close but being super picky

Location was great and free parking was a bonus.

The decor was dated and tired, TV screen picture was washed out and no Netflix even though it was listed in the book, floors were really creeky, shower was dated, cutlery was poor quality. The bed in the bedroom without the en-suite was really uncomfortable.

Location - key arrangement

Good location, quiet , dedicated parking space, nice garden and the ability to accommodate our pets.

Beds were not comfortable you could feel the springs, TV was not in good condition with poor quality and lines running through the screen, there was a hole in the bathroom wall, kitchen could be upgraded, there was damaged floors, cupboards and no plug in the kitchen sink. Lack of kitchen utensils and the cutlery is very basic. Overall the property could use upgrading.

Clean. Light. spacious. Lovely outlook on your gardens. Great location by the BBC. Staff v helpful

Slightly dated kitchen and bathroom but all appliances worked well & water pressure in the shower was great. Would have been more convenient to collect keys in a key safe at the property.
