Top Studio

Good location nice garden could do with an upgrade bit dated good for the price

Shower was a bit mouldy and valance was staned

It was close to all attractions

Nothing

Great location

Not as clean as we’d hoped

Location perfect and the cute little patio are. Even being in the main touristic area the street was quite and perfect to sleep. It was easy to find not far away street to park the car for free not far away from the accomodation

Small sofa to share two when staying at the flat and maybe the bathroom small and interior with not ventilation, but this not sure it's much much can be done,

The location, the layout and the garden areat

The curiously named Top Studio – it’s on the ground floor – is set in a great location within walking distance of historic Lincoln, although the recommended parking was a bit of a hike. The property itself is a well-organised space, if a bit dated, and the small garden area was a bonus. However … the ‘nB’, (the hospitality) amounted to a few sachets of Maxwell House instant coffee, a box of decaffeinated teabags and some tiny plastic cartons of milk. The flat was cold – we followed the instructions for turning on the heating, but nothing happened. The next day we complained and had some welcome warmth, but by the following morning we were back in the cold. The kitchen featured an old, brown-stained cooker top and a cupboard that smelt of something unpleasant and unidentifiable. The bed was good, although it was barely covered by the duvet, and the standard lamp in the bedroom area didn’t work. The bathroom had nowhere to put things apart from a small cupboard with a wonky shelf, and the basin was impossibly slow to drain. By the time the hot water had come through, it had filled with cold water. It put us off using the shower. The pièce de resistance was coming back to the flat to find the outside door wouldn’t open, despite using the same, correct key code we’d used the day before. When we rang the property management company, a very unsympathetic individual insisted we were doing something wrong. Eventually he reluctantly agreed to come out, but said he would be at least 45 minutes as he was at work. We kept on fiddling with the door and finally discovered there’s a technique to opening the door which is to pull it towards you as you turn the lock mechanism.
