Watergate Penthouse - NEW 2 bed luxury apartment in City Centre

location was fab, comfy beds

noisy whistling window in large bedroom toilet door not shutting properly

the location and being dog friendly

no key in key box so standing in front step trying to contact landlord, constant smell of smoke from neighbouring flat, many stairs up to flat (no lift) no hot water in kitchen nor bathroom taps, shower terrible no temperature regulation and just a trickle, excessively noisy from outside street clubs and from downstairs flat, sharp edges on kitchen counters, bathroom sliding door broke and my husband got stuck inside and there’s no tv just Apps to watch like iPlayer Netflix etc. lots of these negative comments are already written up on Tripadvisor reviews so nothing is being addressed.

bed was comfy and breakfast bar was good

very very noisy outside because of the pubs and only single glass windows. the flat wasn’t very clean. the shower was pretty poor.

The location was great for shopping and being close to restaurants and bars. I’ve to have TVs in the bedrooms and the beds were comfy. Modern kitchen and decor was nice.

Shower - As mentioned in many reviews the shower is not good. The head doesn’t fit in the holder properly and it’s also positioned so close to the wall that you have to stand up against the wall to get under the shower. It was impossible to regulate the temperature which was very annoying. Also extremely unsafe with a shower tray to step up on to with no non slip mat and no safety handle. Cleaning - Could have been better in the kitchen. Sofa - As a group of 4 adults it was disappointing to have only a 3 seater a sofa, an extra bean bag would have done the trick!

I liked it being close to local restaurant bars etc

The radiator in bedroom and living room did not hear the bathroom dor kept fallin of hinges ... The was hole in floor with carpet down my grandson went down on his foot and sprained in .

The property is extremely central and all the shops, restaurants and bars are within a few mins walking distance. It is located very close to a reasonably priced car park which made carrying all our shopping bags/cases a lot easier as we didn’t have far to go. It was nice to have the breakfast bar area where we could sit around and eat together. Each bedroom has a TV and there are heaters, an iron and ironing board and also hair dryers available which was a nice addition.

Unfortunately there was no hot water in the bathroom or kitchen taps. As some others have mentioned, it can be quite noisy when groups are walking past and the bins are emptied early in the mornings but it didn’t disturb us too much, just something to be aware of, maybe take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Great central location for shops, eating and sightseeing, and modern apartment

Very little hot water in kitchen and bathroom, & trickle of water from the shower. Owner came round on second evening to try and sort but didn’t resolve the issue. Extremely noisy at night as people left restaurants & bars as there are only shutters and no curtains to absorb the noise. As others have said apartment needs some general ‘tlc’.

location

not much hot water in the taps or shower, some things were broke such as toilet roll holder hanging off, door knobs hanging off, shower not powerful at all even with little hot water, toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet, the bathroom door came off it’s roller and if somebody else hadn’t of been in the apartment I would have been stuck. It needs a bit of TLC to be honest.

The property is really lovely with good facilities. Plenty of hot water for showers etc. It is in a great situation for shopping, restaurants and bars etc…. just very very noisy.

Very noisy outside on Watergate Street with music, late night revellers, singing, fight at one point so police arrived. This kept my sisters awake on both Friday and Saturday night. I slept in the bedroom at the back and so heard nothing.

Lovely apartment, excellent position

Could not get normal TV to work, no hot water coming out off the kitchen/ bathroom taps The cleaners need to check the crockery and cutlery
