Signature House - Contemporary Studios in Coventry City Centre, free parking, by COVSTAYS

Clean, private kitchenette and ensuite. Comfortable bed, access to a laundrette in the building. 20min walk into town or 1 bus. 2min walk to a Co-op. Perfect facilities for staying in Coventry for work. Property owner was friendly and communicative.

Could hear other people in the hallway, but people were respectful and it was quiet during the night. Note - there is no allocated parking, its pot luck if you get one of 4 spaces, but it is possible to park on the road within a 5min walk of the building.

The studio has everything we needed for our stay and the location was perfect.

On arrival, we were unable to get the key for our apartment as we were not given an apartment number for the key box's, just a code, waited over an hour to see someone who eventually were able to let us have the key. There should be a direct number available to call, to be resolved quicker, the number given, it is just a voicemail, but we did get in eventually and we did have a lovely stay at the studio and would return.

Clean. The guy answered the phone very quickly and was engaged and helpful.

Beware. When you see "free on-site parking" this means that there is *some* parking on-site but not necessarily enough parking. This place had six parking slots for maybe 50 rooms, so the chance of actually being able to park at the place is pretty low. Booking.com need to fix this. It looked like this place had plenty of on-site parking. It was a good job we had our wits about us (or at least my wife did) because the parking belonged to the pub next door and there were dire warnings of fines for use by non-patrons. I'm sure many have been caught out by this. We ended up parking half on the pavement quite a distance away. Not ideal. I booked a couple of days beforehand and was told £100 deposit, ok no problem, I assumed this would be taken from card. When I called to get instructions and ask where my parking slot was (I didn't have one) I was told "you haven't done xyz, I can't talk to you until you've done that". I don't look at my emails every five minutes, especially when I'm stressed and late and driving, so I looked at my emails and there was an email sent 30 mins before checking in time that I had to action - why not get this done immediately on booking ? He also kept saying "we sent all the instructions (where to get keys etc)", well, if you did, I didn't get them. The air-conditioning was very noisy indeed. Rooting around in the booklet we found we could switch it off, but that, for some bizarre reason, disables the bathroom light. Take a torch in case you need a night time pee and don't want to wake your other half. The temperature was set to 23c, OK for some, way to high for us, and the window only opens a crack. TIP: there is a safety catch above and below the window retainer, pull them apart and you can open the window all the way to get some air in. Do this, and set the thermostat, before you go out for the evening and it might be comfortable when you get back.

Really good little 1 bed with a cooker, which was great, most 1 beds only have microwave and stove top. Parking added bonus too.

Nothing.

The location and the accommodation were good. I would definitely recommend 👌
