Cuckoo Rooms

Nice room and appreciated the kitchen.

Hallways smelled smokey.

The location of the hotel is very central, we reached everywhere on foot , it was perfect. The room was very clean. There is no street noise, but there are very sweet bird sounds that did not bother us, we like to wake up with the sounds of birds. Thank you to cuckoo rooms for this wonderful holiday

We booked the apartment with a kitchenette, combined with the sitting room and bedroom with ensuite separated by a door. The rooms looked good in the photos, and at first glance when we got there; but in reality we quickly learned that while effort had been put into their original design it was sadly lacking in ongoing maintenance and upkeep; with several things broken.

The worst were noises, in particular, we were woken early morning by a rat scratching in the loft above the bedroom. We contacted the owner that day & she offered us to move to a bedroom 1 floor up, with bathroom but without a sitting area/kitchenette. Instead, we were allowed to continue using the sitting room/kitchen downstairs, while the bedroom we used on the 1st night was locked & key taken away. If we needed the bathroom or get anything from a suitcase/wardrobe we had to go upstairs, this was hardly convenient as we had to move everything from the 1st bedroom & bathroom upstairs to the new one that evening; & each time had to remember two 7-digit codes to enter both rooms, plus the 2 other codes for the doors to enter the property, totalling 4! Also, the owners’ statement that they had never had rats there before didn't match the look of a vent in the sitting room/kitchen (see photos). Even though sleeping in the new bedroom was rat-noise free, there was plenty of early morning noise coming from excited pigeons, loudly celebrating their courtship on a windowsill right outside our one-pane windows. I had to get up several times to open a window to scare them off. Everything in the yard outside was covered with anti-pigeon spikes, yet, the windowsill was left bare & so welcoming for very noisy morning pigeons’ parties. Additional problems included the lock faceplate on the bathroom door in the 2nd bedroom being warped & sticking out so it was impossible to close that door, and had clearly been that way for some time from the amount of wood it had knocked out of the door surround above the lock keep; constantly dripping kitchen tap, loose toilet seat that slid to the side, the throw on the bed with burned through holes, frayed ends on several towels, all signs of poor ongoing maintenance.

Nice place to stay in with some damage to ceiling in the bathroom, but not a problem with a short stay. Great contact with the landlord. The street noise coming in may be an issue for those who prefer a total silence. A gift for a good start of the stay was a nice touch. Thank you
