Host & Stay - St James' Studio

Very spacious and perfect for what we needed

The location was perfect. Very convenient and central to everywhere I needed to go. The studio had all the amendities I needed which was great.

The studio was dirty. The shower drain did not drain water properly. The shower and sink were filthy. Under the bed was very dusty. It would also be nice to sweep up the entrance to the studio to give a better first impression.

The location was good.

It wasn't very comfortable. The bed and bedding were cheap and uncomfortable. There were no bedside tables or bedside lamps, only the bright ceiling spotlights, so unwinding in the evening wasn't a pleasant experience. There was no hand soap provided. There was no bag drop option and check in was 4pm, which feels very late, and annoying to have to carry my suitcase around a conference all day. It was very expensive for what it was. Hotel prices without the comfort or perks.

The location was the best point of the facility. The hosts were prompt to correct all the points of concern.

The apartment was located on the 3rd floor and not at all suitable for elderly or disabled guests or anyone carrying luggage. There was a section of the stairway with no rail, making my 87-year-old mother and 62-year-old sister very nervous of falling. There was loose, uneven ground to navigate in order to access the apartment. There was difficulty exiting the entrances due to the codes being unpredictable. Neighbors helped and said that many people had similar problems. The description of a pull-out sofa bed was inaccurate. The sofa was a small sofa, not a pull-out bed. It was really a one bed apartment.
