Sleep on the Steepest Street in the World!

Cool to stay on steepest street. Clean. Warm.

Parking at the base of the hill and walking up haha

The room and facilities were clean and comfortable. I managed to walk up to the seat which I wouldn't have managed if I didn't stay there.

I didn't like that you are not supposed to leave your car in the driveway. I was the only one staying so I did leave it there - I was actually nervous driving on the steep hill (my fault i didn't take that into consideration when I booked) Managed to manoeuvre and was able to drive out so was much better.

Staying on the world’s steepest street is an interesting and unique selling point, but guests should be aware that if you’re driving, you’ll likely need to park at the bottom and walk up and down a lot of stairs — which can be tiring. The only real advantage was the cheap price. But honestly, we’ve stayed in other accommodations at a similar price point that provided much better cleanliness and care. I hope the host takes this feedback seriously and makes some improvements.

We arrived around 6 PM, but the room wasn’t ready yet. We were asked to self-check-in and still had to wait for a while before everything was settled, which was quite frustrating after a long journey. The room had a strong damp and unpleasant smell throughout our two-night stay. There were noticeable water stains on the bedside table, which made it feel like the place hadn’t been properly cleaned. As for the kitchen, I hope the host considers upgrading the stove. It’s very old, constantly turning off on its own, and there was melted cheese stuck on it from previous guests — absolutely disgusting 🤢. Cooking in the kitchen was a terrible experience.

Owner answered texts when asking about the TV, remote for dvd, internet, plate ! Had a microwave, toaster, kettle which we utilised. Had a stove top (we didn't use). Fridge in shared kitchen area. Shower gel provided. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided. Powdered milk.

Unfortunately check in isn't till 6pm which meant that it was dark and wet trying to get to the property. The property is on the steepest street in the world and we were driving slowly up trying to locate the property so we could drop our gear off, but our car started slipping backwards ! Being able to check in whilst it is light outside would make a huge difference. The set up is 2 bedrooms either side of a lounge/kitchen area. I booked both rooms so knew we'd have the lounge/kitchen to ourselves, however, it is not set up for families to sit in the lounge/kitchen area. On arrival, the kids upstairs (owners area) were shouting and banging. This stopped around 7:45pm. We stayed for 2 nights and didn't hear them the next night. In the lounge area is tv but can only watch DVDs on it. There are a huge range of DVDs to choose from, however, only a few in our taste as a lot are foreign (nothing wrong with that). However, when we tried to play a DVD, as there is no remote for the DVD, the cursor was stuck on 'trailer' and we couldn't move the cursor across to 'play'. So, we tried again with another DVD. 40 mins into Zombieland it stopped, however, we couldn't fast forward over the glitch, as again no buttons or remote. Our planned family night was cancelled, we had to watch the individual small TV's in the bedrooms (normal tv). No remote for the heatpump in the lounge area. Unable to adjust the temperature. On the first night, we logged in to the internet. Had to ask after 20 mins why was it turned off... Thankfully it was turned on again. No hot water the first night so unable to wash the pots or have a shower. No washing up liquid (empty bottle) so the dishes were slightly dirty on the shelf. I used hand soap to wash up. On the second night, whilst preparing to eat tea, discovered only 3 plates ! I paid for 4 people. When I texted the owner, he brought an extra plate so we could eat our tea together.

The room was comfortable and the location made my stay. The facilities were also good with a comfortable bed.

There was a lot of noise from the residents upstairs which is expected when staying in someone’s house but with there was constant banging and running around of the children. Also the cleanliness of the room could have been improved there were hairs in the bathroom and shower and the carpet had a lot of crumbs all over it.
