Parade Gardens Boutique Apartments- Central, Grade I Listed, 4K TVs, Hidden Views

De locatie is fijn tegen het centrum. Keuken en badkamer zijn netjes en fijn( wij hadden het onderste appartement deels in kelder) Je kunt zeker zien dat verhuurder wel de goede intentie heeft maar er zijn wel aandachtspunten. Zie verderop.

De tuin is een grote rommel. Er ligt met name vloerbedekking in woonkamer en hoofdslaapkameren en deze is enorm gevlekt/vies. Ook de bank die er staat is een en al vlekken. Dat is niet prettig. Verder is het wat vochtig in het huis. De waterdruk in de douche is te laag.. Het 2-persoonsbed is erg smal. Het gratis parkeren klopt niet. Dat is alleen in de nacht. Hierdoor moet je duur achter het appartementengebouw parkeren ( circa 25 pond per dag) of ver weg op een P+R.

I’ve used booking.com for the past 2 decades. I usually trust that stays will be safe and clean. This apartment is neither. I left in shock. The pictures explain all!

Electric wiring is a fire and electrocution hazard, the carpets were sticky, the whole place is filthy, it’s a complete disgrace. I nearly left yesterday but had to stay the night due to travel.

Excellent location, comfortable beds, decent size

Few issues. Lights didn’t work so there were LED s and lamps. Masking tape around light fittings. The smoke detector went off and the guy who came to check it said water had got in so suspect that’s why lights had been turned off. Top floor with a door straight out onto hazardous steps (with LED lights as a trip hazard). Shower came away from wall. Didn’t even try to use the kitchen.

Location, comfy beds, modern bathrooms

I didn’t like the idea we were being watched on cctv, makes you feel very uncomfortable 😣 and threatening fines etc. My daughter stayed in a property round the corner and didn’t have any of that! I couldn’t find a t towel, cups were unclean, sponge was smelly, stained carpets and sofas in lounge. Garden views weren’t great.

Location is great. Reasonably good flat.

Great location Great views over park Looks modern and has amenities but didn't test as ate out.

I was unimpressed when we got there to find other people's belongings in the apartment. There were two keys in the key safe and they had clearly taken then wrong ones. Yes the apartment manager rectified immediately by calling the other guests who promptly removed their belongings to the basement flat and they assured us they had simply dumped their bags but no apology from manager and he clearly couldn't appreciate us being unimpressed walking into a 'used' apartment. We were also asked to delay checkin from 3pm to 530pm as it hadn't been cleaned. Not a great start to stay. Should also warn guests on website that the Attic flat is exactly that with steep windy stairs to get to it. And apartment hall light is falling off the ceiling and held up with black tape with a note saying be careful - how about you fix it!? And over head shower was not attached properly and easily comes apart if knocked. Shower leaks in corner onto bathroom floor by sink. Bags of rubbish piled up outside front door not a great look either.

Location was great, as was the building. Inside the apartment was OK, little worn and stained carpets from a lot of guests I imagine. Bathroom and linen clean , kitchen modern .

Communication was poor. On arrival no cutlery not kne spoon to make a coffee or fork to eat with.. no cereal bowls or ordinary glasses only wine glasses and 1 pint glass likely from a pub ! Property sleeps 5 but there wasnt 5 of any kitchen items like glasses plates etc !! Yet it had a pasta making machine 🤔 I would suggest the owners do a full inventory before letting out again and actually consider what is needed and what is just there for no reason .We raised this via booking.com and got response the next morning. Strange ! And were told it would be raised with management. No further response nor any cutlery delivered - ended up purchasing a set from supermarket. Also advertised outdoor seating/ bbq/garden. This was hugely overgrown and unkept. The morning we left I saw a rat drink from some random metal tray that was left by the rusty metal bbq. Bench out there was also damaged with broken slats. Disappointed as weather was good we couldn't go outside to have a drink or relax or even leave door open for fresh air. Bathrooms were clean as was linen however shampoo/ soap dispenser was found in sink drawer as it had clearly broken off the shower wall. The 2nd bathroom downstairs in cellar it was on thr wall . Sofa well used and uncomfortable with old heavy cushions tossed on and 1x lounge lamp had no switch - when I tried to find it to put it on the works under base warranty broken and loose- owners again should just remove this and actually check everything functions and is accounted for as things were there that short term let's do not need and basic things everyone needs we're missing. Also 1x broken dining chair- why wasn't this removed? Has potential to be 5star but attention to detail and cleaning standards along with garden let it down .. Ironic the WiFi password was 5star reviews . Manager who contacted us was useless and didn't resolve issue

Clean and comfortable rooms.

No eating utensils, cutlery.

We planned our 7 hour journey to arrive at the agreed check-in time of 3pm only to find that the cleaner had not finished finished and requested we check-in at 4pm, yes we could leave our luggage but after 7 hours driving I wasn't in the mood for walking the streets. The front door key was missing from the keys left in the lock-box, I needed to ask the cleaner for another key otherwise we couldn't get back into the building. The garden was overgrown with nettles and was unusable. The whole apartment needs a deep clean.
