City Centre Wallgate Apartments- Step back into Roman history

Location was perfect

The nice and quiet terrasse and the comfortable bed. Not far from the center.

Some useful things were missing, like kitchen paper roll. A little noisy on the street side. Close to the center but down a hill, so a walk up to go. Cleaning was not perfect in the bathroom and the terrace. I forgot a belonging and never could get it back.

Using a key code to enter made us feel very secure, not needing to carry keys with us.Parking space was ideal and area had sensor lights,perfect when returning in the dark.Balcony was great for the summer eve to have a drink.Flat was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a short break.Five min walk up hill to town.

Flat was on busy main road,very noisy at night,windows were not double glased which might of dulled the noise of traffic- ear plugs a must for light sleepers!

Good location – in the City center. Good finishing of the apartment. Good communication with the owners. A romantic place – this is an old Victorian building - one can see the wooden beams (in a very good condition) which hold it.

As I said, the building is romantic and old. But in old times, the quality of life was less than nowadays. That is why the staircases are narrow and steep, the ceiling is low, the sizes of the apartment and the bathroom are small, and the windows are single-glazed. After I pay on Booking.com the owners informed me that I need to pay an additional returnable safety deposit. There was no information on Booking.com about this.

My sister and I stayed for 4 nights in apartment B, and it's a good little place in a fabulous location, just a few minutes from the town centre. Parking was so easy, right outside the building, and we liked the coded entry, and didn't mind the stairs! The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds and everything was very clean and welcoming. We loved the Jack & Jill bathroom, apart from the niggle as mentioned below. The main flat area had almost everything we needed and it was a relief to find it nicely aired as there was a heatwave the week we stayed! The traffic noise was pretty high, but we did get used to it and it wasn't an issue overnight so we slept well. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and I would recommend a stay here, especially if a few key issues are resolved.

The seating definitely needs attention, as the sofa bed isn't comfortable to sit on, very hard after a while and unsupportive. It seems odd that this has been mentioned several times and not been changed as l'm sure overall ratings would improve. The folding chairs are very precarious, not particularly stable and as you pull the seat under you to shuffle forward, you risk trapping your fingers as the seat lifts up and then snaps back into position when you sit down. The light and fan coming on at night when you open the bathroom door is a bit distracting and does wake you up fully, so perhaps an off switch or timer for this would help?
