1 Riverside Apartments

Apartment 4: quiet room, didn't hear anything from the street or those staying in the apartments. Key-less entry was good and worked without fail all times. Very responsive to messages which was much appreciated as I wanted to book a late checkout on the day and this was arranged for me (late check out at 12pm is £20). Having a fridge was great and very helpful. I didn't use the microwave but it was good to have as an option. Shower had okay pressure and was hot within seconds. Okay for a couple of nights when you need a place to rest your head - not somewhere you could work out of it you're here on business.

Windows don't open - this was hard on one of the hottest weekends of the year. The room had a smell to it also which wasn't helped by the heat. I appreciated the plug in air freshener but the room just needs to be ventilated a little better. There were shorr hairs in the shower when I arrived which did put me off a little as it made me feel like it wasn't cleaned prior to my arrival. The TV remote didn't work very well (others have mentioned this) which made it hard to go onto other channels. The bedframe felt a little weak. In my opinion, it was a lot of money for the quality of stay/room I received.

Good response from team.. Got mattress changed and shower sorted ASAP. Car park next door

Tight entrance to car park road.

Location spot on

Floor boards squeak potentially annoying others beneath and next door, pu glue recommended under boards to solve this

Clean and Ideal Location.

Slightly misleading, no stovetop in the room, and extremely noisy from the road noises and people coming and going through the night. Bring Earplugs! A little pricey for what you actually get.

Riverside Apts is a budget option less than 200-yds from the station. Once inside the street door it is bright and well maintained. Apt-2 is at the back so there is no traffic noise. The flat is a clean 1-bed with shower room, and a sink, microwave, kettle, toaster etc built into a lobby immediately inside the door to the apartment. The hot water was good, as was the heating. It has a wall mounted TV. There is only room for 1 arm chair and no separate table.

The street entrance is off-putting (see street view). But if you want a budget room near the station within easy walk of the castle, cathedral and city centre this is a very good option.
