Guest Reviews
- chelsea (10/5): best and affordable place! - beautiful well kept clean environment. in a lovely destination with everything you would need and more around you. i will defo be staying in the future and anytime i need to travel best place! nothing
- Helen (7/5): Comfortable - Central to Huntingdon On my first night I was staying on my own. At about 10pm I saw a face appear at the front door window. This freaked me out. I suggest for safety and privacy that you have a curtain.
The shower holder is broken so you can’t put the shower above your head unless you hold it.
- Matthew (6/5): Good sleep, but hard work for comfort - Convenient location, bed was comfortable. Little to no cleaning supplies, damages around the property, hot water cutting out part way through a shower, pressured to leave in the morning when I had paid for the comfort bundle that allows me to leave at 1pm instead of 10am
- Simon (10/5): Old Abacus Hse - As I have used so many times now over the last couple of years speaks for itself Being ill with a chesty cough.
- Stephen (8/5): - Being based in town centre No towels shower needs maintaining flat in Huntingdon
- Emma (3/5): Poor value for money - The decor The lack of provisions, communication, care and cleanliness
- Martin (2/5): Really disappointing stay, glad it was only one night!! - Central location near station. -Apt hadn’t been cleaned
-Radiator was hanging off wall so scared to touch.
-Only two towels provided and no linen for the couch, which wasn’t a sofa bed! -Advertised as slept 4 but was two single beds and two couches that didn’t fold out to a bed.
-Shower was really dirty and didn’t work properly.
-We found old makeup brushes on the floor of bathroom.
-No bin liners.
-No loo roll provided!
- Sian (2/5): Do not recommend - poor communication, standards, & noisy area - Space was good but cleanliness poor Huge problems and unable to contact hosts on arrival
Couldn’t get keys, shower broken, needed clean
Noisy and surrounding flats up all nights with bikes
Not suitable for professionals working
- Yusuf (10/5): -
- Philip (9/5): -
- David (7/5): -
- zahra (10/5): Felt at home - Just like pictures she very modern Key safe description was terrible couldn’t find it and delayed me getting in but now I no where it is will deffo be book this place again
- Andy (10/5): - Everything was great, thanks
- Waddams (9/5): -
- Stephen (8/5): Decent size property , let down by its position and lack of cleanliness ! - The property is a decent size Difficult to find , 16:00 - 10:00 rather than 15:00 - 11:00 as advertised (when I questioned this I was told it was booking.coms fault and 15:00 check in would cost an additional £20) radiator hanging off the wall , cigarette ash in one of the cups and the towels provided were tiny , the bedding wasn’t clean and the sofa was littered with stains ! It also lacks any privacy and any noise outside can be heard clearly
- Mbalenhle (7/5): Pleasant stay - Spacious , clean and very comfortable. Location is just perfect too. The shared bathroom was a shocker as I didnt realise it was. It does not specify in the advert. To make things worse, there are no locks on the door so privacy is very compromised. Hope they do something about this coz the place itself has great potential and we enjoyed our stay.
- Simon (7/5): -
- Maria (8/5): -
- Maxwell (5/5): 4 out of 10 due to communication and hot water problems - The apartment is very clean inside out. communication was VERY BAD, struggled to find the location, called several times before they sent me the exact location and pin number for the key safe.
Also, have to bath with cold water on the Sunday morning when we woke up. The hot water was not flowing apart from cold water. Called the phone numbers for the property owner and no one was responding after an hour - even with that they responded with text messages. Still hot problem was not solved for almost three hours and we ended up refreshing ourselves with cold water.
Called them again and asked if they could speak to me on the phone and they said their phone line is TEXT messaging ONLY.
They finally text and said I should leave the key behind.
Came back later in the night, we managed to get hot water but again in the morning when we were checking out the hot water stop again and didn’t bother texting them again.
Honestly the property looks clean and nice just like the pictures in the advert but Honestly speaking communication was really bad and believed they have programmed the hot water to stop working at certain time.
- Martha (9/5): A gem in the middle of the town. - With everything you might need in this beautiful and very clean one bed apartment. The pathway to the apartment but the people next door were friendly and helpful and made this, a very tiny "but". I had a couple of small issues but were rectified straight away.
- Jules (1/5): No bedding, no towels, no care, awful customer service - My friend and I arrived for a 2-night stay having asked them to make up the sofa bed in advance for one of us, which they were happy to do ('our team will ensure this is arranged'). On arrival, no made-up bed, no obvious spare bedding, no towels for the entire flat, no bathmat. Messages about this via the booking message system went unanswered. We eventually found a duvet, pillow and sheet scrunched up under the sofa, all bedding obviously used and even stained (see pictures), still no towels. After an uncomfortable night, and another message to them via the message portal they provided, finally an answer acknowledging fault ('it's unacceptable that you spent your first night without bedding...'), apologising, promising to rectify ('one of our staff will bring your requests') and to contact me personally. And then - literally nothing. No contact, no resolution, no answer to my increasing number of messages. They just ignored me until it was time to leave, and then had the gall to send a message asking if wanted to spend £20 on a late check-out and would I leave them a review!
So, here is their review. The customer service was non-existent, almost laughably so, it I hadn't spent two uncomfortable nights in used bedding with no towels available. Their 'luxury' apartment with 'private entrance' is in a dark alley at the back of a barber's shop, with access from the high street signalled by a hand-typed sign crudely gaffer-taped to the crappy door. The alleyway to the apartment door is littered with cigarette butts, and furiously smoking barbers and their mates on a break. The apartment is cheaply furnished, and lacking any comfort; the terrestrial TV signal doesn't work; the thundering footsteps from the flat upstairs start before 7am and go on until midnight.
- Elaine (5/5): Just ok - The property wasn’t clean on arrival. Facilities in the property were slim the check in and check out times were different on the website then what was communicated staff sent messages to say available to help but didn’t always answer the phone or communicated when requested to do so the cleaning lady was very friendly but I was charged for early check in and couldn’t avail of it due to the fact the apartment wasn’t clean was promised a refund but didn’t get it. I requested a late check out i sent messages and tried to phone the number but no one got back to me. Not a good service or customer service. On arrival bed clothes were dirty when I phone I was told they couldn’t be so that all cleaners send pictures of the apartment when they clean it so basically I was this believed so I had to send pictures to prove myself the sink was dirty and the counter tops were sticky and unclean
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steve (1/5): Very dissatisfied. We had looked forward to a short break, the cleanliness was unacceptable. - Location. Layout of apartment was great. Furnishings lovely, just dirty. Apartment had not been cleaned. I have raised a complaint, not that I expect a resolution. I will be leaving a review, I would hate to think of anyone else walking into what we had to. Just a basic clean would have been great. I am awaiting a reply from DH ApartHotels !! Photos have been sent. I am waiting to hear from them, before posting a review.
- Juliet (5/5): If you can afford it, book a hotel - - very lovely and homely looking flat with all amenities you may need
- However, heating was not working and I spent the two days trying to get warm under the quilt.
- in the middle of a dodgy, extremely dark alley in the centre with difficulty finding the key
- Rachel (7/5): Perfect for a little get away and nicely tucked away. - Spacious, nicely decorated. Bath/shower. The hot tap on bath is loose so was difficult to turn off.
- Msasa (9/5): Superb - Host was super assistive
- Lorna (1/5): Rip off - The heaters didn't work.... The shower fell down be cearfull
- Joana (7/5): Nice flat - Modern place
Quick response from the owner Needed cleaning as there were hairs and dust on the floor
The neighbourhood has potential to be a bit scary and unsafe at night. Fine on day light
- Susan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Michael (7/5): Convenient but needs improvement. - It was self catering. The apartment looked nice but the bedroom was very small. We could not find it as the instructions were inadequate. It should have explained that the door was down St. Clements Passage. We should have been told where the very convenient carpark was.
There was nothing in the kitchen to make tea or coffee. A teapot and a cafetiere. is not too much to expect. Also the base of the shower was very slippery and should have a non-slip mat. There were two people buy only one large and 2 small thin towel were provided. We only had 1 pillow each. We could not make the oven work. Our request for these items was ignored.
- Neythen (8/5): Very good - Smart looking, comfortable beds, good space, well equipped apartment. Suited our needs travelling with family. Advertised check in/out times on Booking do not match the hosts’ messages (hour later check in, hour earlier checkout). Tea/Coffee/Sugar pots in kitchen were dirty (make sure you take your own). A LOT of messages during the stay! Parking is not clear.
- Carole (2/5): Not finished or ready for guests - The property was very new, lots of space. The property wasn't where the postcode directed us. It took over 40mins to find the property.
The property wasn't finished.
Cooker didn't work,
No bedding for sofa bed
Sofa bedding wasn't suitable for any one to sleep on.
Completely miss solid the facilities, when notified they did nothing to help.
Sink leaked
No washing machine but exposed wire in bathroom
- Niall (1/5): Avoid DH Aparthotels - This property was made unavailable at the last minute and the alternative I was offered was still under construction and had some very poor safety issues such as an unlockable exterior door and a locked fire exit. After several attempts to discuss the situation with the hosts I moved to a Marriott and have received no response about the situation to this day.
- Magdalena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Terry (10/5): It was very good and exactly where I needed - Just what I was looking for very clean very tidy
- Germaine (10/5): Very comfortable & convenient. - Quiet, clean, comfortable and convenient location. Maybe some welcome tea / coffee sachets would be great until one is settled in.
- Kim (7/5): Good - When we had been travelling for 7 and half hours to get there and have to hunt for the property and the lock box was very frustrating. The instructions about where the lock box for the keys were wasn't very clear. There was no signs to show where to park or where the property was. Couldn't find the wifi router so couldn't access the wifi
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- James (4/5): Disappointing - Clean and tidy Took forever to find the key box - give specific instructions. Smelled of smoke inside
- Mohammad (9/5): Superb -
- Marta (10/5): Recommendable - Nice and clean apartment. Very confortable and in a very good location
- Pawel (8/5): Very good - Very nice place, fresh, big and ridiculous bargain for what it is Only bad thing is you can hear every step of a neighbour above you, but i guess it’s not a problem for a hard sleeper
- Matt (8/5): Very good - Comfortable Had to chase twice for detail of how to get the keys, waiting around in the rain as not provided in advance. Also a challenge to find wifi details (eventually found online) as no router in accommodation as advised.
- Martin (7/5): Smart stay, kitchen was high point. - Insufficient hot water. Shower went cold part way through second person, completely cold for third.
- Darren (10/5): Great value apartment - Property is stylish, comfortable and very good value for money. Slightly tricky to find and also to know where the parking is but it’s all worth it when you do.
- Gearbox (9/5): Excellent little apartment in a good location, ideal for a short stay. - Very quiet, secluded location.
Huntingdon is a nice place. Need slightly clearer instructions to find the apartment - need to say 'Go through the NatWest car park and turn left'
- Simon (9/5): Superb -
- Mike (9/5): A gem of an appartmet. Very clean, spacious and modern. The bed was very comfortable which was needed after a long day a - Spacious, modern and very comfortable. Also very quiet. Parking was secure, right outside the door of the property This wasn’t anything I didn’t like
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shannon (10/5): It's a lovely place to stay and great value for money. - absolutely loved it great value for money had everything I needed. I just bought some table coasters for the glass tables just to protect them which I think should have been there before but I don't mind the expense it's beautiful.
- Lee345 (9/5): Superb -
- Sally (4/5): Disappointing - There was no hot water. The instructions for the key box relate to a different property.
- Marina (8/5): Great location - Great location, walking distance to town centre and river. Comfortable beds. Kitchen well equipped. Very clean. Quiet place for a good night's rest. The shower pole is quite flimsy, needs fixing. It runs out of hot water quite quickly, so it is good only for quick showers. There isn't much light entering the property
- Parrascu (9/5): Good - The house was very spacious The entry to the location was dirty dark no lights around the area can's on the ground .
- David (8/5): Very nice apartment. Had trouble finding it as the instructions were not very clear. - Very nice apartment. Right in the middle of the town centre. No lock on the bathroom door. Not very easy to find. More detailed access information would have helped.
- Yvonne (9/5): Excellent accomodation in central Huntingdon, if you can locate it! - Clean, comfortable, spacious accomodation in central Huntingdon. Everything within walking distance. Very difficult to find! We drove round and around for an hour, even with directions, late at night after an overnight flight. It was more than frustrating. No signage. Better directions needed for visitors.
- Craig (10/5): Excellent property, very clean and comfortable with adequate parking. - Simon, the host was very helpful as I initially missed the additional info explaining where the key were and how to access the property. However, it was exactly as explained in the documents.
Again, parking was as explained and very close to the property.
Inside, the apartment was well furnished and had all the required utensils and was very comfortable.
- Ann (9/5): Ideal location and excellent accommodation - Very clean, well designed and very comfortable Nothing really. Suited us very well
- Karen (10/5): Perfect, just wish it had been for a social visit and not work! - Everything was perfect, great facilities and very comfortable bed. The accommodation had everything you need, pity it was for work! nothing , whole accommodation and facilities were excellent. Only issue was finding the parking as sat nav was useless, ended up calling the hosts who were excellent and talked me to the parking area.
- Colin (9/5): Superb -
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice full equipted big apartment in town centre of Huntingdon.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kerensa76 (8/5): Lovely apartment, great value for money - Beautifully appointed interior, comfy beds, good kitchen and good shower Was hard to find initially as the address is high street but the door is in a tricky to find courtyard but it was worth the effort. Could do with a mirror in the bedrooms, women need somewhere to do hair and make up ;)
- Anonymous (10/5): Excellent staff. Great communications from team. could recommend more highly. 😀 - spotlessly clean, excellent facilities, great location on the high street, and really close to big retail park.
