• Syed (7/5): It’s a good place to stay but I don’t recommend you. Because, they will ask you for a deposit to send in their account ( - The property was quiet and had parking. It required to deposit money and I didn’t receive my deposit back even though it is over a month. I had to sent my account details two times but nothing happened yet.
• Bariwala (7/5): -
• Quadri (1/5): The jacuzzi is a scheme to lure you to book the appointment afterward you’ll get a message from the property that the ap - Unpleasant and unreasonable experience The jacuzzi is a scheme to lure you to book the appointment afterward you’ll get a message from the property that the apartment with the jacuzzi is a different price and you won’t get a refund for your booking so make sure you confirm before booking thanks
• Victor (1/5): - It was a very terrible experience staying here, in fact, I have myself to blame for choosing this place. No heating, poor support. They are yet to refund my deposit. I am definitely taking official and legal Actions against them. Terrible people!
• Laura (10/5): - It was clean and in good location The key fob out side was playing up but apart from that all good
• Rukevwe (7/5): -
• charlotte (1/5): - scam
• Darren (1/5): Avoid.. get a hotel - Absolutely atrocious Terrible staffing issues Rude and impossible to deal with Cheap for a reason .. put a couple extra pounds in and stay at a proper location/ hotel where you are safe and looked after I dare say the pictures are completely the opposite, Its the place where you actually expect blood on the mattress.. complete change needed here, especially in management.. Just get a hotel dont waste your time Everything Substandard in every respect
• Nykia (8/5): Nice room for a weekend. - The property was nice and unique. The room I booked was nice and spacious. Shower had music and lights which was different. The shower had a leak which made the floor slippery.
• Amanda (1/5): Too ask for £150 security deposit before they will give you a code to get in is discusting, - Not a lot It’s said breakfast included it was a stale bread roll and a croissant no milk for tea or coffee, shower didn’t work
• Rowan (1/5): -
• Julie (2/5): Waste of time - The photos from inside looked lovely No onsite parking could only park at street parking wasn't prepared to leave our vehicle in a communal parking area in that area with it being a run down housing estate. Wasn't made clear of this at the time of booking or would not have booked. Asked for a passport or driving licence as proof of identity before we could access the building also wasn't aware of this? Don't carry either with me so couldn't stay after all and we have driven over 2 hours from leeds ended up in a travel lodge for the night so lost money. Word of advice make things more clear to people. Total waste of time!!!!!
• Blayne (5/5): - The cleanliness and how modern it was. I had sound noises with the neighbours and the owners did not sort it out so got no sleep
• Ravinder (8/5): -
• Tania (7/5): Value for money - Comfortable stay. Room was warm on arrival and the cot ready assembled. Easy access and convenient car park. Communication with host was good. It took a week to be reimbursed the £150 damage deposit but it does state this before booking. Breakfast was meant to be included but this wasn’t left in the room - although this did not impact our stay.
• Thompson (10/5): -
• Bhawna (1/5): - Nothing bed was not clean and i got rashes on my body Not water to drink bedsheets are not clean
• Ramsaya (10/5): - Everything The cleanness Everything
• Anja (5/5): -
• Anja (5/5): Opholdet var rimeligt - Beliggenheden var super fin Super mange kanaler i tv’et Kommunikation var meget dårlig/de er meget langsom til at svare Brusebadet var meget beskidt toilettet sad ikke fast i gulvet & toiletbrættet sad ikke ordentligt fast på toilettet Der var ingen morgenmad som beskrevet Der var mulighed for at riste brød men man kan ikke vaske op, kun i håndvasken på toilettet ( måske ikke det mest praktiske & hygiejniske) Vi var der i 4 overnatninger men i den tid var der ikke rengøring eller skift af håndklæder, & ingen toiletpapir. Nogle af værelserne har fælles bad & toilet Hvilket heller ikke er beskrevet nogen steder da vi bestilte
• Aslan (10/5): It was a good short stay and I was taken care of - Location, cleanliness, quick entry and spacious rooms
• Priya (10/5): - Everything was super good.The stay felt calm and pleasant.Moreover,Miranda was in contact with me throughout the stay,guiding me about the location and transport.She is a fantastic lady.Overall,I would say that I had a great experience. It would be better if you could add room fresheners in the toilet,because it kept smelling very bad each time we used the toilet,might be because of no ventilation.There is a window in the toilet but can't be opened while using the toilet.This was the only thing that made us a bit upset.Otherwise everything was amazing.
• Andrew (4/5): - The room and facilities were good. It was so LOUD. The fridge was buzzing all night, then other residents came in around 10pm and were basically elephants until 1am. Everything could be heard. Barely slept.
• Caroline (7/5): -
• Harry (8/5): -
• Kiran (6/5): But I did like the space :wish I came earlier lol. - I liked the jacuzzi,the cleanliness was brilliant the garden view was gorgeous I didn't like there was no air con in the jacuzzi room,the running bike displayed outside the jacuzzi room doesnt even work .had a euro plug ? The kitchen was very minimal.
• JINDER (10/5): -
• Aadam (10/5): -
• Mahmadou (10/5): Beautiful - Everything Everything was good I love it
• Elllie (1/5): It was awful wouldn’t recommend - The jacuzzi was only really the best part of the hotel There was marks on the wall, promised a 150 deposit back, contacted them about this and they blocked my number, the walls all had marks, the shower leaked and didn’t work, which I informed them of and they said I had to notify them which I did in my stay, the heating wasn’t on and it was freezing, nobody told us where we could turn it on, the door wouldn’t lock to the jacuzzi suite whatsoever

Staff were so helpful, and communication was good. The room was VERY clean ! Description was spot on for the room ! I had my deposit back as stated, and there were no issues. The owners were pleasant and responsive ! No issues getting into the room or checking out ! Would like to thank the owners for being so kind and understanding about my son and quick response to getting a bed !!! Would recommend!!! Only negative was just condensation/mold issues.. However you can see humidifiers in property so owners are trying!
• Suhail (4/5): Scam, they refuse to return your security deposit - Good location Am still awaiting return of my security deposit, just is now playing dead. This is a scam, avoid at all costs. Also there is no hot tub, be safe before booking.
• Faustina (9/5): - The room was very clean 👌 At first, the communication was not impressive

• Alexandra (4/5): -
• Nafisa (3/5): - I see the picture they have kichen and different things aswell but noo
• Rasool (1/5): Terrible place avoid.., - Nothing Booking stated breakfast was Included but it wasn't The room was tiny The shared bathroom was even smaller and it was impossible to use the sink as the loo was in the way.. And it had a really nasty smell The host was ignorant and didnt as answer my questions. Had to wait in the garden for ages before I was told the key code The noise from the above flat kept me up all nite.. Plus doors slamming was very annoying The hot tub was 70 extra and the pictures are deceiving The whole experience was terrible I woild not stay again and can't recommend this place
• JackDee (9/5): -
• Hamala (9/5): Definitely gonna prefer this place again - It was a comfortable and cozy place to stay Calm nd Peaceful environment
• mayowa (5/5): -
• Arunima (9/5): Worth of money - Clean and neatly arranged ,steam shower bath Kettle was rusted
• Innocent (9/5): Superb -
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ali (10/5): Great relaxing evening - How nice and warm the jaccuzi was and how easily it was to access the property without any issues or problems and how the property manager or owner was very helpful and friendly to help us get into the property quick and reliable and safe
• Wuraola (1/5): This property is not fit for occupancy and should be closed immediately. My family has never been exposed to such a leve - We were unable to access the property until after 5:00 PM. The cleaner who attended had to climb a ladder to gain entry and let us in, which was highly unsafe. Due to the delay in accessing the property and the extremely hot weather conditions, we sadly lost our pet in the process. My daughter was left traumatised by the state of the environment. The entire apartment was in an unacceptable condition—every area was extremely dirty, including the bathroom. The level of cleanliness was appalling and far below any reasonable standard. Additionally, the cleaners on site were rude and demonstrated very poor customer service. There was a complete lack of communication from the service providers, and the staff who attended to us were unhelpful and dismissive. Nothing
• Mudiaga (7/5): Good -
• Cernel (7/5): Good -
• Pritchard (1/5): Bad - Never got in as they didn’t turn up or send me the info I needed. After an hour waiting in the rain I booked another place nearby at my own expense. Avoid at all costs
• Laura (3/5): Poor -
• Daniel (7/5): Good - Good place to stay, some confusion at times with the gate code, but not too bad. Staff always answered the phone and were very helpful. What's with the castle view thing? Inside joke or something:-) I didn't miss it, im not in Oldbury for the castle view, but why advertise it if there is no castle view?
• Hannah (9/5): Superb -
• Brooklyn (9/5): 9/10 would stay again! :) - The decoration is modern, very lovely layout, basic but everything you need! Lovely facility, lovely location, very nice staff. Under the impression we would have the hot tub but didn't realise that was only 1 room in the building. Advertisement could be more specific.
• Seedy (10/5): Nice clean and tidy - Well the property was well organised and clean. It wasn’t what I was looking for. The idea was to book an appointment I have travel with foods that need to be cook and store in the fridge Contacted the Lady on the phone she agreed for a full refund which I have We booked if I need the accommodation without Kitchen I thought it was a apartment with kitchen turns out it wasn’t
• Baljit (1/5): Bad -
• Mahamadou (8/5): Very good -
• Jegadeshbalan (9/5): Superb -
• Rebeka (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lukasz (9/5): Go for it! - Great place for stay! Fully recommend!
• Seth (10/5): 10* - Martha's exceptional service Nothing this resort is impeccable
• Singh (1/5): Bad - Also, I feel like it’s a bit of a scan the way it’s advertised because it leads you to believe that there is a Jacuzzi that can be used at the apartments when obviously that’s not entirely true Well it’s not the best location. The room was very small although it was tidy and breakfast included means bread, jam and butter so for that reason I do think it is overpriced for what it is. I need refund back. I’m not happy at all.
• Thompson (8/5): Very good -
• Aiyub (1/5): Very careful before you book this appointment - One of the worst experiences in my life i come out without bath and without breakfast because sawer only very hot 🔥 water no mixer tap breakfast is all over data toilet is sharing very bad call answering very rude Nothing
• Sayef (8/5): Very good -
• Rachel (8/5): Good value - Clean and good value for money. Bit noisy
• Jurgita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Singaravelu (9/5): Convenient place for a short stay - The flat had everything needed for a short stay. Nothing specific, Parking was not at the property but there was a free parking close by which wasn’t very busy.
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liselothe (2/5): Very poor - The owner is rude
• Kommula (10/5): Exceptional -
• Keith (8/5): Very good -
• Bibianah (4/5): Disappointing - The shower is not user friendly only very hot water and there are no instructions the host did not answer the phone
• Faulkner-harper (10/5): Exceptional - Clean tidy and quite, host had great communication
• Chedumbrun (1/5): We did not not stay and we did see that a deposit of £150. - The property is not apartment only rooms and there are no kitchen as shown on the pictures. The details are misrepresented. No one available. The owner asked us to leave immediately and drop the keys in the box and we did. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REFUND YET. This place is not like it is described and it is not boutique apartments. Premier Inn is better and cheaper. It’s not apartment as described and the breakfast is two prepack croissants
• Okani (2/5): Terrible experience - Nothing, since we didn't even get to sleep in the room. In a nut shell, imagine paying for a room and being locked out of it! In a city you're visiting for the first time! No one was on site. It's a hospitality business, so someone should always be on site. Keys were very weak and flimsy. The doors were extremely difficult to open, probably because the locks are old, rusted, or haven't been serviced in a very long time. We ended up not sleeping in the apartment and had to book somewhere else at the last minute, in the middle of the night, because the doors (both front and back) wouldn't unlock. We knocked but no one opened the door, called the contact number but no response. No compensation, proper apology or refund whatsoever. It was a very terrible experience for us. The next day (which was our check out day), we came in early in the morning only to find the door unlocked and left open.
• Berita (1/5): the owner made adjust to our booking and ended up homeless and it was my mum's big bithday . Had visistors from aro - the jacuzii was dirty.
• Milinda (3/5): Very bad. I had to leave the place early. Manager women needs to learn how to treat customers. - Manager was very rude, not accommodative at for basic requirements. It is basically a house share with shared bathroom which was not clean. there were long hair inside the bath tub. Manager was very bossy and extremely rude. She wanted to put some of my bags in the dustbin, then she wanted me to take them out saying that they cannot go in the bins. and she threaten me couple of times asking me to leave. Hot water, temperature cannot be controlled, it becomes too hot in a few seconds when I raise this she went on lying and gasliting. I couldn't have a proper shower for the entire time. So I left early
• Kyron (8/5): Very good -
• Abdul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Foxall (8/5): Very good -
