The property is overall really good, the bed was comfortable. The staff was really good they provided me with extra towels at no additional cost. Safe parking and location of the hotel is exactly to be on point, especially if you are visiting the city center.

There was a problem with a first room during first night in block 90. All night people were walking, yelling,floors were squicking, then at 3 am someone began dropping dumbbells on the floor ...
But fortunately the hotel reception person switched us over to block 94 to the top floor and it was quiet and nice ,better shower room . Maybe the room needs extra clothe hangers , other than that we were satisfied and thanks to reception gentleman who allowed us to park for free in the form of compensation for the first night of no sleep.

Basic doesn’t cover it! So called apartment (it definitely wasn’t an apartment unless a sink and microwave makes it one) was definitely not as advertised or pictured. Very bare and basic, nowhere to sit and no tv (apparently it came with a 32” smart tv in the description). City view did not exist either with one tiny high up window just showing a littered tarmac roof. Walls and other areas were not very clean although the bedding, towels and sink were fine. No place to put clothes or items, no desk/table, no bedside tables, no lamps (only one main bright light), no pictures or anything on the bare dirty walls and one massive concrete post bang in the middle. It was a convenient location though.

Thought I was getting an apartment but ended up with a room so small I could barely move. Not at the address provided so had to phone to find out where to check in, was given no information before hand.
Awful bed and the noise outside made sure I got no sleep.
Would never stay again, probably my worst experience

Avoid..... Absolute rubbish. Reminds me of bad student digs AFTER A PARTY.
Microwave... Not working. TV... Not working, A sink in the room. Shower is separate which I knew. I paid a lot of money for this, NOT AS ADVERTISED.
Arrived back after work at 01:30 to discover a guy at the entrance who told me he was trying to check in, noone around so he "helped himself" to a few room keys so he could find a room to sleep in. There was a drunken party in one of the rooms so no sleep for me!!!!
The proper action would be for this property to refund my £75.00.

It was basic and clean. Good reception service.
It was however very difficult to find with a small innocuous paper sign but a hard to notice entrance. It is up the side of the richer sounds shop.
You have to pay on arrival by bank transfer as there is no card machine.
There was a cooker and hob, microwave, toaster, fridge/freezer and kettle available in 3 bed apartment but not enough cutlery, plates, dishes, cookware or glasses which was a bit frustrating!

Stayed 31 Oct–1 Nov 2025 at Any One Apartments (booked via Hotels.com). The experience was disappointing from arrival: waited ~15 minutes outside due to lack of staff support and found access confusing with multiple locks. The listing was misleading—what I expected to be a self-contained apartment had key facilities (sofas/TV) in a communal area, and the room itself was very small. The shower was lukewarm and the holder broken, so it had to be handheld. The bed was too small for a 6-ft adult. Noise insulation was poor (thin walls and self-closing doors that banged). Staff were polite but appeared overstretched, and communication about a refund has been unsatisfactory. Overall, not recommended based on this stay.

Last minute to watch a show at the NX so this was a perfect location. Room was quite small but I was a solo traveller so ok for what I needed. Room was well equipped with a fridge and microwave thay I wasn't expecting although no cutlery lol.
Check in was good when I got there, very clear instructions from the host.
Room was warm and the window didn't stay open. The shower was attached with duct tape but still worked.
Room was clean
