    The fact that I was given the penthouse with the open roof. As early as 4am everywhere is bright and it disrupted my sleep.

    I love everything about the Appartment.

    My apartment was on 3rd floor. No lift. Walking up 4 flights of stairs no for faint hearted or unfit. Be warned. It was a very warm weekend. South facing windows. Very hot n humid. No AC. (Desperately needed) there was a portable oscillating fan supplied. Needed two. Plus all the outside ledges were home to every pigeon n seagull nests. Very noisy. In fact deadening.

    Property was well situated. Go right towards the docks area and the lovely Sunday markets. Go left into the city.

    In the ensuite bedroom, there is a skylight above the bed. When the sun comes up in the morning the whole room is extremely bright and difficult to sleep in.

    Loved everything, big bright, clean apartment. Huge balcony. Great location, parking very close by.

    Location was near center of town and to the docks. We had a room at the rear of the property which was quiet. Everything you could ask for was there but no lift (we were on the 2nd floor)

    On last day there was a building work taking place appeared to be near our room, banging started at around 9am continued until our departure and we had paid an extra £25 to check out later, disturbed our sleep and our final hours of stay.

    Great property, clean, well equipped and location ideal. unfortunately starting time of building work spoilt our last day.

    Roof light above the bed with no blind! Awake by 06am was not ideal after a late night out! Crazy there is no blind for this?! Was also given the wrong room at the beginning, so had to move rooms after going back to the owners. Paid for a balcony appartment, but got a regular Appartment. The price difference was over £40 so wasn’t going to accept the non balcony room.

    Nice balcony. Clean. Good location.

    Our only negatives were climbing the stairs, and that I seem to have misread the carparking charges because I thought I had paid for 24 hours and it appeared not to be the case.

    Central, next to the Priory , with many places nearby/next door to eat and drink, and with a car park behind (paying). A spacious apartment, with all the amenities for a loner stay.

    You have to check in at bar but they only have one member of staff manning the bar and checking guests in so you feel like you're inconveniencing the staff member. £250 deposit is a bit steep for a one night stay. It should be pro-rata. A bath mat would be useful in the bathroom. A bit noisy at night but to be expected.

    Very spacious apartment, well located to walk to quay, nice shower, clean. Bar it's attached to is nice.

    1. No parking provisions included HOWEVER nearby paid parking is available. I’d recommend parking in the multi-storey rather than the pricier open-air NCP parking. Would be great if a temporary resident e-permit could be granted to guests on request to park on the street, even if for a small fee and on a first come first served basis. 2. Having to carry my luggage and shopping up two flights of stairs as there’s no lift.

    1. Perfect central location! Shops nearby and only a short walk from the Gloucester Quays. Tesco express literally on the doorstep if you need to grab a few things to cook during your stay. 2. Very modern, stylish properly exceptionally clean with great space. 3. Option to add breakfast to your booking in the bar below if you really don’t want to cook.

    The shower was difficult to operate, the concierge was rude when I asked for help. I had to skip the shower. They also have these draconian conditions, paying £250 upfront for any damage. it took almost a week to get them back. It is to the cleaners to report no damage. No lift, had to go 3 floors carrying heavy weights twice, no help.

    Nothing much, the person on the phone would benefit from some training to be more courteous and polite.

    Everything was really nice and we were ok but bare in mind the appartments are on second floor and there is no lift.

    Very handy location for pubs, restaurants and supermarket. A very clean, modern appartment with all kitchen equipment one would need. A lovely modern shower and comfy bed.
