Location is good and 15min walk to shopping centre. The room is clean. Easy check in and out but the door lock of our room is difficult to open. Overall, we will recommend.

Hotel was advertised as coming with parking. It does not. There is only on street parking which was full when we arrived. There is lots of police signs around advising thefts are very common in the area. Was advised would get check in details before 3pm (official check in) but instructions were not sent until after 3pm. Room was freezing. Very thin walls could hear other guests the whole time. Would not recommend

Hi Kathleen, We are extremely disappointed to see your review. Firstly, the apartments do have two dedicated Pillo Rooms car parking spaces to the side of the building which can be used by guest on a first come first serve basis. There is also ample on street parking around the apartment, you are the first guest to raise parking as an issue in the 4 years we have been hosting here. Please also note that in the 4 years we have been hosting at the apartments there has not be one report of a car being damaged or stolen. Our offices are also within the same building and the CEO parks his car within the area on a daily basis. Access information is automatically made available via guest boarding pass 5 mins before their scheduled check in time. We also send a message to guest 15 mins after their scheduled check in to ensure they are aware the check in is not available. The apartments within this building all have heating which is controlled by the guests during their stay, the process for the heating is provided to all guest as part of the property manual. Overall we are extremely disappoint with your review and we do not feel it is an accurate account of a stay with us. Kind regards,

Noisy but good stay
The overall stay was lovely. The apartment was spacious and clean and the bed was comfy. However the location didn’t feel the safest as it is in the middle of an industrial park which feels very isolated from the city centre. Also the apartments are very noisy, we had neighbours who came back at 2 am and we’re arguing/talking very loudly and I could hear every single word and every footstep and door slam our entire stay. The apartments are very well equipped but are missing essentials like a tea towel, we had to use a bathroom towel to get things out of the oven and why have a dishwasher but not provide dishwasher tablets! We did however appreciate the free parking and the walk to town is doable about 30mins. Overall I would use pillo rooms again and enjoyed my stay.

Terrible!
We couldn't get access even when we tried contacting them. We had to rebook elsewhere and even though we made a number of our attempts we couldn't get our money back. Neither through the place direct or Hotels.com.

Hi Karen, We believe this review is extremely unfair and inaccurate. We have evidence to support the fact that the team reached out to you a number of times on the day of your scheduled check-in. However, despite our numerous emails, you did not respond or reach out to us regarding your stay. In light of this, your reservation was marked as a no-show and our cancellation policy was applied.Kind regards,
