Great room however very little to no natural light felt like we were in the dungeon. The outside area was dirty and a mess if they cleared and cleaned the area it would be nice to sit out there and have a cuppa.
Otherwise everything else was great.
I have walked past Gordon House apartments several times and found it a fascinating heritage property. I have always wanted to stay there. I was not disappointed. It has a calm, relaxing and charming feel to it. Although I was a bit worried about the digital check-in experience, Courteney met me at the Cafe and assisted me to my room with courtesy and enthusiasm. I was given a complimentary room upgrade, which was very appreciated, and there were complimentary drinks in the fridge. The apartment was beautifully and tastefully furnished and reflected the period style of the hotel. It was comfortable and well-equipped with modern appliances. I felt safe and secure within the apartment hotel. The overall ambience was one of peacefulness and a calm oasis in the middle of the city. I loved the pool and pool area which was very tranquil and clean. Staying here was a lovely experience which I would happily repeat!
Great location, didn’t love being in the basement as no natural daylight, clean

The room was spotless, beautiful setting and so accessible. Only downside is that a beautiful old building can be difficult to navigate.

The staff were lovely. The room was adequate size. The place needs updating, but it was relatively clean.
Good location, sometimes a bit loud but most people were respectful of 10pm curfew. No windows or natural light. The lift doesn't go to the basement. Overall I would give a 7.5 rating.
Laundry facilities are scary and no iron. It was freezing but they gave me an extra heater which really helped. The cafe was very handy with great food.

While the location was great and overall we enjoyed our stay and it was great value, there are several things that need to be improved. There were no staff available and no map provided to our room, so we spent ages going around 3 floors of 2 different complexes to find out room. We also couldn't ask anyone if it was ok to leave our suitcase anywhere on the Sunday for a few hours. While the electronic key is convenient for "after hours" (6pm on a Friday) check in, it is inconvenient as I was constantly stressed that my phone would die and we would have no way of getting in. The toilet seat was not attached and the hot water took ages to kick in. The apartment was also tiny, the pictures are certainly not of the studio we got.

My apartment was really grim.
I arrived to find that other than putting out fresh bedding and towels the place had not been cleaned. The floor and worn carpet were covered in debris and tiny silver stars (someone must have had a party there before leaving), the shower had hairs in it, the microwave was disgusting, and surfaces were unwiped. I complained via email and housekeeping did a cursory clean the next day, but clearly nothing had been moved as there were still silver stars and debris on the floor.
This place is in dire need of a deep clean and looks nothing like the photos on the website. I could not face using the kitchen and was out of the apartment as much as possible.
The swimming pool looks amazing in the photos on Expedia. In truth it was dirty and unused.
As an added bonus there is little to no soundproofing and noise can be heard throughout the night - waste trucks, noise from restaurants and bars, drilling…. We had to buy earplugs on our second day.
Finally check-in was really hard. I received no email as you are meant to 24 hours prior to arrival. Apparently despite never having had issues before my email address was not passed to them by Expedia. Reception were very helpful when I emailed them, but surely even the act of arriving at your hotel should not cause stress?
I have written to the manager at the hotel and sent photographs of the state of the apartment, but have received no reply.

This is a very attractive property. Well maintained with all you need for a short stay
This is a great place in a really nice location. Not for everyone - it's an old building and the rooms are bespoke - it hasn't had the complete makeover that you see in most apartments, and it's rough on the edges, but is functional and funky. Seemed to have a lot of younger people staying.
Big gripe though ... the check in and access is a f-ing nightmare! I don't know if they forgot to send me an email with instructions, but when you don't have reception you should at least answer your phone. Especially when I'm receiving texts asking me to call!! Called many times and not once did i get an answer. Online check-in form asks too many irrelevant questions and didn't want to accept my bank details even though the room was paid for in advance. After half a dozen attempts I gave up, and never heard anything about it again. The app required to access apartments seemed simple enough, but wasn't. Online video explainer showed entry through a door that you could not use, and the only access, through the Cafe, was more than weird, especially at night, in the dark!
Thanks only to Cafe staff, I was eventually able to work it out and gain access.
Do everyone a favour and answer your phone!!!!
