It’s a great stay for families, everything is clean and spacious. However there’s some stairs leading to the apartments which may pose some issues to individuals with luggages and would have been better if there was air conditioning

Good experience

Room was clean and everything was in order. Receptionists were friendly esp Anna. Surrounding had lots of construction and seagulls which contributed to noisy surroundings if you were in your room all day, but it was not unbearable. Esp loved that there was a fan in the toilet to remove moisture and the glass separation for the shower. It was still quite cold in the room if you're sitting all day but thats subjective as I came from a tropical country.

Fab apartments

Great find! Renovations meant a longer walk through to the apartments but really wasnt an issue for us. Apartment was spotless and the facilities were great. The only real downside was there are no sockets near the mirror so getting ready was a little tricky as i didnt have a mirror with me so had to use my phone camera to see as i was doing my hair. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the location was great for us!

Seek elsewhere

The property is part of student accommodation undergoing renovations, as such the entrance is “temporary”, VERY studenty (for those students of 90s and 00s) and complex to find the 3rd floor. If first impressions count, this place isn’t for you. We were a family of 4, staying for 2 nights and chose the superior duplex style apartment, however there was very little space for clothing/luggage. For any longer stays, you might need to look elsewhere. If you’re facing the road, it’s LOUD. The windows are double glazed only (fine for home, but city centre main road and buses just below eye level..not so much) The apartment had all amenities required, but we’re starting to show wear, for example the shower head wouldn’t stay up and required to be held whilst showering. Door handles partly broken, and stains on the walls from greasy scalps due to lack of bedheads etc.. Would we stay again?….probably not. We paid almost £500 for two nights in early January, but for a little more we could have the assurance of a proper hotel.

The main entrance door was under repair. We had to go around the building to get to our room. But everything else was perfect.

Unique --relationship to the university. Nothing I really disliked, though the layout of the apartment and in particular the stairs from entry to bed was a bit challenging to navigate with my suitcase.

Abbiamo trovato una struttura nella media, per i motivi che vi elenco. Siamo stati accolti da receptionist preparate e cordiali. L'hotel si trova in una zona comoda, dove sono presenti supermercati, ristoranti e fermate del bus. Peccato che non c'era segnalato da nessuna parte che l'hotel è in fase di ristrutturazione e che quindi l'ingresso era spostato, facendoti passare attraverso il cantiere e poi dall'alloggio degli universitari. La camera era come da foto e descrizioni. L'abbiamo trovata pulita e in ordine. Il problema dell'alloggio che ci è stato dato era l'isolamento acustico. Sentivo i vicini, ma sopratutto durante la notte c'erano rumori e forti vibrazioni dai locali sottostanti.

Bon séjour global

Notre séjour à KM apartments s’est globalement bien déroulé. Le personnel est attentif et convivial. Toutefois, nous avons été déçus de l’appartement… Notre logement ne se trouvait pas dans le battement principal mais dans une annexe, à côté de logement étudiants. Le couloir (réservé aux logement de KM) était très bruyant à toute heure de la journée. Les murs sont fins et nous entendions les mouvements de nos voisins (chaise qui bouge, tape sur le mur etc.). La literie était confortable, mais le lit bien trop petit malheureusement La cuisine est très bien équipée et moderne, mais la proximité avec la chambre n’était pas des plus agréables

Under renovation

There was a fan outside the room that was very noisy. There was a chemical smell in the building, maybe paint or such. The renovation works meant that going into and out of the property was a labyrinth.

Stayed a few times now and it’s always the same issue I find is the noise. Not just normal noise but every floorboard in the flat creaked and cracked so loudly I was worried I’d be the annoying one to other people.
