Warwick St Studios

The location was great but I was extremely disappointed in the size of the room. The room I got was miniscule compared to some of the other rooms I had seen in the pictures- especially when you consider how much I was paying. Also there is no physical customer help desk at the property, we needed to message the person via SMS and response times were often very slow.

Negatives - Very steep stairs to access the studios. Supposed to have a view - it was a car park. Doors are banging thoughout the night. Walls are extremely thin and you can hear what is being said in the room next door. Could hear both next door neighbours and upstairs neighbours speaking clearly. Upstairs neighbours walking around very noisy due to laminate flooring - you could even hear drawers being opened and closed. Woken at 4am by upstairs neighbours having sex - no carpets so sound carried. No TV - this is usually a basic. Lighting not very bright in room and bathroom so difficult for doing makeup, etc... Large gap at the bottom of the room door (1.5 inches) which lit up the room when dark - had to put a blanket against the door as the light outside of the room kept flicking on and off. Some mould in shower - sealant needs replacing. No shower/bath mat so very slippy when getting out of the shower due to laminate flooring. No plug in kitchen sink for washing up. Room overlooked by flats behind - lack of privacy. Extractor fan switch is above the bathroom door so has to be manually switched on and off - not ideal when you're 5ft. Positives - Clean spacious room overall. Clean towels. No external road noise if at back of building. Basic facilities including microwave, 2 hobs, kettle and toaster. Tea and coffee provided. Dishwashing liquid and handwash provided. Lots of plug sockets. Comfy bed and pillow. Blackout blind. Shampoo, bodywash and conditioner provided (not used as I brought my own).

Warwick Street Studios cancelled our booking on the day we were due to arrive due to a water leak. Since then, we have been trying to get a refund as we had paid in full with no success. They just ignore any message sent and think they are entitled to keep the booking funds without supplying the apartment. Strongly advise you do not use them even if they quote a cheap price
