Pros:

Very clean and quiet location 10 minutes from the Abbey station and Verulamium Park. Room 4 has a huge separate bathroom across the hall. Good local fast food options and a large Sainsbury's a few streets away. Would definitely stay here again

convenient, cheap and Ok with a nice ensuite bathroom
Pros:

cheap accommodation used simply as somewhere to sleep and get showered. Easy 20 minutes walk into town in the evening and a convenience store next door. Bathroom looked all but new, spacious and nice large shower

Cons:

The bed was OK but the pillows were very cheap. The curtains were 2 different types, old, faded and different lengths. There was a car park opposite the bedroom window and there was a flood light shining directly into the bedroom all night

Deja mucho que desear la atención al cliente
Pros:

Estaba muy cerca del autobús, aunque solo hay autobús de lunes a viernes.
Buen precio.

Cons:

La cama no era cómoda el colchón muy regular, y además solo se podía acceder a la cama por un lado. La ventana da a un parking y toda la noche encendido un foco impresionante, la cortina no queda pegada a la ventana y entraba luz por todas partes.Toda la noche sonando un compresor que hacía muchísimo ruido.
Antes de mi llegada intenté ponerme en contacto con el alojamiento, les escribí 3 mensajes y no me contestaron, tuve que llamar en más de 5 ocasiones para que me contestaran al teléfono, hasta la misma mañana no me explicaron como se entraba en el apartamento, me dieron las claves de la habitación 3, recogimos la llave en la casilla 3, pero la llave no abría la habitación 3, salió la persona que estaba allí alojada y nos dijo que nuestra habitación era la 2, si esa persona no hubiera estado dentro de su habitación nos hubiéramos quedado tirados en la calle, ya que no contestan ni a los mensajes ni al teléfono, si me asignan la habitación 3 y la llave está en la casilla 3 no se me ocurre ir probando las llaves en todas las habitaciones.

Pros:

Recently refurbished and clean

Cons:

Poor location, difficult to find, just a front door at the end of parade of shops. Door code needed which booking dotcom didn't advise. Had to contact Owner for help. Also key box lock code needed for bedroom also not provided by bookingdotcom. This key box was not numbered so we had to guess which one it was, and very difficult to undo, had to ask member of public and local shop keeper to help. These key boxes should be placed in the hall lobby, if it was dark and raining I don't think we would have got in. We were advised there was no breakfast, but I think it would have been thoughtful to have supplied a few tea bags/coffee,UHT milk etc. Owner has since advised that the key boxes will be moved inside to the hall lobby. Brilliant.

Average
Pros:

Liked the size of the room

Cons:

Was okay standard of clean but bits needed extra care , the shower tray was dirty before we got there , dusty.

The bedside lamp was broken and just on the floor which wasn't of any use . The floor boards were super creaky which became annoying.
