My husband and I stayed at 9A Unthank road with some trepidation giving the diversity of reviews.

Positives:
Appeared to be newly renovated
Odour free
Spacious apartment
Close to Norwich city and amenities
Very comfortable bed, slept like a log!
Two extra pillows in the cupboard (no pillow cases for them alas)
Kitchen and cooking utensils, pots and pans etc
Reasonable price (even cheaper than the local University accommodation oddly enough)

Negatives
Weird half step separating lounge and kitchen, tripped on it twice!
Constant beeping noise in the hall of the building which we could not determine how to turn off
Bathroom had not been cleaned, talcum powder on the floor
Massive clot of hair clogging the shower drain
Shower had only two temperatures: boiling hot (I scalded myself) and freezing cold
No tea towel or pot holder in kitchen
No microwave as specified on the website
Wifi didn't work
Television reception was very snowy with only four channels
The kitchen had dinner service for four yet there were only three chairs in the apartment.

This is what I wrote to MJB about Beeches apartments - i have been reimbursed but with no extra:

I am writing to you to in disgust at your treatment of my wife and I when we booked a week at 9E Unthank Road. We arrived at 5-30pm today expecting to find the set of rooms described by Laterooms.com website as having quality accomodation with a fully equipped kitchen. We were met with a scene of complete awfulness, a disgraceful hovel. This included:

A dank basement room with damp walls covered in mould (my wife is asthmatic and within fifteen minutes was wheezing)
Dirty windows that had not been cleaned for many weeks
Hairs in the washbasin
Cobwebs in ceiling corners
Badly washed cups
Unwashed sheets with yellow (urine?) stains
Old grey towels (should be white)
Cracking walls with staining
No washing machine or dishwasher
Empty drink bottels in dirty cupboard
General bad state of repair and maintenance

We complained to both MJB customer care staff but received no help. The owner of the rooms apparently refused to offer better accomodation. I asked to be reimbursed but have heard nothing. I am including photographs as evidence of the complaints above.

I expect immediate recompense. We had to find accommodation for ourselves at The Georgian Hotel after searching everywhere for self-catering rooms. It is costing us 120 pounds a night as opposed to the 85 we paid for 9E's misleading photographs and description. We booked these room early because we didn't want to stay in a hotel. Our visit was to see a new born granddaughter and receive and entertain family members which we cannot now do.

If you do not act immediately I will put the whole case in the hands of our solicitor and seek compensation as well as reimbursement.

We also intend to do publish these photographs and expose your disgusting business practices.

Stayed at Upper Apartment, Langham Hall, run by MJB Hotels. Despite saying dogs welcome and no extra charge mentioned when booking, I received an email the next day saying £36 had been taken from my card for 1 night because a dog stayed!
I have been emailing now for 4 weeks with no response. Disgusting customer service.
Now trying to get money back via my bank. DO NOT STAY HERE - YOU COULD BE RIPPED OFF TOO.

We stayed in flat 9e for 2 nights from 15.-17.7.11 and paid 55 pounds per night. Thankfully, the sewage smell mentioned in the previous review was gone , however this didn't mean the flat was habitable.
On arrival, I had to send my husband round the rooms to remove thick cobwebs ( in very easy to clean places such as lamps and behind doors) and some spiders. The paint was peeling off the depressingly decorated rooms and the bannister on top of the stairs leading to the dungeon like living room was dangerously loose. When you go down the stairs there is no bannister at all , making it very difficult to get downstairs I don't think this flat would pass a health and safety inspection. The owners obviously don't care if their guests hurt themselves. The TV has only 5 basic channels and the remote doesn't always work. There is no microwave in the kitchen.
Surprisingly, the mattress in the double bed was comfortable, but we still couldn't sleep, as we started itching like mad as soon as we got into the bed on both nights.
I booked this flat as it looked ok on the website and I prefer self-catering to hotels, but I would never return.It is the worst place I have ever stayed in.
