Pros:
Large apartment
Conveniently situated
Noise not an issue despite being in a busy area
Small stock of items in kitchen to last until able to get to shops

Cons:
Advertised hairdryer - wasn't one
Advertised microwave - wasn't one (unless build into oven)
Advertised plasma TVs - false, TVs were fairly dated
Advertised double bed - false (Queen size)
Reception staff were not overly friendly or helpful, one was rude
Landing carpet needed hoovering throughout our stay
"Luxery towels" were freyed and tatty
Decor generally finished to a poor standard (as in the finer details that would justify 5* rating)
Car park only fits "small cars" according to the staff, "hardly any car would fit in" (quote) so despite advertising a car park, staff tell you not to park there unless you have a very small car

Just had a weekend break at residence 6, stayed in a one bed apartment, the block was centrally located close to the city centre. Car parking was a short walk away and we received a discount (costing less than £18 for the weekend). The bathroom was modern with an oversized shower (we did want a bath in the bedroom but were informed that only 3 of the apartments have the baths in the bedrooms). The bedroom was very spacious with hotel quality linen. It provided a very relaxed and comfortable environment and we would recommend this to friends and family.

Booked a one bed and two bed apartment here in July and had an absolutely fantastic stay. From the initial telephone conversation through to check out I really couldn't find fault. Both apartments had excellent views over the square, one had a balcony too. Both apartments well appointed, good quality furnishings and luxury bathrooms. Bathrooms all equipped with molten brown toiletries. Nice towels, robes and bedding provided too. Really comfortable beds and good black out curtains all communal spaces well kept. Service was really friendly and also helpful. Fridge in kitchen stocked with milk butter jam soft drinks and bread - nice touch. Will definitely stay again and would highly recommend. I found it very hard to find any fault.

Excellent concept and very well executed. Rooms are well decorated, and beds comfortable.

Having been coming here for several years, I think it is now starting to be due a bit of a refurb. A few scuffed walls and dodgy lights in places. Overall, though, still an excellent place to stay, and the kitchens and the generous size of the apartments make it much more practical than a normal hotel if you are staying for any length of time.

I prefer to stay at the front of the building - the view over the square is better, and there is some nighttime engine noise (buses?) at the back.
