Humber Lofts Apartments

Nice enough hotel, please be aware that the contact number you are given for help throughout your stay will not be answered out of office hours. Smart tv apps won't work due to some internal internet settings. Oven was dirty and door handle on bathroom hanging off meant couldn't close bathroom door. Not great from what is meant to be a luxury service

We were in Apartment 8 at Humber Loft Apartments. The location is perfect but unfortunately it’s the only positive of our one night stay. The condition of the apartment is below par to say the least. All of the walls are scuffed or stained to varying degrees, both inside the apartment and in the hallway / staircase areas. Wear and tear is to be expected, but not to this extent. It wouldn’t take much to address this and make the apartment look more appealing. This makes it feel rundown and points to a lack of care. The sofa is incredibly uncomfortable, rock solid and not ideal for relaxing and watching the TV. The TV is at floor level which they say is shown on their pictures, but the positioning is baffling. We have never seen anything like it. The living room and kitchen area has all the hallmarks of a student halls with how basic it is. The chairs provided were stained and covered in crumbs. We had towels provided, one of which was stained. The bed was good sized but uncomfortable, with a lumpy quilt cover and one pillow each. The bathroom is tiny but adequate, although we had a significant issue with the toilet not flushing properly. We noticed this before going out at night, therefore the situation didn’t favour us escalating this problem because we had plans. Upon returning late evening, the toilet wouldn’t empty. Attempts to flush resulted in contents rising to the top of the bowl and unable to fully clear by the time of departure. We weren’t going to attempt to fix this problem ourselves or clean the toilet (impossible under the circumstances) as the owners later suggested we should have done. Our bigger problems began after check-out where we had left our feedback through the internal email the owners sent. We were accused of having a lack of respect for the apartment due to how we ‘left the toilet’, given it wouldn’t flush properly and we have attempted to clear it god knows how many times in the morning. We were accused of breaking a bowl, the evidence they sent shows a bowl that was chipped. However, we used no cutlery or crockery during our one night stay. We had no need to use anything because we had plans in the city for food and drinks. This accusation was out of order, either it hasn’t been picked up before we stayed or there’s an element of foul play involved. We were told that leaving the windows open, that are on security latches which open a few centimetres, was against the terms and conditions. Despite the very same windows being open when we arrived in the apartment and the room being red hot in the morning. Therefore we wanted to let air in and leave the apartment how we entered it. We were also accused of leaving the lights on upon departure, another accusation that is untrue and also completely unnecessary because it was well lit by the natural light in the morning. Despite trying to discuss over email and provide feedback, the recipient on behalf of Humber Loft Apartments was abrasive and lacking any ounce

Bad: The towels provided were pretty small. Quite a few marks and scuffs around on walls and furniture. Unclear where to collect door card from, went from the car park to the room, back down to 'reception' and back to the room. Quite a few messages back and forth before check in and forms to complete. No information about when you can enter and leave the car park. Had a few problems with the website and entering information and making payments. Was just an added stress when attending for a funeral unfortunately. Would have been nice to have some fresh milk and more coffee. (But then again I do have a 2 month old!) Didn't have access to use the online key card until 3pm unfortunately, so had to get the cards. Coasters would be great, as the coffee table is glass and I was worried about putting down mugs and glasses. The room was lovely and a great size. Lovely little touches made it a comfortable stay. Large mirrors, plenty or storage, dining table and kitchen. Very large and comfortable bed. Blackout curtains were amazing! Lovely to have netflix etc on the TV. Easy to order deliveroo too!
