No.31 Castle Gate

Shoulda got a Travelodge!! Ok, the positives. We were in Magnus suite which was warm & spacious with a comfortable bed. The kitchen appliances were nice & looked fairly new. The building is very well located for the town and is opposite the Registry Office. But If you are arriving in the pouring rain & dark as we did at 4pm this place is very difficult to find, not sure even the locals know it's there! Black plaques on black doors are not easily read & we walked past it at first. There's no parking, which we were aware of and you are given suggestions where to park, one of which is free overnight. This is a pub and easily missed if you are in a flow of traffic. We eventually found a car park 5 minutes walk away & reasonable for 24 hours. We found we were able to get into the courtyard but not the suite! It's a press button pad and after several attempts we rang the help number, need to press the buttons lightly. Once in, soaked through, all we wanted was a cup of tea, no tea bags, Luckily we had taken 4 tea bags just in case, but could only have the 1 cup. Washed up the mugs, no drying up cloth, and the wash up liquid container was sticky &less than half full. Also a dirty serviette on the table. The bathroom is small there's a heated towel rail but the loo seat was a bit skewiff. The toiletries were well used! In the morning a shower, but shower gel container was empty! The plug thing wouldn't stay down in the sink, we found a pebble stuck in it. Attention needs paying to the cleaning!

Really nice building and on initial glance the room was great. Great size and lots of space with kitchenette too. Location great and parking round the corner was £3 for overnight so can’t complain at that! I’d recommend the apartment overall but there were a couple of reasons that I would mark it down: grout in the bathroom was dirty, a dirty sock in the bed drawer, guests clothing in two drawers which they had left behind.

Can be better It will be nice to have a small dining table and it will be handy if there’s a small cabinet or shelf next to the bath tub A bit noisy too The bunk bed doesn’t feel very stable

No.31 Castle Gate review Everything was as it looked in the pictures, beautifully presented and clean. Parking was a bit of an inconvenience but the location of this apartment was so convenient for the wedding we attended, as well as being super close to all the food spots and tourist attractions. The only complaint we had was that the mattress was just awful, and there was no headboard which affected our sleep/overall stay. My mum also stayed on the floor below at the same time as us also had a terribly uncomfortable mattress. Road/street noise was also very noticeable.

Great self contained space near to everything. Parking isn’t too far to walk and reasonably priced.
