Ashburn Court Apartments, London
I am going to put down random thoughts / comments as they spring up:
- check in was smooth, greeted by a friendly male staff
- It is at a convenient location to public transport --- less than 5 mins walk to Gloucester Road tube station, bus #49 direct to White City where the big mall “Westfield “is
- a rather spacious room albeit not impressive, more like a well-used shared dorm
- their website says they have a lift but this lift is a problem because it is not accessible to each and every floor but at alternate floors, so if your room is in between where the lift door opens, then you will need to haul the suitcases either up or down the narrow flight of stairs, which could be strenuous and inconvenient, especially for people with leg problems or mobility problems. This lift is also super small and only fits at most one person with two suitcases
- We were assigned room 103 so either we got out on 2/F and walked down or out on 1/F and walked up --- that is the concept of their so-called ‘ lift ‘
- room was clean and neat at first glance but as we stayed longer (for 8 nights) we slowly noticed the ‘not-so-clean’ areas scattered esp. if we looked closely
- housekeeping confined to thrice a week including changing bedding towels, and clearing bins
- there is this big tall silver commercial use refuse bin in the corner, fairly close to the bed; such a layout immediately & totally tells you this is
