I've been living in The Heart for 5 years, and the best part about this place is how sparkling clean it always is. Esmeralda, our cleaner, does an incredible job keeping the reception and communal areas spotless, just like a top hotel. Plus, she's such a lovely person to chat with!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding efforts of our cleaning lady, Ms. Esmeralda, in our building, The Heart, located in Media City. She is extremely hardworking, conscientious, and meticulous. Always with a smile and without rest, she diligently cleans and maintains the premises. Her work has a positive impact on our living environment, and I hope that this acknowledgment encourages her and contributes to her career advancement.

Esmeralda is the only positive thing I have to talk about with this building. The cleaner is lovely and friendly/helpful and makes the corridors smell nice and clean!. However, with the building itself, I can’t understand why there are so many 4/5 star reviews. I Lived here for a year and never again. The constant failures of the building impacting residents constantly is unacceptable. From no hot water for days with no pre warning, this happened multiple times throughout my time here, GREEN tap water coming out of all the taps, leaky sinks, fire alarms going off randomly all the time, at least one day a week which are painful to hear and quite scary as we’re unsure whether it’s. A real safety concern or not all the time, Constant pipe leaks and elevators being broken in a 25 story apartment building is just totally unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to live here unless you like living in an old, rundown hotel that clearly is past it’s sell by date :)A.k.a it’s no longer a hotel, it’s an apartment building.

How can this be on GoogleGo as a 4-star hotel when it's just a dependenza of the Holiday Inn 50 yards away? It isn't even a 2-star because it hasn't got any hotel facilities, nor bar or even a breakfast room.

First impressions count, when I was looking for accommodation in The Heart, one of the things that immediately attracted me to the building was the cleanliness. There is a very friendly lady who works there who helps keep this to a very high standard, her name is Esmeralda, she is a credit to The Heart.

Great stay, check in was fast and the room was good. Is was a little hot and couldn't find the thermostat so kept door to the balcony open. Everything is available, washing machine, stove, oven etc. Etc. Bed was a little soft and could feel the springs but slept OK. Bought a breakfast voucher of 12 pound for holiday Inn.

Stayed here about one year ago. Had to wait a considerable amount of time before the receptionist arrived to check us in.The deposit had to be paid with credit only, and reception actually turned down the full payment in cash. Despite checking out early, I still had to book a shorter stay due to the lack of room on my card. None of this, to my knowledge, was mentioned anywhere at the time I was making a reservation.The sleeping/living was clean, but the kitchenette, though stocked with many utensils, wasn't cleaned as well as I would have liked. Bits of food were still on the forks and knives, which for a vegetarian, is very concerning. However, I mentioned it to the front desk, and they had it all replaced promptly.The bathroom had a few issues; the laminate on the medicine cabinet was chipped at & partially peeled off, and the the shower was difficult to figure out. The knobs weren't very responsive to being turned, and it was either scalding hot or ice cold. To avoid this, just ask the staff how the shower works before you settle in.The beds were very comfortable, and laying on it was a lot better than sitting on the couch. The TV was small and a bit dated, but thankfully, the Wi-Fi was excellent in my room.The only outstanding reason I wouldn't want to come back is the deposit issue. Because I had no choice but to pay with a credit card, all the minor things seemed bigger, and became harder to ignore, with that main inconvenience looming over my entire stay. If that gets fixed, I'd easily bump my review up a star, because it's a very simple fix to make a guest feel welcome, and not met with unexpected problems the moment they walk in.
