(DONT TRUST 5/5 REVIEW MOST LIKELY MANAGEMENT)...If I could give ZERO stars I would. Please avoid this place! The staff are horrid, COMPLETE lack of compassion and understanding, they harass you, knock at your door early in the morning, its also cheap. The booking pictures were very misleading. Also, the stovetop in my room did not work property which was completely hazardous. No maintenance past 5pm and one of the receptionists said he would have someone check on it the next day and it never happened. There are other short terms lets to stay in the city centre, do your research and stay there. AVOID KIMBERLEY HOUSE

Thirst experience! Rooms look nothing as advertised, the staff harass you and aren’t accommodating. If anything is broken in the room there’s no 24/7 maintenance . Don’t waste your time and listen to the negative reviews

I stayed at Kimberley House and was extremely impressed that for the price we got a washing machine, a fridge, microwave , complete set of utensils and cooking equipment and even steak knives and scissors! The staff were really welcoming and I love the apartment and the privacy. Food was also ordered from justeat and they buzzed the flat number and brought all the way in to the apartment! The beds were clean and cosy. The telly had Internet and Netflix. There was even a handy oscillating fan. Honestly, for the price it was amazing. The location was also super handy as Nandos etc and all the shopping is literally across the road. Couldn't expect any more from a city stay, thanks guys! Will stay again!Eleanor

Stayed there for one night. Staff at front desk were nice. Apart from that everything else was below average. Whole place smelt really bad and was run down. Our room smelt of cigarette smoke. We had 3 in the room so had to use the sofa bed. No pillow or bed linen were provided for the bed. Bathroom was small, water pressure was poor and it was very dirty. Would not stay here again.
