There was 2 towels for us each, shampoo and shower gel was also provided. No toothpaste though. Kitchen has all the crockery you need, no frying pan though but has 2 saucepans. Nice cosy blanket also available in the wardrobe. They also provided some dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and clothes washing tabs. If you park at St James, you can obtain discount for the parking from the hotel's office which is a short walk from the hotel. Definitely worth it.

So when I got there I couldn’t get in the building.. they decided they wanted a deposit.. that was after I put the pin in to access the building.. we got put in a room next to an elevator which was like a rocket.. and the noise from the trams and public.. you would’ve thought I was sleeping in the street.. not that I got any sleep.

The apartment itself was clean, spacious, well kitted out and in a great central location. However, the bed was small and very uncomfortable and there was a lot of noise late in the evening from businesses nearby emptying bottles into the bins outside, as well as noise from the builders next door early in the morning.
