레일웨이 하우스

Large flat, ideal for a few night stay.

I do not believe the people who manage this place understand what the concept of a serviced apartment is. I understand this is probably one of the cheapest places to stay in Darlington, but I didn't expect for nobody to take the trash out in the 4 days I stayed there given that I was not provided with a bag for the bin in the kitchen. I have tried cooking, but for that I had to wash and clean the cutlery, some of which was greasy, including the chopping board. The first night I got there the apartment was freezing cold. The lightbulb in the main bedroom was burnt so I had to change it myself. It smelled like mould, so it's clearly not in a good condition. I'm unsure if I was just unlucky with the apartment I booked and perhaps other apartments are better. The tiles in the bathroom are dirty especially and so are the areas around the toilets. On a positive note, it was well equipped with most of the basics and I was able to cook something. In the end I had to turn the heating on myself by using the boiler. Perhaps the best way to describe this place is "self-serviced apartment". And if cheap and dirty is what it's what you're looking for to spend £75/night, then you found the perfect place.

It's a good flat with everything you could need. It's not luxury by any means, but it does fulfil requirements and is clean/tidy. Parking is unrestricted and is on the street, so it can seem a bit scary in traffic, as it's a one way road system and cars are zooming past (tuck wing mirrors in). Shopping is only moment away by car, such as Morrisons. The host is a great guy who is super friendly and helpful. I enjoyed staying here and would be happy to stay again.

Overall i was satisfied.

Pleasantly furnished and comfortable rooms. A very well presented apartment. Access is unique but works well. Stayed for two nights. Excellent location near town centre and local facilities.
