Guests say
Hillside Apartment is praised for its central location and welcome pack, though some guests report issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The garden is appreciated when well-kept, and the proximity to shops and the town centre is a plus. However, guests have suggested improvements in several areas.
Several reviews mention a lack of cleanliness, including grubbiness, a damp smell, and cobwebs. Guests have expressed the need for a deep clean and better upkeep.
The apartment's location is frequently commended for being central, quiet, and close to shops and the town centre, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.
Comfort has been a concern for some guests, citing worn towels and linens, uncomfortable seating, and a lack of pillows. A mirror outside the bathroom and better bedroom amenities could enhance comfort.
Facilities have been criticised for maintenance issues, such as a leaking shower and lack of cleaning supplies. The presence of a welcome pack is noted, but the lack of cooking utensils and unclear waste collection information are drawbacks.
While guests appreciate the welcome pack, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of such gestures or other thoughtful touches throughout the property. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

Nice welcome pack. Well equipped but an iron and and a hairdryer would be great to add. Fantastic well maintained patio and a garden. Few downsides. As apart of a bigger property we had the ground floor and further two floors were occupied by other people. You could hear every noise especially the little boy running up and down from 7:30 every morning. Not ideal if you come to catch up with a sleep. The parking space on the back where our entrance was I thought was just for us, but our neighbours had two cars so they parked one on the front and the other in our space. That was causing problem getting to and from the car as the space wasn't quite big enough for two cars. Confusion with the waste collection. The rubbish has been cancelled every three weeks. We didn't know if that was the right week. The bin was full. We took it down the hill to the main road (quite a journey) just to find out that the general wast was collected last week, so we had to bring the full bin back. Visitors should be given the exact dates when the collection is actually happening. Overall our dogs and we had a lovely time.

Be prepared to take cleaning clothes,loo roll,washing up liquid and mop as the owners don't provide them. The hoover wasn't emptied and the steam cleaner and type of long handle duster thing was dirty and disgusting so had to go out and buy cleaning items.No surfaces in living room,bedroom have been dusted in weeks in fact this place wants a deep clean especially in corners of rooms where dirt and debris collected. In the bedroom there was a disgusting damp stained dog bed which needs to go in bin. Cobwebs with spiders in all rooms and very musky damp smell about the place. A lovely welcome pack of wine,cheese, butter,bread and milk was left but I think that money would have been better spent on starter pack of 1 loo roll as there was none, cleaning clothes and wash liquid. There isn't even a frying pan or oven trays to cook anything on. There was a roasting tray so we did everything on that. This apartment is situated in a lovely place and great for town and beach and accessible to great North wales days out. Also why is the apartment above have its doorbell connected to this apartment....very annoying and loud. We spent 3 days speaking and emailing photos to sykes who did absolutely nothing except contact owners who offered a reclean which I refused as we didn't want anyone in there with all our possessions and this should be clean b4 we got there. Owners said no compensation which we never asked for anyway. We won't be back. Very disappointed with lack of care from owners and sykes.

The property had a damp smell and was grubby. The shower head leaks over the top of the shower cubicle. Cobwebs with spiders in the bedroom and lounge. Garden was unkempt and the patio area and furniture was filthy!! There was no visible information about anything. A mirror in the bedroom would be useful. Having said all of that we enjoyed our break, visiting some lovely places.
