You will receive an email prior to arrival requesting you to complete our online check-in. Here you will be able to update/confirm the contact telephone number that we will use to create your entry code. The apartments are operated without keys; your entry code provides access to the main building, luggage store and your reserved apartment.

Your apartment number will be confirmed by separate email on your arrival date before 12pm.

Your entry code will be the last 4 digits of your contact telephone number.

Check-in to your apartment is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am.

The entry code is valid to the main building from 6am on your arrival date and to your individual apartment from 3pm unless otherwise arranged. The access code expires on your departure date at 11am for the apartment only but will allow access to the main door and luggage store, until midnight.

On arrival at the property, use the bottom keypad at the main door to input your 4-digit code. The next security door is on a timer which will lock if you do not go straight through. If this locks before you can access, exit to the main door and input your code again.

Please follow the internal signage for directions to your apartment. All apartments are accessed by stairs only and there is no lift in this building.

Your individual apartment number will be confirmed by email on your arrival date before 12pm. The room is accessed using your 4-digit code at the apartment keypad. The keypad will show a green light when the code is accepted, and the door can be pushed open.

Early check-in and late check-outs can be organised in advance of your stay, subject to availability and additional costs. If you require the sofa bed to be made up for your arrival, please message us prior to arrival.

CCTV surveillance is monitored in all public spaces of the building to ensure guest safety.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in each apartment, access details below.
