We are flexible in respect of dates for moving in and moving out. Licence fees are calculated by reference to set dates - but you may move in after these dates, and move out before them.
We will do our best to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Sometimes people wish to move to different rooms during their stay - for example, if their friend is living in a different part of the building, and they wish to share a kitchen and living area.
We can’t always facilitate moves like this - but will do our best to do so. If you’re in the process of booking - just let us know your preference, and we’ll do our best to make the arrangements. If you’re already resident in the building, just drop by the reception and enquire.
Sometimes, by specific arrangement, we can facilitate people moving in earlier. It isn’t always possible though. Please email us and we’ll do our best to help.
Sometimes, by special arrangement, we can facilitate people in staying longer. It isn’t always possible though. Please email us and we’ll do our best to help.
Friends and Family can stay with you for up to 2 nights free of charge. Any stay of longer periods than 2 nights is subject to charge and management approval. Any additional guests in the building must be notified in advance with management.
