Access Arrangements
A "meet and greet" service is operated , whereby you will be met at a property at a pre-arranged time to give access. Full instructions of this procedure can be found in the secure guest area after a booking has been completed. It is very important that an approximate arrival time is provided before arrival for this process. Entry is from 14:00 onwards but if nobody has booked to depart on your day of arrival it will probably be very suitable for us to give you entry as early as possible. Departure is by 10am (a guaranteed late departure up to 20:00 can be obtained for 50% of that daily rate. Please contact us if you want to utilise this facility and a price will be calculated).
Please note that arrivals after 19:00 will incur a range of late arrival fee.
**LATE ARRIVAL: fees, 19:00 - 22:30 - 15 pounds, 22:31 - 00:00 - 30 pounds and 00:01 - 02:00 - 50 pounds. The latest access can be given is 02:00, otherwise it is given at 08:00 the next day. ESC accept no liability for any costs involved in alternative accommodation for this 6 hour period.
A deposit of 25% is payable on booking and the outstanding balance of the rental price must be received 2 months prior to your arrival date. For bookings made less than eight weeks before your arrival date the whole rental price falls payable at the time of booking. Please note that a separate 200 pounds refundable key/security deposit must be provided prior to arrival which is rescinded 2 days after departure.
The apartment has one kingsize double in one bedroom and a superking zip'n'link in the other that can be split into twins.

Response from the manager It is very regretful that this guest felt that the slight confusion at the start of your booking was completely detrimental to their stay at the Bank St property. Due to the nature of your late arrival the usual person who meets guest to provide access was not available and the lady who replaced this person had forgot to collect the keys, it was this that caused the 40 minute delay. The lady did apologise when she arrived but the guest was very angry by this stage. I am very sorry about that experience. She also just followed the instruction that arrival s after 19:00 incur a 15 pound late arrival fee and did not have the authority to waive it, however it is disappointing that the guest has not mentioned that this fee was eventually returned to them . Again I am sorry for the inconvenience this delay caused. The property is on the third floor and is clearly marked on the property ESC website description page in the overview section. There is no mention of lift in the description page which would indicate there is not one. We received communication from the guest that when they departed they had simply posted the keys through the letter box. It was therefore reasonable to expect to find the keys on the floor as soon as the door was opened by the ESC representative, as they were not, a message was sent asking where they where? As this guest has described a few minutes later during the inspection the keys were actually found elsewhere in the property and a message was sent stating this. I dont think this action can be deemed unreasonable or inconvenient when we had been provided with the wrong information. Unfortunately I do feel the initial confusion and delay at the start of this persons booking set their mind and from there it was a only going to be a negative experience at Bank St, unlike most of the previous guests who have had a positive one, which is what ESC always strives for.
