“I stayed at Discovery Dock West for nearly 3 months and the stay was wonderful. Special thanks to Portland Brown for making sure my stay was very comfortable. The cleaning services need special mention and the cleaning was perfect every single time. I never had a complaint about anything, Even when small things in the apartment needed fixing, service was always prompt and the issue was fixed in a very short time span. Your service made my stay in London very comfortable. Keep up the good work!”

“Dear Team, Flat was very beautiful and well maintained. Very good variety of appliances and kitchen ware. In the first three weeks of my stay, a couple of minor maintence issues were swiftly resolved. Welcome pack and notes when flat was serviced added a nice touch. Check out process was also easy as I could leave the keys in the post box. However, in the following three weeks, service level significantly diminished. Although in our correspondence staff were polite and approachable, the were not resolving issues. For example: - one of the 2 heating rails in the bathroom was not working, your colleague came when I was at work and then emailed me he could not fix it as I had turned off the switch and he couldn't tell which was defective. Surely if he had turned both back on for 3 minutes he could tell the defective. Also it was the cleaning person who had come the same day and had turned switches off. In any case, he never came back to me after that so issue was never resolved - on the third week, new towels had a strong unpleasant scent of moisture after being in touch with water (eg using them after showering) and I had to wash them all. Raised the issue and the following week towels were fine. Problem though reappeared on the last two weeks, I did not have the time or energy to raise a request again - the fourth or fifth time the flat was serviced, I returned home and the internet was switched off, a lightbulb in a lamp was loose and not working and my bed had been moved towards the middle of the room. I fixed it all, but somebody else might not have and it felt strange - i had a late check out arranged. However an hour before my agreed hour of departure two of your colleagues came in the flat to see how the flat should be reorganised for the new tenant. They were polite and fortunately I had packed and all was ready ahead of time, but ocassionally people moving out are in a state of a rush the last minute and having two strangers in the room is not helping. Particularly unpleasant if you have small children that are more likely than not to be in need of attention. Apologies for the long response, but I do feel that you have put good effort to organise your processes and it is worth investing a bit more in your team (who all come across as pleasant and approachable) to make the experience truly great. Overall, I would recommend Portland Brown flats to friends, but would explicitly tell them that they need to be patient and spend a bit of extra time on emails if they want things resolved. Yours faithfully, Pericles Agiovlasitis”

Hi Mayule My name is Ben and I'm one of the Senior Managers at Portland. I wanted to write to personally apologise for the issues you had during your stay. I believe we managed to fix the internet by putting in a more stable router and the light in the bedroom by installing black-out blinds. I'm sorry that we didn't manage to rectify the oven issue, this seems to be due to the fact that it was more complex than we initially thought but this shouldn't have impacted your stay. Thank you for your feedback and for the positive rating despite your experience. If you would like to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on Ben.Atkins@portlandbrown.com . I hope we're able to welcome you back to Portland again in the future. Kind regards Ben, Senior Operations Manager

“The stay was great in General. Otherwise, we had issues with the Internet connection for almost the whole time of our stayed which was very annoying. I can suggest to talk to the cleaning company, the floor was never properly clean, the carpet was always disgusting.”

Hi Luis, Thank you for taking the time to complete our survey. I was glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay despite the internet issues.

“I recently stayed at a Portland Brown property near the Barbican for 3 months during a work related stay in London. The flat was very clean on arrival and kept as such throughout our stay with weekly cleans by friendly cleaners. The property is very secure with a manned reception desk during the day. Well furnished and well equipped, the flat was perfect for our needs and very comfortable”
