Luxmar Apartments

Holly Lamb

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to survive a night on the set of a 1970s crime drama, look no further than the Luxmar Hotel! From the moment we stepped in, we were hit with the unmistakable aroma of eau de foisty mystery, a delicate blend of damp, disappointment, and something possibly decomposing. The décor is a bold statement, imagine your nan’s living room, if she decorated it during a power cut, using only whatever she found in a skip. The room? A masterpiece of horror design. Cigarette burns artistically scattered across the bedding, as if Banksy had done a residency there. The faint, foisty smell lingered like a bad decision, and the bed bugs clearly thought I was the all-inclusive buffet. The décor is truly immersive, you don’t just see the grime, you feel it (mostly through the bites). Breakfast was available, but after seeing the state of the bedding, I thought fasting might be safer. The door didn’t lock properly, which really added to the excitement, nothing like sleeping with one eye open and a chair wedged under the handle. Overall, Luxmar offers an unforgettable experience. Literally unforgettable, mostly because I’ll be telling my therapist about it for years.

I stayed in Lux Mar. Which was a privately owned bit, I booked with Booking .Com, not realising there were two parts. The apartment had a large kitchen full with appliances, but lacking in plates . The shower was very dangerous and slippery. In a good area.

Was unsure about staying here after reading some reviews. We stay in May for 4 nights. The apartment was basic but was clean and tidy. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We had a 0130 pickup for the airport and sorted the return of our deposit at 2200 before they shut at midnight. We kept the key to room until we left, just told to leave the key in the room. No A/C in the room. It was OK being May, but I wouldn't have coped later in the summer. No safe in the room, but you can rent a deposit box in the reception for €1.50 a day. The pool and bar area is nice. The location is good.

Honestly the worst hotel/apartment building I’ve ever seen. -Extremely rude reception staff (Disgustingly Rude) • No air con, no fans -Bedding and decor is like a Soviet Russian apartment • They expect you to clean your room and you will lose your £50 deposit if not. (No maid service) -First thing they said to our group is we can’t use the pool because it’s for kids?! And if they get single noise complaint our whole group will be kicked out instantly DO NOT STAY HERE! I’m from Birmingham and I’d rather stay in small heath.

You get what you pay for, plenty of people complain about this place but it’s cheap. Decent location, staff helpful enough, rooms very basic and pretty clean.
