King court apartments in Hull

In September I had a 3 night break away in Hull East Yorkshire. Kings Court Apartments In the centre of Hull is this modern apartment complex. Its within walking distance to whitefriar gate, Hull Marina, Princes Quay and St Stevens shopping centre. There is a vibrant mix of shops, galleries, museums and impressive architecture. We found the Kings Court apartments on air B&B. Although not advertised as accessible, we were informed it was. In reality though, the access isn't great. I managed, only because I have limited walking mobility. Our apartment was on the first floor a swift right turn from the carpeted stairs, once you leave the lift. The people who own the apartment, don’t own the entire complex, but maybe tape to highlight where the stairs are would be a consideration for those who are visually impaired to know where the stairs are. As you come in the front door, you're greeted with a selection of 5 doors leading to: living room and kitchen, main bathroom, bedroom with en-suite, smaller bedroom and the cleaning cupboard. The doors are small. My chair just about fitted through. The open plan living room has a radio and bin to both sides of the door. Around the slight corner there was a camp bed set up, which was very comfy. Next to this, in the centre of the living area wall is a flat screen tv, which is audio description and subtitle enabled. To the right of the chair in the corner, the living area furniture is displayed in a square with a 2-seater couch facing the tv. Behind that is the kitchen, which was built into the wall. I was a bit confused what was where, so was glad my mum and friend were there to help. The kitchen had a square-shaped dining table that was a good height for an average sized wheelchair. The bathroom was a good size to get in, but only had wiggle room, not turning space. The toilet was in the centre of the wall, directly opposite the sink. It had no bars to grip onto. I didn't like the bath. It was difficult to get in as it was so high. It was very wide too and I could actually turn around in the bath. This turned out to be a good thing as I couldn't get out! I tried using the handles on the sides of the bath to haul myself out, but they were too high. I tried using the taps as leverage to pull up on, but I wasn't strong enough. In the end, I turned to the side of the bath and my mum had to, sort of, lift me out. The main bedroom (my room)- this one, after some furniture shifting to make room for the chair to go by the bed was a decent size. Next to the double bed was a touch lamp, so ideal for blind/v.i and those with limited mobility. However, like in the main bathroom, the en suite had no grip handles. I had to hold onto the radiator to lower myself down, or, when that was on, the sink. The toilet, sink and shower were all squashed in. The shower was not accessible. If the flat owner could consider fitting bars to hold onto in the bathrooms and perhaps even widen the doorways a little, then they can confidently advertise as an accessible apartment. Overall, I'd say, the little touches, like the touch lamp and tv with ad/subs, are great, but the big things, like the bathrooms, need work doing. At home, I use a walking frame and took it along, but didn't feel safe using it as the laminated wood flooring was slippy underfoot, even with my doc martens on, which usually have a sturdy grip on them. I have informed the owners of the access situation and hope they'll react positively.
