The current coronavirus crisis is unprecedented.  In these unpredictable times, we are relying so much on our NHS Staff, supermarket workers, delivery drivers, security personnel and all the other key workers, carrying on the background, working long hours to ensure we still have the necessary services and resources to get through this.

We recognise that many key workers are looking for safe accommodation through this time so they have a place close to their work to rest.  This may be because they have to work away from home, or just that they don’t want to put their families at risk of infection.  Both scenarios add to the challenges that they are already facing everyday.

Our response

In order to support the effort, Oliverball Serviced Apartments are offering our premium fully serviced accommodation in Portsmouth and Southsea at significantly reduced rates for key workers to isolate.

We provide properties for NHS staff, business travelers who are supporting the effort or family members who need to self isolate. Our accommodation is all self contained and dedicated for the use of the guest.  We have none of the shared spaces that you have to navigate at hotels that can provide increased opportunity for infection.

Every property is fully furnished and equipped with fresh towels/linen and condiments, smart TV and super fast broadband as standard, fully fitted and equipped kitchen. With your own space, and everything provided, it can still be comfortable and feel a little more like home.

To provide our guests with a safe place to stay and reduce the risk of infection within our property as far as possible, we have implemented a number of additional measures:

• Wherever possible, we leave 24 hours between one guest checking out and the next checking in
• The rooms are ventilated while they are cleaned
• The rooms are disinfected, as well as cleaned
• We have temporarily removed the decorative soft furnishings
• We provide hand and body soap as standard, as well as toilet roll, kitchen towels, laundry and dishwasher tablets and multi-surface cleaner
