Guest Reviews
- Monica (7/5): Soggiorno per 4 amiche - L'appartamento è in una zona molto bella. Lo staff non è presente ed è contattabile solo telefonicamente o tramite mail
- Leticia (9/5): -
- Janine (9/5): -
- Marianne Christine (3/5): Dyrt og slidt - Beliggenhed er god og det er nemt at finde. God instruktion fra udlejer. Internet fungerer perfekt . Meget meget slidt lejlighed. Gulvene knirker så meget, at man dårligt tør gå på i frygt for at vække hele ejendommen. Vi boede på tredje sal og kunne tydeligt høre når de gik runt i lejligheden over os. Ingen fuger i badeværelsegulvet . Køkkenet kunne godt være bedre udstyret. Bla.er der ikke et skærebræt. Der er en knivblok med 4 knive, men ikke en af dem kan så meget som skære en spejlæg over. Fugtskader i lofterne. Er du dårligt gående er det ikke en venlig trappe at gå på. Alt i alt er det absolut ikke pengene værd.
- Maria Jose (9/5): Precioso apartamento - La ubicación y la limpieza y la aslstencia. En general gue maravilloso. Repetiria sin dudar. Le falta algo mantenimiento, y que nuestro apartamento estaba en la 3 planta sin ascensor.
- Maria (1/5): Peor reserva de toda mi vida - El peor alojamiento de mi vida, ya que me cancelaron la reserva el mismo día mintiéndome sobre el motivo y sin ofrecerme soluciones. El mismo día de la reserva, recibí un mensaje donde me cancelaban la reserva por “problemas de mantenimiento”. Mentira! Había otro huésped dentro, lo comprobé al intentar entrar. Según Viridiana apartments, recibí ese mensaje a las 11 del mediodía cancelándome la reserva, mensaje que a mí no me llegó hasta la noche. Y mensaje donde no me daban soluciones, no me decían si me devolvían el dinero, no me daban un número de teléfono/mail/ contacto para ser reubicada, NADA. Además, durante todo el problema de reubicación que duró casi 3h desde las 20:00 hasta las casi 00:00 el anfitrión no contestaba! Pésima gestión, pésimas soluciones. No reservéis jamás con ellos.

- Debora (10/5): Great - That the property were spacious, clean and fully equipped.
- Cristina (8/5): -
- Carmen (9/5): -
- VALVANUZ (7/5): Buena ubicación y experiencia para una visita corta a Londres - Ubicación y amplitud Último piso sin ascensor y ruidos internos
Ducha muy pequeña
- Emma (10/5): -
- Jane (9/5): Elegant spacious apartment in excellent location - Spacious modern warm and comfortable Nothing !
- Sarah (9/5): Comfortable stay in a perfect location - The rooms were clean and comfortable with good facilities. The shampoo/conditioner/body and tea/coffee was a lovely added bonus. Close enough to the station but far enough off the road to not hear lots of traffic noise. Floor boards were a little creaky so felt a bit conscious walking about so as not to disturb the people in the apartment below a
- Emma (8/5): Bra stor lägenhet men läge nära t-bana men man borde byta ut bilderna så det stämmer med det köket etc man får - Läget var perfekt! Inte samma lägenhet som det var på bilderna. Samt att vattentrycket var inte bra och elementen och golvet knarrade mycket
- Bruno (9/5): Excelente localização e conforto. - Excelente localização num bairro muito acolhedor e a 5 min a pé da estação de metro.
Casa muito boa para casal com filhos ou amigos. Possui 3 casas de banho, 2 quartos uma grande sala e uma cozinha equipa. Tinha aquecimento em todos as áreas. Entrava um pouco de frio na casa de banho do quarto.
- Leonardo (10/5): -
- Claudette (10/5): Fantastische accommodatie - Leuke en rustige plek, van alle gemakken voorzien, netjes onderhouden. Er was overal rekening mee gehouden behalve het toiletpapier. Maar dat is geen spelbreker.
- VULI (10/5): - Everything was okay in the Apartment at Viridian Apartment Everything was okay in the Viridian Apartment
- fiona (7/5): Great location and plenty of space in the apartment for four adults . - Great location, comfy beds, had a leaking roof but it was attended to. Spacious apartment with super kitchen. Not able to check in until 4pm and had to vacate by 10 am which is rather early.
Apartment is up a lot of rather steep stairs so be aware when booking.
- Sharon (2/5): Only good thing is supermarket close & Gloucester Road tube a short distance away - The only good thing was the location to the Sainsbury supermarket and Gloucester Road tube & restaurants 1. Asked for ironing board cover on day of arrival as the one provided was too long too thin sponge & a ripped burnt too small silver top. On day 4 we still hadn’t received it in spite of several emails and advising we were going to theatre to celebrate our 35th wedd anniv. Just told “it’s been passed to housekeeping”. 2. The panelled flooring installed incorrectly so sounds like whip cracking when walking throughout kitchen lounge & hall. Upstairs flooring the same so overhead noise also. Horrendous. 3. Cracked floor tiles lifting in both bathrooms. 4. Window handle missing so it didn’t close properly letting in outside noise at night. 4. No manual for oven/washing machine couldn’t use. 5. Window draught excluder fell out whilst on toilet. Worst we’ve stayed in for many years. Never again.
- Florin Daniel (8/5): -
- Osheen (5/5): It was a convenient stay as someone visiting out of town and looking to live in London for a few days. There was no wate - The location was good. The property was functional and safe. The 24 hour help staff was attentive and friendly. The place was slightly in disrepair. The en suit has an odd smell to it that did not go away. We weren’t made aware that there won’t be water at night which made it hard to live there comfortably since we couldn’t drink water or use the toilets at night. That would have been good to know in advance and really made our experience bad.
- Tomas (3/5): - Water was stopped We had no watter
- Ethan (4/5): I wish I had taking better care to read other people’s reviews on the property , as it seems these are all quite common - Beautiful apartment in a good location One bathroom had the most horrendous smell to the point we could not enter it or the room it was in.
No A.C during an incredibly hot period causing us to not be able to get a good night sleep or enjoy being in the apartment at all as it was like a sauna.
The noise from outside through out the evening tremendously loud with people smashing bottles along with shouting and yelling, this occurred every night we stayed there.
- James (6/5): - Sin
k in main bathroom was blocked
Bad odour in ensuite bathroom
- matthew (10/5): -
- Ee Chen (8/5): Comfortable, spacious and fully equipped apartment. Located neat amenities, restaurants and underground stations. - The flat is spacious and clean, it has everything I look for such as reliable water heater, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, clean sheets and towels, adequate storages…..and little nice details such as tea & coffee supplies and toiletries. What are missing are the washing machine suds and kitchen towels, although these are no big deal as our stay this time is not that long to require them. Conveniently located near to supermarkets, restaurants and the underground stations. I have known that there is no lift and have requested for a flat at the lower floor. Alas, we are given flat 5 which is the 5th floor up from the bottom of the staircase. Manoeuvring the check-in luggage all the way up the steep and narrow staircase to the flat is a challenging feat which I can’t manage alone without another help. I would love to come back again but on condition is not flat 4 upwards.
- Theresa (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Suzanne (8/5): Short Stay - Spacious Floor boards creaked, some in the kitchen had large spaces between boards, dryer didn’t work, wifi only good in living area, steep stairs
- Kaya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kev (8/5): Few days stay got us as couple was made very enjoyable with the lovely apartment with space and fully equipped ,clean an - Great location , great communication
Lovely apartment that’s well equipped . Made our stay very enjoyable
- Denisefracchia (4/5): Disappointing & not worth the money - Location to tube stations, supermarkets and food outlets The 76 steep and narrow stairs up to the top floor that was only revealed the day before our arrival
The broken Venetian blinds that offered no heat/light protection.
The difficulty in opening/ closing windows and 1 that was completely stuck shut
The rock hard pillows
The difficulty in getting in/out of the bathtub for a disappointing shower
The broken toilet cistern button
The broken bathroom tap that was difficult to open as it moved in its socket
The no mirror anywhere near a power point to do my hair
- Sarah (6/5): - Wish we had known it was up 4 flights of stairs with no elevator prior to booking. Also had a very gross sewer smell coming from one of the bathrooms for our whole visit.
- Sharon-lea (8/5): Great location . Very clean. Thank good we could open windows for fresh air. Uncomfortable heating - Very roomy, two bathrooms , great location, close to transport and restaurants Hearing every movement from apartment above. Heating much too high and too hard to figure how to turn off or turn low., bit hard to carry all luggage up all those floors. Service done on Thursday , they didn’t clean at all just changed sheets and replaced towels . Didn’t replace anything like soap toilet paper give more coffee etc
- Francisco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (8/5): Very good - Great area
- Zane (9/5): Superb -
- Sonika (1/5): I have a feeling they sold the accommodation for a higher price and we got bumped. - We never got to see it. Our stay got cancelled and we were offered smaller alternatives accommodation not in the same area. Never got to experience it.
- Carrie (9/5): Great location, great apartment - The location of the property was great and the apartment had everything we needed for a short visit. Directions & access were easy to follow and straightforward. We were four ladies and felt safe walking late at night. The shower in the main bathroom was a bit hit and miss with temperature but the en-suite in the smaller room was fine. Slight musty smell in the hall way but bedrooms and living are were fine.
- Ciorsdan (7/5): Good - Great location & very easy to access. Good instruction received in advance. The apartment was clean & spacious. Check in time is late enough, 4pm, & when we arrived at the apartment at 4.35pm, the cleaner was still there & we had to stand outside the door for another 5 minutes.
There was no hand soap in either bathroom.
- Asam (10/5): Great place to stay with easy access no need to wait on anyone - Easy to access. Clean. Great location. Loose tiles on the floor.
- Hamood (8/5): Nice apartment and nice neighborhood. - Cleanness, good facilities and cosy. Beds are not that comfortable, windows are not soundproof, wifi needs to be improved and there is no lift in the building. But still very good place for staying.
- Yang (9/5): Superb - The shower water is not good, it’s turned to cold very quick.
- Laurianne (10/5): Spacious stay near South Ken, perfect for a family - The property was very spacious and clean.
Love the digital keypad on the door,
Very handy !
Very nice and residential area. Not Far from
Station and Kensington high street.
Thanks The noise in the street.
The fact that you have to checkout at 10am when the checkin is at 4pm.. it’s not flexible at all I think.
Not like an hotel.
- Ion (3/5): Alright - The space There was no hot water in the bath or in the shower
- Charlene (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (7/5): . - The location , and the instructions to enter the property was concise and straightforward. I didn’t like that the apartment was on a sub floor. Making my way down the stairs with luggage was very challenging.
- Bree (9/5): Superb - This review is actually for a Viridian apartment on Sloane Avenue, Chelsea as our booking had to be changed due to problems with the original apartment. We had a very similar apartment with all of the same facilities, a great size - perfect for a family or a group of friends - in an ideal location for accessing everything in London (tube station only a 5-minute walk). Self check-in was very simple, and staff were very helpful and quick to respond when I emailed them regarding an issue with the Wi-Fi. It could be a little noisy on a night outside the bedroom window, however, our apartment was on the "basement" level with the street directly above so this may have been why. That being said, none of us had any issues getting to sleep as the beds were extremely comfy.
- Constantia (1/5): VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT UTILISE VIRIDIAND ACCOMMODATION AGAIN - We booked well in advance with Viridian apartments to stay in Earls Court, a carefully chosen location known to us and very central. Just before we were about to leave we were notified by Viridian that our apartment was not, upon inspection available due to disrepair. Viridian said they’d allocated a better apartment in Brentford.
As it was so close to arrival we had no choice but to accept their change and they assured us it was a good location.
Viridian attempt to find us a suitable apartment in our chosen and paid for location was non existent. We arrived at our now NOT chosen apartment. Brentford was quite frankly way out of London where we wanted to be. It was not a nice feel area and being a group the travelling cost us so much more just to get to anything close by. We were severely disappointed with the company and it ruined our London Stay having to catch multiple busses, trains and tubes to access anything with close tubes often not in operation.
NEVER again will we book through this company. A holiday ruined by late notice of our up front paid for accommodation. They offered to refund us, but by this stage no properties were available at any affordable price.
Very dissatisfied and first time I’ve had to give a bad review of a company. And I travel extensively.
Lindsey Tucker Explained above.
- Sally (3/5): Poor company to do business with no client satisfaction - Great location easy walking distance to tube stations,supermarket and many attractions in London When we had problems with hotwater and heating, no power for 8 hours. They were slow to get back me via messages. We were offered refund for last two days when we had no hotwater and flew back to Australia unwashed. The service manager Jacob just dragged it out with no intention
- Oldham (6/5): Amazing location in central London! - Amazing location close to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Also walking distance from main tube lines No elevator, gets really warm inside, would’ve been good if they leave windows open. Also, kitchen appliances and cutlery are very basic and limited, and the floor creaks like crazy. It’s a good place but for the expensive price would’ve expected better things. Also they left some things for the washing machine but didn’t look good so we had to buy our own. Also no basics like salt, pepper, sugar aside from small envelopes.
- Brendaszewan (8/5): Very good -
- Chiara (7/5): Good - Nice place, close to the metro and restaurants. Upcharge for early check-in and coffee machine.
- A (10/5): Good - Location Flat 5 floor is too highest by walking
- Harminder (9/5): Wonderful apartment and will love to stay there again - Beautiful apartment very close to the Earls Court Station .
Very clean , well equipped and spacious with beautiful high ceilings and windows allowing plenty of light .
Perfect for a stay with family or friends . Nothing
- Aidín (4/5): Convenient location in a very nice area. Accommodation was disappointing. I wouldn't book again. - The property was in a good location. We were a group of 2 couples and had booked 2 double rooms. The apartment had 1 double room and 1 single room. There was insufficient bed linen. I had to make multiple phone calls to get the situation resolved. 1 couple ended up sleeping on a sofa bed.
It was a basement apartment which had signs of damp: strong damp smell in places and peeling paint etc.
- Drummond (7/5): Location excellent, remainder was “just” ok. - Location and comfortable beds Creaky floors, shower and tub very slippery
- Sylvie (8/5): Spacious appartment near the subway, excellent location to go & explore London - The appartment was spacious, full of light and at a great location in a nice neighbourhood. Getting in with the codes we got before travelling was easy. The appartment was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable. The appartment is near a subway station, so it is an excellent location to go and explore London. Nearby there is a Sainsbury's, that is open really late in case of need of a midnight snack, or if you want to have breakfast in the appartment. In the vicinity there are many good restaurants like the Italian resto "Febe". The kitchen is well equipped, all you need is there. There is one bigger room, and one smaller room, and there are 2 bathrooms - excellent when travelling with friends or family. Communication with the agency went smooth, we always got a very fast reply. Really good value for money, would recommend! We had a bit of a heating problem, it got really hot in the appartment and we did not find how to fix it.
We had to store our luggage in a hotel till 4pm, as we could only get into the appartment after 4pm. If we wanted to get in at 3pm, 50£ would be charged, which is way above what we payed for Stasher. So when carrying luggage, you need to count about twice (in and out) 6£ per piece for luggage storage, as you can't get into the appartment earlier than 4pm, nor check out later than 10am. When on a weekend trip, that makes a difference. Just a note: we rented the appartment on the 5th floor. For us it was a nice climb, when you are not that fit, there is no elevator, so best request a ground floor flat.
- Peter (8/5): Lovely, quiet apartment in a great location -
- Evangelia (8/5): Very good - The property was beautiful and the location perfect. Was clean and tidy. The only problem was the door with the passcode. Many times did not work and we ended up trying to get in after phone calls. The lock system I think is not convenient The only problem was the door with the passcode.

- Saud (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lee (8/5): We have a wonderful and memorable stay. - Comfortable and Convenient. Location is close to all amenities. The staff are efficient and polite.
- Sophie (7/5): Good - All facilities, rooms, baths, kitchen, are great! low-efficient communication way - only email.
- Fion (7/5): Comfortable stay with convenient transportation but stairs - Location is excellent only stairs and without lift, had hard time moving the big luggage up to third floor.
- Vivek (8/5): Generally good - Location Creaky floor very noisy.
- Alanah (3/5): Poor -
