Hampden Apartments - The Charles

Well equipped and location

-

Great location, big bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 is en-suite). You definitely go wow when you walk in, as it’s just so spacious. Nice wooden floor in part of the flat. En suite looked newly done up, and everything worked. Free parking is available - and they were happy for two cars to be parked. Good information on how to access flat via lock box etc.

No info pack! So had no idea how anything worked, had to experiment and google. Luckily it wasn’t cold, as had absolutely no idea how to adjust the heating, if it’s even possible to. Main bathroom toilet flush button was broken, and the flush mechanism was running constantly. We took off the cistern lid, so managed. Only half of the living area lights seemed to work, so it was quite dimly lit in the evenings. Main bedroom bed slats had some fallen/missing, we were able to put some back so it was useable, but it was a bit odd. Smaller bedroom window doesn’t open at all, would be grim in the summer. Spa bath doesn’t work. No coffee machine (did have a cafetière). Uncomfortable sofa and chairs, still have backache. Toaster didn’t really work properly. Carpets in bedrooms were really stained, as was the main staircase carpet in the building. Beige, who does beige carpets in a heavy wear area! I did text some of this to the managers through booking.com messages, but have yet to have a response. (Weeks later). I didn’t phone the emergency number as nothing was an actual emergency. But a response would have been nice. Overall, the place looks good on first arriving, but all the problems made it a lot less appealing. It was expensive, so I did expect better. Don’t think we would return unless we knew things had improved.

The property was clean, beautifully apportioned and very well located for other attractions, such as Windsor Castle and the town centre.

Gorgeous, spacious apartment. Location is great and just a short walk from the town. Parking is a bonus!

Lovely first floor apartment in a nice residential area with spacious rooms and balcony with outdoor seating and all the basic essentials. There was a complimentary pint of milk in the fridge and it was nice to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee when we arrived. I would advise anyone traveling with children to stop at a shop and get a few basic items, e.g. bread, butter, juice and cereal to save having to go out when you arrive as no shops in immediate area. We hired a car at the airport and there was free safe parking provided with the rental. The apartment was a very comfortable and well located base within easy reach of Legoland and to explore the area. We also used uber taxi to get train from Slough to Paddington for a day in London. I would recommend and would stay here again.

nothing to dislike
