Guest Reviews

• ElizabethAdamowicz (10/5): - Location amazing
• Zeray (5/5): -
• Abdulqadir (9/5): -
• Andrius (10/5): Outstanding value for money. Cleanliness and safe property, nice kitchen, great all amenities - Safety, cleanliness, all amenities, kitchen space , the actual size of the room, very friendly and professional customer service. It was a bit loud / noisy when someone was coming and going down the stairs or outside the property as my room was next to entrance door
• Carmen (6/5): - La ubicación que tiene y la autonomía a la hora de llegar. La falta de limpieza y al ser un espacio compartido la gente hace tejido hasta altas horas…
• Francis (8/5): -
• Leshem (1/5): - Here is the compliant details I wrote the company: Firstly, the check-in time of 4pm is already unusually late. Despite this, I received a message informing me that the cleaner was running late and that my check-in might be delayed. Upon arrival, I was surprised to see piles of disposable items and cleaning materials placed on both sides of the door to my room, apparently being used as a storage or supply area. This immediately created a poor first impression. When I entered the room, it was very cold and there was no hot water. I was also not provided with any instructions on how to turn on the heating, which I eventually managed to figure out myself. However, the main issue was the noise and the overall environment. The room is located extremely close to the main street, and the windows are not double-glazed. In addition, the curtains do not block the strong city lights, making it impossible to create a dark or quiet environment suitable for sleeping. Furthermore, several neighbouring rooms appeared to be occupied by young guests who had come to celebrate in London. There was constant noise throughout the night, loud conversations, people entering and exiting rooms, shouting, and the sound of high heels on the floor above my room. The noise continued throughout the entire night and did not stop until around 4am, making it absolutely impossible to get any sleep. In short, my night was a nightmare and I did not get any sleep at all, which was particularly frustrating given that I had an important business meeting the following morning. Additional issues: bed was unstable and clearly very worn, and the rubbish bin looked extremely old and damaged. While I appreciate that two clean towels were provided, this was unfortunately one of the very few positive aspects of the stay. accommodation was not honestly represented and that basic measures to improve guest comfort! Please read the above !
• Omar (4/5): -
• Hirst (9/5): -
• Elizabeth (7/5): -
• Evans (1/5): I paid online with my credit card yet could not even get the opportunity to enter the facility. - I never liked anything about Verv because the whole experience seemed like a scam. The place is marketed as a 4-hotel yet is anything than a hotel. I presume it is a AirBnB with very poor reception for those who are unfortunate enough to fall for the scam.
• Uliana (1/5): It's terrible. I don't recommend it. - There is little positive, more negative. I was in London for two weeks and stayed in this apartment. There are a lot of disappointments. I'll tell you point by point: 1) no shampoo, soap or other hygiene products! 2) Not once during the week was the garbage taken out, the room cleaned or the linen and towels changed! 3) When moving to another room, they did not allow me to go in and personally collect my belongings from the old room, arguing that the pin to the electronic lock is provided from 16:00 and the old one is not valid from 11:00. And no one cares that you are just moving to another room! When collecting personal belongings by housekeepers, you can write a separate story, after which I lost a bunch of my things (such as jeans, a Turban made of natural silk for drying hair, leggings for sports), other things were just thrown into the suitcase, including open шампуні🤦‍♂️ At the same time, they simply left the suitcase with their belongings in the common corridor. Apparently, it was difficult for them to carry a suitcase that weighed just over 5 kilograms 4) Plates and cutlery (spoons and forks) were dirty
• Evans (7/5): -
• Paulette (8/5): Good - Location was great. Breakfast was not included Pillows were terrible. Either too flat or too hard.
• Dave (4/5): Deposit required - Good location, nice room The requirement to pay a deposit isn't made clear,, had I known I wouldn't have made the booking. Shower has two shower units, one is broken which is quite shabby.
• Misghna (10/5): - Love it and it is clean and organic Location and simplicity
• Rankin (7/5): - Easy to access , great location great price Was pretty noisy with other guests coming and going at all hours of the night, there wasn't a sanitary bin provided so was mixed with general waste in bathroom
• Rebecca (8/5): -
• opy (5/5): -
• Ghazal (5/5): - It had the most unnecessarily complicated check-in experience.
• Humphrey (7/5): Good location, comfy bed - Really convenient location and very comfy bed. Apartment above us, you can hear everything. The person upstairs didn't stop walking around their room until 3.:30am
• Ludovico (7/5): - Bagno mal gestito w mal pulito
• VALENTIN-ROBERTO (8/5): -
• Hakim (8/5): - Everything was perfect The shower was outside and shared.
• Thomas (8/5): -
• Chris J Baylis (2/5): DO NOT USE - I did not get chance to try the accommodation because of poor communication from the host The landlord uses Canadian company, Hostaway to manage bookings online. I got multiple messages asking me to give credit card details and to upload passport ID, even though I had already done this. When I called to ask how do I get into the building, I was told I would receive details 48 hours in advance. The details came less than 2 hours in advance! By that time I had abandoned all hope and had booked elsewhere. I lost my money. DO NOT USE!
• Michele (4/5): -
• Jemma (4/5): -
• Tracy (9/5): - Great space and to have a kitchen was fantastic! Lots of towels, comfy bed and very central. It was a bit dusty and the stairs were very steep.
• Kairo (1/5): -
• Josie (7/5): - The bedroom was spacious, bedding and bed nicely cleaned. The location was excellent. It was great to be able to use the kitchen etc which was all very clean. I would stay again. Don't expect luxury in the entrance area and stairs and it is a shared bathroom but still it is a lovely room and shared kitchen. The stairs carpet was really grubby and could do with being replaced. I didnt get check in codes until I phoned at arrival however got sorted quickly and easy to get in contact.
• Paul (1/5): Gutted - Nothing My money was taken BEFORE I was informed about not only photo id ( I get that maybe) but they wanted £100 deposit! Which I just didn’t have! When I explained the staff were rude & informed me I couldn’t get my £60 back!! I use booking.com ALL THE TIME (15-20times pm) & have never been treated like this before
• Marc (5/5): -
• Alesiani (4/5): -
• Daniel (8/5): - I think the first thing to say is that I paid £87 for 1 night which is incredibly cheap for the London and the area. We were going to a wedding from 4pm and would not be using the room/ hotel much. The shared bathroom could do with a good scrub and the loo roll holder was not properly attached to the wall. The soap dispenser tube does not reach down to the soap. The carpet in the room could do with a clean and the room smells somewhat musty. However it has a charming balcony. My feeling is that the place needs a bit of TLC applied to it, and a bit of effort to make it nicer. I didn’t use the kitchen but you could cook a proper meal there if you wanted to. I go back to what I said though which is at just over £80 it is fantastic value. We would stay there again if it was a trip where we were mainly out. It is an incredible location. The staff were helpful and accommodating after a bit of back and forth. I think it is always more difficult when they need set procedures in place given that there does not appear to be staff on site regularly. It was good value for money given the low cost.
• Sebastian (1/5): -
• Evan (8/5): - Great. property in a lovely location. House was well used but clean and perfect for a short trip.
• james (7/5): - Great location, inexpensive, decent size room, clean and tidy
• Deadiamante (10/5): - Kind staff and a comfortable place to stay in
• allen (8/5): -
• Andreas-Lorenz (7/5): - Whole process quite uncomplicated and straight forward. Good maintenance Shared bathroom, but it's part of the concept.
• Andrei (6/5): -
• Marzia (8/5): Very good and clean - The flat is tiny and very cleaned, it has everything you need for a couple of days including coffee, tea and sugar. All the appliances are well maintained and they match perfectly the flat’s vibes. The only problem is for the toilet, it wasn’t flushing properly and paper wasn’t going down. A little tip: i think it would be great to have a light above the mirror in the bath. Thank you so much!!
• Marin Loaiza (8/5): -
• Calvin (6/5): - I missed that this property had shared ablutions. If this is not your thing, then beware.
• Nick (8/5): - location was ideal, room was very good door handles/codes were a bot temperamental. They didnt explain that the kitchen facilities were for all so better descriptions may help others experience this better
• Anna (2/5): - Please save your self from great distress and don’t stay here. We got locked out of our room at 1am due to our key code no longer working and there is no one to contact so we had nowhere to sleep or no way to access any of our belongings or vital medication
• Aýmen (10/5): -
• Libbie (8/5): Great stay! - It was a good stay unfortunately was a few small problems like one of the other residents was a bit noisey and there was a couple bits missed to clean but other wise the room was comfy and its in a good area and affordable, i would actuality recomend as the doors are locked with codes so if your alone its pretty secure!
• Imogen (8/5): -
• Benitez Valverde (9/5): Felt like home - Kitchen and some breakfast available and great views from the window
• Debbie (10/5): Apartment so close to upper street. Everything was just perfect for our stay. We will be back to stay. Islington is a be - Our stay was excellent from start to finish. Staff were so friendly and room was perfect, very clean and comfortable. Can not think of anything that we didn’t like.
• Lux (8/5): -
• Verified traveler (6/5): Wouldn't recommend - Put off by the fact the electricity went off twice during our 2 night booking, both times required access to our room for sorting. Tried messaging regarding this and got no response. The main door keypad is sensitive too, not ideal when you can't get in returning late at night. Internal doors are squeaky so when you're next to the bathroom you hear everyone going in and out, many often slam doors too. Expensive for the type of stay.
• Scottinblack (10/5): Exceptional - Price location All good
• Rubel (10/5): Perfect place, very close by bus or walk to major attractions. - Perfect place, very close by bus or walk to major attractions.
• Richard (1/5): Avoid at all costs - Avoid, the room is not habitat for humans. The room and bed was covered in ants. When I demanded a refund it took over an hour to sort and then I was told it's because the previous person at outside the day prior. Given the gaps in the wall and number of ants, this is not a 1 day issue but something that they have known about a while and hope no one notices. Avoid at all costs All of it, especially the ant covered bed
• Caroline (8/5): Very good - Felt secure. Central for Angel Modern but a bit tired
• Louise (7/5): Good -
• Alison (6/5): - No mention of a shared bathroom the listing - one of the most overpriced places we have stayed in London
• Michael (1/5): Bad - Location Poor experience, mould in bathroom ,smoke detector covered with bag. Had to phone for entry codes. Overpriced and disappointed.
• Hughes (7/5): Good -
• Morgan (5/5): Passable -
• Bruce (6/5): - The check in process was online and included seending photo-id and a security deposit - despite it being booked through Expedia and being a long time user of this site. And despite Expedia policy stating not to give payment details to the property. However, without which I would have had to find somewhere else at short notice. The lock mechanism on the front door was temperamental and didnt comply with the instructions until I tried lifting the handle rather than depressing it. I couldnt find the room once Id entered and had to walk through the kitchen, a laundry store and across a yard to find it. The best thing I coud say about the property is that it is reasonably cheap and was conveninet for where I was visiting. A good attempt at cleaning a tired and taudry room. Otherwise dreadful.
• Gemma (10/5): Excellent - Lovely place to stay, perfect location, would definitely stay here again. Allowed us to gain access an hour earlier than planned which helped a great deal
• Gareth (7/5): Good -
• Peratheepan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Taylor (10/5): - easy to find and conduct check-in and check-out
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Struggled to book in as I hadn't taken photo id with me, plus when trying to enter card details I had to go to my banking app to authorise it, which then reset everything
• Letisya (10/5): - My stay here was very good! Customer service was attentive and they gave me an upgrade for a better flat that suit my needs better for my trip. I reccomend!
• Shelton (8/5): simply good other than paying an advance £100 - NA Didn't like paying an advance £100
• Andrew (5/5): Passable - No reception paying deposit of £100 was to much
• Christoph (9/5): Superb -
• Karen (9/5): Was just there for a few days as I had a concert in the area, spent most of Tuesday in the room just relaxing - Really nice area, very little noise, clean, easy to get to Toilet seat was a bit wonky, the soap dispenser was broken, sewer like smell from sink.. all in all not really anything to complain about though
• Alba (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable, clean, warm and very luminous. A space of your own if you need to prepare food on your trip, in a very silent and nice neighbourhood. Great and cosy place in general. The checking time they offer I think is a bit late (16.00h)
• Colin (6/5): Ok place, good value for location. - Our room was outside in an outbuilding which we had to access via the kitchen - not sign posted and difficult to find. Room was ok, but the extra bed was very uncomfortable.
• Ololade (6/5): - I like the garden
• Verified traveler (2/5): Not recommended - Too crowded and noisy
• Karina (9/5): Superb - Everithing was great , clean, quiet and comfortable, thank you !
• Richard (6/5): Adequate, not great. - Good location. Nice building. No hot water in bathroom sink. Interesting shave. Surly staff.
• Elsie (6/5): Perfect for Union Chapel events - The bed was very comfortable and all rooms were very clean. The room had tea/coffee, towels, TV in the room, along with a lovely shared kitchen and laundry facilities. The street was very quiet. In fact the whole area was quiet. And it's only a ten minute walk to the Union Chapel The very heavy noisy door to the building kept SLAMMING. It's not great when your room is next to it. You need to put a sign up asking people to be careful not to let the door slam as guests may be sleeping. It took us all day to get there, and we were looking forward to a lie in. No chance. 😞. The bedroom door is also very heavy and noisy. You need to put some WD40 on the hinges to stop the squeaks, at least. And I banged my head on the TV that's just by the door each time lol. .
• Lee (9/5): Superb -
• Haneen (10/5): - Good customer service, actually very helpful always on call whenever you need. Nice house and well presented reception room Would stay again, very close to nice restaurants and tube stations good transport links and nice thriving area
• Frances (10/5): - Fantastic location, close to restaurants and bars. Easy to get to from central London. Very helpful customer service. Great price.
• Craig (10/5): - Took my 9 year old son to his first Arsenal game and booked a last minute night at Verv. It was perfect! Great facilities and about a 25 minute walk to the ground.
• Stuart (8/5): - Very convenient location, comfortable and quiet. My only issue was two other guests deciding to partake in, how can I put it in polite terms, extremely intimate activities in the shared living room!! Not the fault of the property I know so it wouldn't put me off staying here again :)
• Julie (4/5): Not pleasant - When I complained about the beeping the maintenance man eventually stopped it, but it started up again at 7am. The TV didn't work, the beeping every minute, the bathroom on the ground floor. Very scruffy everywhere apart from the kitchen. Having to pay £100 deposit.
• Vincenzo Lorenzo (6/5): Excellent customer phone service - Location is perfect. However the check in procedure not so easy. The customer service on the phone was delightful and understanding. I would suggest to inform the guests in advance for this kind of procedure.
• Anthony (8/5): Friendly owners with good communications throughout - Nice light and spacious
• Amna (8/5): Very good -
• Hancock (10/5): Exceptional -
• Agata (10/5): Exceptional - It was a one night stay for a concert at the O2 Academy and it’s a perfect location close by walking distance! Lots of shopping and restaurants choices; great night life even during normal week days. Easy access to the property and private bathroom were a bonus! If you aren’t used to busy city night life you might get spooked by the noises.
• Temesgen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ralph (9/5): Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. - Location Shared toilet
• Anna (8/5): Very good -
• Victoria (5/5): Passable - I didn’t like the constant sound of the clicking in the corridor of what seems the fire alarm. It was very audible throughout my stay.
• Dinko (2/5): Very poor - It was very cold and smell bad.
• Michael (10/5): - Comfortable and clean room, perfect for an overnight stay in Islington.
• Jarvis (9/5): Superb -
• Benjamin (1/5): Bad - Bloodstains on the bed, no heat, no hot water, one set of towels for two persons, bathroom smelled bad, sink tap was broken, very worn place. Only got a 50% refund even after these major issues.
