Guest Reviews

• Carmela (8/5): Comfortable great location - Property was very close to South Kensington Station about five minute walk, which got to most London’s attractions and also took us out to airport in 40 minutes , The kitchen was fairly well to equipped and we appreciated having a washing machine. We could not control the underfloor heating system which I believe is controlled by the main building complex. It got very warm at night grading winter.
• De Arcos A. (9/5): - The Studio has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Amazing location, comfortable bed and overall layout. The lift wasn't working.
• Alfonso_IBZ (9/5): Buen Valor en una excelente ubicacion - La Ubicación es genial. Metro de SouthKen al lado. La cocina en habitacion separada esta genial -ideal para ahorrar y comer en el apto para una estacia de 4-7 dias... y la ducha esta genial! Las vistas de la habitacion son a patio interior
• Shaun (10/5): Excellent Hosts - The hosts were excellent The elevators didn't work in the building. But that is a building issue not the hosts issue
• Angeles (6/5): - La ubicacion, cerca de varios medios de transporte y de supermercados. Habia disponibles capsulas para los lavados de ropa. Al departamento le hace falta mantenimiento, por ejemplo: encontramos una ventana rota y que no cerraba, si bien ofrecieron ir a arreglarla es algo que deberian haber visto antes de que llegaramos; del desague de la cocina salia olor feo; la mesa tenia varios tornillos desajustados lo que hacia que fuera endeble y se moviera al apoyarse sobre la misma. Por otro lado, el placard mas grande estaba lleno de cosas de limpieza con lo cual no se podia usar para guardar valijas; la cama parece ser de resortes y no es del todo comoda ya que es poco estable. Si bien se mostraron dispuestos a solucionar el tema de la ventana que les mencionamos, el rejunte de varios pequeños detalles hacen decaer el estado del departamento.
• Jeanette (10/5): - Everything went very smoothly. Access system worked perfectly.
• Malgorzata (10/5): Really lovely place. Feels like home. - Cozy place, comfortable bed, heating.. as I like when is nice warm, kitchen fully equipped. Washing machine.. Big plus.. As it's winter and everything gets dirty easily during rainy days. Even few capsules for wash.. It's not happening often in places all over London / hotels. Washing machine is often sharing or not at all in the apartment. Everything was ready to just settle in so I highly appreciate it in this place.
• DIMITRI1968 (4/5): - The location is excellent. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were 2 closets for clothes and just enough floor space to place one suitcase. Cleanliness was approximate at best (the closet floors and shelves were dirty, the bathroom floor as well). When we arrived, we had to empty the closets from things such as broken shelves, a fan etc.. The temperature in the room was extremely high but there was no way of lowering the temperature. The bed was very narrow and clearly insufficient for 2 adults to sleep comfortably. The place looks tired. The owners (or managers) are unhelpful. They do everything remotely and their only contribution to their guests well being is to send automated messages repeatedly reminding guests they have to leave by 11 a.m.. If you want to check in early, there is no way. If you leave after 10 a.m. but before 11, the cleaning lady will be waiting outside the door. We have stayed in the same building many times and regret to say that this was a disappointing experience.

• Romina (9/5): Maravillosa experiencia en Londres - El lugar en general está muy bien, ubicado en un barrio hermoso, el lugar cómodo, climatizador, completo ducha de agua bien caliente, cama cómoda , cocina equipada. Y si alguien habla de algún fallo es mínimo! En general lo positivo pesa mucho más ! Estás en un barrio super caro con un valor accesible ! Que solo hay un ascensor pero eso no depende del propietario sino del hotel, igual subir por escalera no es algo demasiado terrible son pocos pisos.
• Patricia (9/5): Location, location, location - The property was central and in a safe and convenient part of London. We walked everywhere and the fact that there was a Sainsbury’s and Marks and Spencer food so close to go to was handy and convenient. The checkin process was a huge problem. We didn’t hear anything for the property until three hours before we were allowed to enter. We arrived at 10am at Chelsea Cloisters and went to the main reception who told us that they had no link to the booking as it was a private booking. They would not look after our luggage. We rang the owner who said we could possibly asked the cleaner if we could leave the luggage in the room while she cleaned at midday, so my elderly mum and I. (Keep in mind, we had been travelling on a plane for 27 hours by now from Australia) When I went up to ask, the cleaning woman opened the door just a fraction, I tried to explain what I wanted to happen, the cleaning lady was irate and kept saying ‘no English, no English’ , ‘Me clean’. She then slammed the door shut on me. Mum and I had no choice but to sit in the foyer severely jet lagged and wait until 3 pm for checkin. We didn’t hear from the property until at least 2 pm, way of email. I was luck that I had internet roaming. But in retrospect, I wonder what would happen to anyone who would have been waiting or relying on internet service in the hotel.
• Ivan (10/5): - All perfect very helpful
• Russo (10/5): Very happy to find this place. My stay was awesome! Highly recommend! - Location, safety, public transportation, The fact that because it’s rented privately, the hotel staff doesn’t want to help you at all. This isn’t the owner’s fault at all. We arrived after a very difficult first day in London and I was happy to find this place last minute, but for some reason we were having phone issues, and the receptionist talked to us as if we were invading their place. My advice is that if is your first time in Europe, make sure everything is a 100% in order. Again, not the owner’s fault. We were able to resolve the issues thanks to a young man working in another unit, from there everything was great.
• Hasibe (8/5): Great location and cosy room. I definitely stay there again. - The room is small but it has everything you need. We had a comfortable stay there. The location is great. The kitchen facilities are enough to do whatever you want. The owner answered all of our questions quickly and tried to sort the problems out. We felt safe and comfortable there. There was only one lift which is working. We mostly walk thru the steps because we need to wait for a long long time. It was difficult when we carry something.
• Nicky (9/5): We loved it - The room was very clean and nice, we had a wonderful stay -
• Caifeng (8/5): Very good -
• Katie (7/5): Overall, the location is convenient and the hosts were responsive and kind. The studio itself could use some simple touc - I was visiting a friend who is in Royal Brompton hospital. The location for that was perfect. It is a very easy walk to the hospital and to South Kensington station. The studio had what I needed, and I appreciate that the kitchen had olive oil, salt and pepper, etc. I love that the property had wine glasses, coffee mugs, etc. Finally, the hosts were incredibly responsive. They allowed early check in which I SO appreciated after flying over night from the states. They checked to be sure I was able to get in ok and that everything worked well. When I had trouble with the keypad or questions, they responded quickly. The building itself is quite dated, but that is no fault of the owners of this studio. I do feel the studio itself could be made to be a little more comfortable and welcoming. The walls are all just white with almost no decoration or pictures at all. There is one table with metal folding chairs. I would like to see actual chairs at the table, and it really needs another table or stand of some sort. There is no space to put any toiletries in the bathroom. I also feel a night stand and lamp should be on both sides of the bed. The keypad to get into the apartment is finicky. It always ended up working, but it was never quick. There are times I would have to try for 2-3 minutes for it to register my hand.
• Kyriakoula (1/5): Bad - owner was rude and closed the phone, unhelpful.I did not receive the email with the code to open the door and when I called the owner they closed the phone and was very rude. finally I found the email in my spam and managed to get in the room
• Jose (8/5): Very good -
• Stavros (8/5): Very good - Location is superb, 10 minutes from South Ken station, portered building. The apartment is in need of renovation, several signs of wear and tear, cleaning equipement stored in the closet.
• Alina (9/5): Nice, comfy flat with easy commute to sightseeings - Most of all - location, it’s very close to the main sightseeing, I literally used to go to Buckingham palace within 30 minutes. It’s warm and cozy flat. Kitchen contains everything I needed. For the one traveler I believe it’s really perfect.
• Lin (7/5): Good - The location is nice. The staff is helpful and can response in seconds. We were suggested to store our luggeges outside of the accommadation before check in time, it is a bit unconvinient but fair. The lift of the accommadation is too busy, also one of it out of order. The water pressure in the kitchen is not hogh enough so it is a bit tricky to wash dishes.
• Anna (10/5): A place worth recommending - very nice place not only for a short time. Flat sensationally equipped especially the kitchen, Great location, Landlord very helpful, there was no problem with early check-in, very nice service. I highly recommend this place, We will definitely go back there.
• Angie (9/5): A great place to stay surrounded by great places to visit. - I chose the property as it was easy walking distance to the hospital where my husband was receiving treatment. I liked that the accommodation was clean and comfortable. It was small but provided everything we needed. There was a small kitchen containing oven, hob, kettle, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, fridge freezer and washing machine. Brilliant! Entry details were sent prior to the visit so there was no hassle about check in and check out. Communication between us and the owners/managing agent was excellent. We need to visit the area on a regular basis and hope to be able to book again.
• Jovana (10/5): We spent 10 days in this studio and we are satisfied. It is quiet, ideal for a couple. Clean and everything is as descri -
• Catriona (3/5): Great location, but disappointing stay - - great location - nice, clean space I woke up with several bites from the property. This has not got the safest operating system to access the property, it is just a code. On the evening I stayed the room was double booked and someone tried to enter my room when I was in. Luckily I was in my room or my belongings would have been unattended.
• Maggie (1/5): Place was oversold and horrible like backpackers accommodation - Location was great Bed was very uncomfortable bathroom dirty and didn’t function very well. Bed linen was inadequate for 2 people and we were cold. Towels hopeless and no way of drying them. We actually moved out after one night as we not at all impressed.
• Stephan (5/5): While we enjoyed some things about the flat like the (for us) convenient location and that it was quiet, we found there - Positive: - good location - ⁠clean - ⁠pretty quiet⁠ - ⁠basic ingredients oil, vinegar, salt and pepper present in the kitchen - ⁠seamless check-in procedure Neutral: - mattress is a bit hard, but tastes differ on this Negative: - non-stick pans and pots all have scratches; my understanding is that it’s safer not to use scratched Teflon cookware - ⁠window in the bathroom doesn’t close properly because of the effects temperature and humidity have had on the wood over time - ⁠minor: toilet paper holder is loose; tiles in the bathroom have cracks
• Niama (10/5): Wonderful stay - Staying at South Kensington Studio was fantastic! The convenient location near Harrods and South Kensington Underground Station made exploring London a breeze. The apartment's amenities, including free WiFi, and a washing machine, along with a fully equipped kitchen, enhanced the experience. Its proximity to attractions like the Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Royal Albert Hall was a major plus. Highly recommend for a comfortable and convenient stay in Kensington!
• Emilka (6/5): Pleasant -
• Adrasteia (10/5): Exceptional - Our experience at this well-kept modern apartment was excellent. The clean and calm environment made our stay comfortable. We appreciate the attention to detail and are eager to return. -
• Abe (10/5): Thanks to Ronnie for being very responsive throughout the stay - I recently stayed at this apartment and found it to be quite satisfactory overall. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and nearby amenities such as shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was clean and adequately furnished, providing a comfortable stay. The check-in process was smooth, and Ronnie was very responsive to any inquiries or concerns.
• V (10/5): Exceptional - Nice apartment. It's a small space, but has things you need like a hot shower, microwave, mini fridge, and washing machine. The apartment itself is clean, although the interior of the building is rather dated. Easy check in and out with a code. The building is part hotel, and part private accomodation. Only a few steps, so easy with suitcases. No air conditioning, but good heating for the winter. Supermarket next door, and kings road nearby for shopping. I did see a few cockroaches in the halls.
• Nancy (10/5): Thanks to Ronnie for sharing your comfortable flat with us for 5 nights. - Great location walking distance about 7 minutes from South Kensington underground station. Heated floor in bathroom was a nice surprise. Clean and adequately equipped. The reception staff gave us a bit of invalid info about the 360 bus pickup location. There was a bus route diversion that the reception staff wasn’t aware of so no busses were traveling on Sloane street.
• Mb (8/5): Very good -
• Susanna (10/5): Comfortable, clean and very convenient. Close to transport, shops and restaurants. - Communication with the host was excellent and instructions to enter the property via the door code was easy to follow. Our stay was for 8 nights and all amenities we needed were available. The room was comfortable and clean and location of the property was superb. Close to South Kensington and Sloane Square tube stations and lots of buses. All our requests were met with positive responses so there was nothing we didn’t like.
• Khatia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helena (3/5): Organization very poor and unsafe appartment. - Room wasn't ready by 6pm, cleaner was still in the appartment. Later in the evening a man from maintenance also came to see the room. After midnight someone tried to enter my room.
• Anonymous (8/5): Really good value for money. - Great location, easy access to property due to efficient messages from owner. Comfortable, clean. No full length mirror, could do with better bathroom lighting.
• Patrycja (10/5): I had a great stay and I will definitely stay there again when in London. - Great apartment. Very clean and well maintained. There’s everything you need in the kitchen including washing machine, microwave, coffee maker, oven. Heated floor in the bathroom, lovely shower with hot water, toiletries supplied. Sainsbury’s just around the corner, great choice of places around where you can grab breakfast or dinner. Not far from the underground. Location is a big advantage. Self-check in, great contact with the host. Wi-if, lift. The bed is comfortable, the apartment’s really warm. Great value for what and where you’re getting. Highly recommend.
• Mátyás (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chaloemphon (7/5): Good -
• Jesse (9/5): Awesome location, would recommend for solo travelers or couples - Great location, the apartment was clean and had everything I needed. Excellent communication getting into the place. It was a hot week in London when I stayed and place does not have aircon, only a single fan.
• Bianca (9/5): Great location, easy check in, clean little apartment with everything you need. Enjoyed the stay! -
• Asoss (9/5): The very good place and comfort small Appartment make your staying in London a pleasant - Very nice Feeling just like your home The internet
• Kim (7/5): Good for one night, if you are very comfortable with each other - Nice location good facilities in the kitchen Bed was horrible. The bathroom smelled. In the shower there was only freezing cold or boiling hot. Chairs were not comfortable
• Consuelo (10/5): Excellent - It had everything I needed. Kitchen, refrigerator. Comfortable. The curtains were not very good
• Zedralyn (9/5): Superb -
• Margarida (8/5): Very good - Really good location, nice staff, good facilities in the apartment The bed was small and uncorfortable.
• Zakaria (7/5): Good -
• Felicitas (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the apartment. Very clean! Absolutely perfect for your stay in London. Many restaurants close by and a chanel store only 100 meters away- can’t be a bad neighbourhood obviously. Walking distance to Harrods. Bed is absolutely perfect for a couple but a bit small for sharing with a friend.
• Julie (5/5): Passable -
• Elizabeth (7/5): Good - Good location
• Rayane (7/5): Small undisruptive flaws for the price, good value. - You can find everything you need in the kitchen (microwave, plates, cutlery, oven, freezer, wine glasses etc…). self check in is very easy to do and the host is communicative. The shower cabin’s door was broken and it’s quite tricky to close the windows. The bed is somehow tight for two people; I don’t think it can accommodate if you’re not a couple.
• Hamish (4/5): Disappointing -
• Kevin (8/5): Very good - The appartement is perfectly located in London and the area is really nice and safe. The host is really aware and helpfull. maybe missing a bit of equipment (like glasses or curtelery). Also the shower needs to be fixed a bit.
• Davorin (8/5): Very good -
