Guest Reviews
- Silvan (5/5): - Hotel bien situé et très bien desservi Trop cher pour la qualité du logement.
- ANTONIO (3/5): Soggiorno da incubo - La posizione e la zona, vicino alla metro. L' appartamento è terribile, la sporcizia (segnalata) regna sovrana, dovevamo stare in 5 in appartenenza ma era praticamente impossibile, il divano letto è sporchissimo e tutto rotto.
La polvere si trova in ogni angolo e per chi è allergico è un problema.
Al nostro arrivo, l' appartamento è stato consegnato non pulito e senza lenzuola, le siamo andati a prendere noi.
Di notte abbiamo trovato scarafaggi sia in bagno che cucina, alla fine le donne che erano con noi sono andate in hotel, il gestore non ha voluto rimborsare nulla e non è stato per nulla collaborativo.
Non esistono comodini ma solo sedie rotte...
Consiglio vivamente di trovare altro per non rovinarvi la vacanza.

- Stephen (4/5): -
- JON MIKEL (4/5): BUENA UBICACION,MEJORABLE LA LIMPIEZA - lo mas valorable de este alojamiento es una ubicación perfecta , cerca de la estacion de tren y metro de Paddington La cocina estaba claramente necesitada de una limpieza en condiciones, las cafeteras muy sucias , restos de cafe, y la vajilla no muy limpia
- Leandro Luis (7/5): - El baño en suite no tenía puerta y el inhodoro se veía directo desde living. Poca intimidad.
- Fran (2/5): - Location Filthy accomodation, cooker / oven unusable as so dirty had to clean microwave before could use Had to clean cups cutlery. Had to ask for a kettle Fridge dirty Whole apartment awful , even after supposed second clean was still filthy
- sebastianferguson (7/5): - La comodidad y la ubicación son excelentes! La heladera tenía olor a podrido y no se podía usar. Pasaba el olor incluso al agua en una botella cerrada
- merce (7/5): - Lavabos y cocina en muy buen estado No se puede cocinar no hay nada para encender el fuego y muy poco menaje de cocina. .
- Firth-Taylor (1/5): - Location Not enough linen supplied on arrival. Took several attempts to receive these. Not enough kitchen cutlery, plates etc. No kitcen supplies, rubbish bags, cloths, teatowels. All cutlery and dishes were dirty had to be washed before use.
Sofa beds did not stay together, dirty.
Heating and water stop working, was fixed but response was too slow.
- Maria Elina (7/5): -
- Francisco Javier (1/5): Poor quality & deficient attention. - Location. Just by Paddington station & Elizabeth line. Heating system not working
Nor blankets, neither towels, in the apartment, at our arrival. Needed to claim for them twice.
Poor staff engagement & knowledge.
After two days of discussions, visits to front desk and waiting our trip time, we got moved to a different/better apartment.
- mouad (10/5): short stay but lovely - clean and modern apartment
located in a great location one minute walk from paddington station
- Nawaf (1/5): متعبه وبارده - الصراحه المكان مو كويس فقط اللي كويس في المكان اللي خدمونا احمد وزميله العربي بارده جداً السخانات ماتشتغل كويس كلمتهم كثير لكن ماتغير شي , الدرج ضيق مستحيل يمر فيه 2 ، الكنبه تبع النوم متعبه جداً الصراحه على سعرها ماتستاهل ابداً
- Paolo (3/5): -
- Demetrios (7/5): - Άνετοι χώροι , πολύ ζεστό σπίτι Δεν ήταν πολύ καθαρό , δεν υπήρχε καθαριότητα καθημερινή , πολύ φασαρία από τον δρόμο
- Paolo (8/5): Casa confortevole in una zona non troppo centrale ma tranquilla e ben servita da mezzi pubblici. -
- Marta (7/5): -
- Biancamaria (7/5): -
- Marcin (6/5): - Lokalizacja owady, pleśń w ekspresie kawowym i wilgoć w łazience
- Shirley (5/5): Incomoda, con buena localización - La ubicación, aunque comentaron que eran unos pocos escalones y estábamos en un subsuelo uno de los baños no tenía puerta, está bien para parejas pero grupos de amigos complicado. La cocina era una mezcla de tipos de losa platos, no había con que lavar la losa, secar los platos. El sofá cama no sirve para dormir extremadamente duro, dormir sobre tablones, no deberían ofrecerlo como para 6 personas, solo cuatro duermen cómodas, no tenían Netflix, Disney o Amazon Prime, lo bueno la locación y la lavarropas
- Edwin (7/5): Ok - Close to PADDINGTON Station Lack of air circulation. Basement apartment no real windows.
- Jose (8/5): Perfectly located - We liked the location: while we knew it was well-located (this was the main reason we chose the place in the first place), we really enjoyed the accessibility of all public transport that London has to offer.
The area itself is lovely with character and so typical. Nothing obvious comes to mind.

- matteo (6/5): -
- Sándor (7/5): - PINCELAKÁS - nem volt feltüntetve ! Nem volt utcára nyíló ablaka.
- Luca (4/5): Posizione fantastica ma chiedete bene prima di prenotare. - Appartamento in posizione fantastica per raggiungere il centro di Londra, ottimamente collegato col bus 36 e la metropolitana Elisabeth Line e Circle Line.
Quartiere vivace e animato, con ampie disponibilità per lo shopping e per fare la spesa.
Gestori estremamente disponibili a venirci incontro per le nostre esigenze. All'arrivo abbiamo scoperto con delusione che - senza che fosse menzionato nella descrizione dell'appartamento né nella conferma di prenotazione - l'unità abitativa era collocata nel piano interrato: la descrizione infatti parlava di "Terrazza • Vista giardino". Quale conseguenza, dalle finestrature arrivava ogni genere di sporcizia dal soprastante marciapiedi (peli di cane, bicchieri di carta, mozziconi di sigaretta), e l'ambientazione interna risultava buia.Chi ci ha accolti ha ripetuto più volte che l'appartamento corrispondeva alle foto, mentre, invece, le sedie erano differenti (solo tre di uguale modello mentre due erano pieghevoli, il piano cottura non ad induzione ma con piastre elettriche).
Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato la cucina sporca, priva dei prodotti per le pulizie che comparivano in descrizione, e la dotazione era carente: abbiamo dovuto richiedere più volte sostituzioni di pentolame e integrazioni di stoviglie perchè vecchie o insufficienti (presenti solo calici e bicchieri XXL da birra) e integrazione di detersivi. Il microonde era sporco. Non abbiamo usato il forno nè il tostapane perchè sporchissimi, unti ed arrugginiti ed anche parte della dotazione delle stoviglie presentava ruggine. L'aspirapolvere non funzionava: abbiamo dovuto chiederne la sistemazione. La biancheria da letto e asciugamani, sebbene pulita, presentava capelli all'interno delle trame del cotone e batuffoli di polvere tra i cuscini. Il bagnetto in una camera era privo di attaccapanni. Entrambi gli scaldasalviette erano ricoperti di polvere che abbiamo dovuto pulire poichè unico punto dove appendere gli asciugamani. Il tavolo era di difficile spostamento poichè aveva una gamba rotta, non collegata col ripiano in vetro.

- Marit Sollie (8/5): Beliggenheten er super! - Sentralt, nært buss, undergrunnsbane og tog. Nært Paddington stasjon. Enkelt å reise rundt. To soverom og to bad er perfekt. Fint med skap på et av soverommene. Nært til matbutikk- er. Gode senger. Kjellerleilighet, ikke opplyst i annonsen. Sofa i stua er for lita. Lite utstyr på kjøkkenet. Burde være nok til 6 personer. Det kunne vært noe utstyr for oppvask på kjøkken og for å vaske/ tørke opp på gulv. Det kunne vært mulighet for å henge opp klær på begge soverommene.
- Aneta (10/5): -
- Görkem (7/5): Good -
- Linda (5/5): A comfortable place but very bland and needs a bit of an update to the facilities - Good location and quite clean. When I reported an issue with the WiFi someone came to fix it quickly. Glad I saw where the router was so I could fix by myself when it went again. Needs some care and repair - not enough cutlery for 3 (e.g. only one knife), shower bracket broken so can only be used as a handheld shower, oven could do with a clean. When I arrived the place stank of bleach (not a bad thing as the cleaners had just left), The sofa bed was very damp - I assume that was due to cleaning. However I could not sit on it the first night (and I was there in a heatwave)
- Jay (9/5): Definitely stay again. - Location is perfect. Gets noisy outside from about 7am, but stayed for work so was already awake.
- Lee (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was spacious and clean. The location was excellent. I was working in Oxford Street and it was ideal for travelling in. Lots of shops, bars and places to eat. Plus lots of places to see around the area. Can be a little noisy from the people above and from the street outside but it wasn't a major issue. Would book again as the location was great.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ananthida (9/5): Superb - Good staff very kind and fast reply Good location easy for everything
- Alison (5/5): Passable -
- Ananthida (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fahmi (10/5): Strategic location - Very near to Paddington Station, bus stop and near halal shop Basement. But overall superb
- Sana (8/5): Very good -
- Fatma (8/5): Good location - location of the room is very goodin the flat ,bathroom is seperate from living room which is perfect The door of the apartment is wooden, very simple. The repairman knocked on the door while we were in the room, we didn't hear him and he came in suddenly, we were suprised.however nothing bad things happened while staying🙏
- Hakim (8/5): Very good -
- Gardener (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shanice (9/5): Superb -
- Caro (9/5): It was a great place to stay. Very comfy and secure. You have bus stations near to you and a lot of markets and restaura - The location, you have everything near. Nothing.
- Georgios (7/5): Good - Location Not comfortable beds
External door not locking
Refrigerator has a smell
Could be cheaper for this quality
- Vibhor (8/5): Very good -
- Anne (8/5): Very good - I loved having my washing machine and a nice studio of my own. The location was nice (close to the tubes and trains). Nice location, but it comes with lots of noise and vibrations of the undergrounds. However, with ear plugs, it was fine.
The curtains were very bad, and the room was bright at night.
- Tim (4/5): Helpful host but disappointed overall - Host was great, responsive and friendly.
Bed was comfortable.
This type of property is what it is, London is expensive and these places are relatively cheap. Don't expect new furnishings and close attention to detail. It's somewhere to sleep that's it.
If you're on a budget and want to be close to central London this property is a good option. The flat had a strong smell of stale cigarette smoke. From the hosts perspective there's not much you can do if someone smokes in your rooms but for the next guest this can be unpleasant.
The furnishings were old and many damaged. Oven and other kitchen appliances were not clean.
- Sompob (10/5): Exceptional - Near Paddington station, very convenient.
- Shakib (10/5): Staff were soo polite despite the time I came they still delivered the service I wanted. Would definitely recommend :) -
- Misoon (6/5): Pleasant - The property well located near to bus station, underground and delicious restaurants
The staff are friendly and helpful they let us check in early. The property was in the underground which you’re heared every step from the street ( very noisy) , also didn’t has an air conditioner .
The sofabed was broken and not comfortable at all
The below was horrible beeded to be replaced
- Giarita (8/5): Very good - Perfect position close to the underground station of Paddington where you can take the circle or district lines for the major London attractions. The neighbourhood is full of nice places for breakfast, lunch/dinner or just to drink something. Nothing
- Joseph (6/5): Enjoyed London and the property served its purpose. - Had all the amenities we desired and good location for getting around the city. The apartment wasn’t cleaned very well prior to arrival. Couch need to be replaced and TV in bedroom didn’t work.
- Petrina (7/5): Comfortable Stay near Padding Station - Location: 5 mins walk from Paddington Station.
Kitchen: Have everything we needed to cook or heat up our food. No microwave, no issue, stove and pan works great for us! Good washer-dryer machine and foldable clothes airer.
Staff: Helpful to guide and assist us with our luggage. Carrying our luggages and bags up and down the small staircase to the 2nd floor. We played our favorite Youtube music from the TV to drown out the Tube and ambulance noise (apartment is next to hospital). No bathroom floor mat. Wifi speed can be improved.
- Rohit (7/5): Good - Convenient location close to travel options Too much noise in the house from the street. Looks different from photos
- Jorge (3/5): It is an uncomfortable place which is not worth the trouble. - Paddington is a convenient location within London.
The temperature in the property was adequate. Many appliances were defective or broken
Windows that could not close properly
Chairs which are broken
The place is extremely noisy
The whole place vibrates when trains and tube come into the stations
It is very hard to bring suitcases up narrow stairs with no elevator
There were no amenities. Not even some salt or oil for cooking.
There is plenty of antisocial behavior in the neighborhood, including drug dealing.
- Maan (3/5): Poor - Good location So difficult to contact them, the dish washer and the Washing machine doesn’t work, after 3 days someone came to solve the problem.there’s nothing to clean the appartement( vacuum cleaner or any cleaning material). Internet was too bad.
- Abdulrahman (8/5): Very good -
- Merrin (1/5): Apartment. 7 - Very dirty pillows under the pillow cases. 1, chair broken. Dirty plates very dirty floors, very dirty cutlery, I will be asking for compensation for this. All the apartment was disgusting. Paid over £400 for a dirty apartment. There was no windows, are air-conditioning in the full apartment, it was not safe to sleep with front door open.
Also I booked weeks back a different apartment at shawdick place, I noticed the apartment was cancelled. And weeks ago we already booked are train tickets, and thay would not refund bk, so on the last minute, we had to book another apartment, also tv would not work, then thay said thay send someone round, then no volume on tv, then again tv would not work, then only had 5 channels would work. In the other bedroom, no wardrobe and no tv in bedroom. Me and my partner and her parents go Southport alot, London was my first family holiday in over 11years. And booking.com as spoiled it all for us. Very unhappy. Plus in the bedroom with no tv there was blood on the wall. All walls very dirty. Plus cobwebs. This is not COVID STANDERED !!!!!!! I will be looking for compensation are a re,fund. I would not recommend this to anyone.
- Miguel (8/5): At the beginning we were worried about the apartment. Some negative opinions and the reception and luggage storage reall - Large apartment for a 5 of family. It was very clean There is no microwave
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julian (10/5): Exceptional - I recently stayed in this apartment, and it was a fantastic experience. Everything is brand new, and the place is well-maintained. The location is great, with excellent transportation options and a variety of bars nearby. The apartment is spacious, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, offering flexibility with schedules and providing assistance when needed. I highly recommend this apartment for a hassle-free and enjoyable stay.
- Megan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ike (7/5): Good apartment. - Great location. Good apartment. The staircase was steep and narrow, though that seems the case in the area.
- Pena (7/5): Good - Perfect location. Is possible walking to a lot of touristic points; The kitchen and the refrigerator were not clean.
- Talib (7/5): Love the location and the kitchen. - Convince to get around, buses and tube nearby, easy to get halal food. Washer machine are not fixed when we need to use it, also there broken chair, to get into the property need to climb down the stairs which is challenging for seniors and luggage.
- Rodrigo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Obioma (9/5): Beyond my expectations. I was pleasantly impressed - Neat and well equipped Absence of a microwave oven
- Sean (7/5): Great location, good value - Great location near Paddington Station. Easy check-in. Staff was nice. Kitchen had pots and pans and glasses. Very minimal amenities. Two bath towels, no hand towels, no floor towel. A water boiler but no tea :/ Water heater was not on, so we had to figure that out... Furniture was dirty and sofa bed (futon) was very uncomfortable.
- Luisa (10/5): A very well located and very comfortable place for short stays. -
- Bernard (9/5): Superb -
- Mshangukin (9/5): It was a spacious, comfortable basement apartment in a great location. - They allowed us to drop our luggage off ahead of time and the people running the desk were very nice. The apartment was big, With two bedrooms and a pull oullout couch in the living room area. There was also two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and It was all very comfortable and nice. I liked most everything, but there did seem to be an issue with the electricity if you try to use the dryer. It flipped the breaker, and I didn’t know where the reset was, so we didn’t have power in half of the apartment Until the next day. The workers tried to help me though and were very nice and accommodating. I do think it would be nice if they had dish soap for the kitchen.
- Laurie (6/5): Clean but basic - Clean, convenient location, Very basic, only beds in rooms, nothing else eg. no bedside tables, no lamps, nothing in kitchen, no tea, coffee, milk etc.
- Ping (3/5): Poor -
- Thiago (8/5): I highly recommend - Yes I did It’s a big flat, nice location and excellent communication
- Damien (8/5): Very good -
- Wafa (1/5): Bad - I did not like the creativity. I asked for three rooms, but I was disappointed. I booked only 2 rooms, and I wanted three rooms. I did not like the creativity. I asked for three rooms, but I was disappointed. I booked only 2 rooms, and I wanted three rooms.
- Thompson (6/5): Pleasant - We stay in the 2nd floor for 4 nights thence request us to transfer to 1st floor , the 2nd floor is fine. The 1st floor,it is very noise that can hear the underground tube go through until they stop service after midnight, the washing machine does not function
- Caryl (8/5): Convenient location, can be noisy but overall would recommend - Week laid out, spacious for central London, well equipped and good level of finishing The Wifi was unreliable and the signal was weak when we had it. We also had emailed the property manager early in our stay and we had not received a response by the time we left. The tool to open and close the upper sash windows was not provided and the the noise from the tube line was very loud. The sofa only sleeps one adult.
- Marvyc (9/5): Superb - We were able to check-in before the time, and the staff was really helpful. The washing machine was pretty useful. Some of the outlets have usb ports, so you can charge your devices without an adapter. There's no door between the master bedroom and its ensuite bathroom. The beds could be comfier.
- Ornella (6/5): Pleasant - The WiFi didn't work. There wasn't a terrace as advertised. We requested a bulb for our room as it didn't have one and we only got it days later. We couldn't check in earlier unfortunately.
- Colin (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (6/5): Pleasant - Too noisy - in the vicinity of a railway and a Hospital + the windows from the bedroom was broke and didn't close tight.
- Larry (1/5): Paddington is the perfect location to explore London, however! For similar money we could have stayed in the Paddington - The location The property is old and un-kept, it’s a typical “ikea” rental, everything from beds to bed linen is the cheapest of the cheap.
Attached are pictures, broken blinds, broken cooling fan(as the flat is on the top floor it’s like a sauna) broken electrical socket, oven dirty with no oven trays
Opening the windows whilst an option is in direct line with a fish and chip shop!! You can only okay the smell.
- Kevin (7/5): Good -
- Doug (7/5): Good - Modern and clean Wifi very poor- had to reconnect every few minutes
TV hopeless - no instructions and unable to use at all
Light bulb not working in tall lamp by couch
- Allison (7/5): Apartment good, stairs v. bad - Location near Paddington and its facilities was great. Apartment was very good. Three flights of very steep stairs. Would not have booked if I had known.
- David (7/5): Good -
- Bruce (8/5): Very good - Location Very poor internet. Less than 10mps and continually drops out.
- Alex-aus (1/5): Bad - Nothing, the property Manager didn't help at all. They scam people with this business. Do not believe the photos of the ad.
The facilities are not clean, the appliances don't work, they don't provide shower gel or shampoo.
They don't respond to messages or calls. It's a total mess.
The place is very noisy because the ambulance is 24/7 entering the hospital, just next to the apartment.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. Be careful, it's a fraud!
- Prasetyadi (7/5): Good -
- Tanzin (7/5): Good -
- Paula (6/5): Great location - safe and close to shops and restaurants. strongly worth consideration when planning your travels. - Brilliant location within east walking distance to Paddington station - on the airport line and quite a few other underground lines. Below ground so no natural sun. The kitchen was very poorly equipped with cooking utensils and no wine glasses, bowl for food, TV didn’t work and no remote. credit to the staff they responded within 12 hrs and did provide some assistance.
