Guest Reviews

- Ola (8/5): -
- Vladas (2/5): A poor and uncomofortable stay - The room was very poorly maintained. Everything was damaged, scratched, or broken. The photos in the page where also edited, the rooms aren’t as spacious as it’s shown. In the bathroom, there was a strong smell of mold, and visible mold could also be seen.
The service was terrible as well. When we arrived, we found a broken door handle and informed the staff immediately. We then had to wait about 2 hours for someone to come and fix it, which meant we could not leave anywhere during that time.
When the first technician arrived, he was unable to fix the problem. Instead, he made things worse by taking everything apart and still not repairing it. He told us that another technician would arrive in 15 minutes, but in reality, we had to wait almost an hour and a half.
During all that time, we could not go anywhere because the door could not be opened properly without the code box mechanism. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

- Knee (1/5): Boring, no wifi - I liked how the property owner ignored all my questions No WiFi, but advertised WiFi.
There's no wifi
- Magdalena (5/5): -

- Alicia (7/5): -
- Darek (10/5): -
- AMOS (3/5): - Six nights of not cleaning. Request turn off Not good.
- Alan (5/5): Adequate at best - The price seemed good if the pictures were to be believed but just ok for what we got.
Issue with a missing towel was resolved quickly.
Bed was firm but comfortable. Room had cobwebs, extremely run down compared to the pictures, neighbours able to peer straight into our window, noted as self catering but only provided a kettle and no potable water (bathroom sink only).
Other guest we spoke to had the kitchen of the apartment but was blocked off and not for use.
Would be better to rent out the whole apartment for more money in my opinion…
- Anuj (6/5): -
- Andrii (8/5): - Great location (close to train station and restaurants), the room is nice - no issues.
- Njie (6/5): -
- Mahdia (10/5): - Is perfect Is perfect
- Matthew (8/5): - Room was clean, although a little run down, furniture was a bit hodgepodge, but all functional and comfy.
Location was great for the O2 Room had a kitchen that was boarded off, from what we could tell this was functional but just seperated for no obvious reason. Having this would have been great, but there was.no harm in not having it.
- Barry (7/5): The stay was good and very quite place. - The room was very large and have a large sofa. The instruction for the self checking was not so clear, I had to spend for about an hour. I would suggest to give more details for the self checking.
- Osama (9/5): -
- Mandlamahle (7/5): Ok until the end because of the cleaner - The room was spacious and clean...really good value The cleaner who came to clean on 29/03/2026 was very unfriendly and unaccommodative. She came into the room when I was still inside and it was very difficult to talk to her because she did not even try to understand what I was saying to her. She had this very unfriendly attitude. It is unfortunate because everything was well until this last issue, which unfortunately was the last event, which means that this is the last thing that i will remember about my stay.
- Vladimir (9/5): -
- Onno Bloemers (8/5): -
- Manara (5/5): Faffing around with too many codes is not idea but the place is clean and satisfactory for a night or two - Did the job for the night as only needed to sleep. The check-in process was unnecessarily complicated, involving multiple steps and three separate access codes. Arriving late at night, this was stressful and far from ideal. On top of that, the location was difficult to find—number 63 is on the complete opposite side of number 62, rather than nearby as you would reasonably expect, which made the whole experience even more frustrating.
- Sally (8/5): Great value for money. Bathroom was clean but room could have been a tad cleaner. Would stay again! - The location for O2 was fab. Early access to the property. We asked for more pillows upon arrival but wasn’t provided any. Not enough tea or coffee for 3 nights. Previous guests dirty sock left under bed.
- Mohammed (9/5): -
- Sami (5/5): Fine for a night or two - don’t expect a peaceful sleep. - Location (once we found it) The picture in the advertisement is not the block of flats.. it’s at the opposite end of the little estate. When booking this room I wasn’t aware it was sharing a bathroom with potentially 3 other rooms.
I felt I was always queuing to use the toilet. There is no such thing as sound-proofing.. the walls are just stud walls.
You can hear people talking/walking around.
There are no door handles which makes closing the door impossible without creating a noise.
Having to fill up the kettle via the bathroom sink was not hygienic as there is no other water supply.
After telling the owner another guest had gone into labour and her waters had broke in the room/bed I was very disturbed that the cleaner was in & out very quickly changing the bed ready for the next booking. The mattress was NOT cleaned 🫣
- daniel (2/5): - The location close to the train station and shops is good. The television was not working, and when a call was made to the staff, the response was very dismissive and a bit rude. They couldn't come the next day to fix it until they were chased. There is no kitchen, and a need for water seems unhygienic as one had to go to the toilet, which was used by 4 people.
- Emmanuel (10/5): Awesome - Serene environment The bed wasn’t strong enough I guess it’s bcoz of the string buh it’s good
- chu (10/5): - Exceptional
- Pauline (8/5): Very good for our short trip. Would stay again - Very convenient for us as close to family for visits. And close enough to Greenwich Clean and very good shower Front door no longer locks. Pillows are like bags of set cement - solid!
- Husnain (10/5): - Its clean and tidy. Sure will come back
- Yiibari Kate (1/5): RATED THE WORST STAY - Zero!!! This is by far the worst property I have ever booked in London. Avoid this place at all costs.
My Louis Vuitton bag was stolen after my belongings were left outside the apartment, and when I reported it, the staff told me there was “nothing they could do.” Zero accountability. Zero care.
The curtains look like they haven’t been washed in years. The beds are uncomfortable and the entire place feels dirty and neglected. The first room they gave me smelled strongly of cigarettes. The second room was just as bad — old, worn out, and poorly maintained.
The shared bathroom was messy and unhygienic. The entire property looks tired and uncared for.
The staff are unbelievably rude and dismissive, they even hang up the phone before you finish speaking.
If you value comfort, cleanliness, or basic customer service, do not book this place. This was a terrible experience from start to finish.
- Michael (2/5): Satisfied with.the location but unhappy wity the stay. - Wonderful location..... but the room could have been cleaned properly and more decent. The entire room a d furniture could have been more comfortable 😩 especially the bed. To short and the mattress was very uncomfortable 😕 until as a result it hurt my back. The location was perfect.
- Matthew (9/5): -
- Davies (1/5): - Nothing the place don't look like in pictures other guest playing loud music and bathroom very un clean as for my.money back as go booking .com the lady made out that was lieung smell of wee and smoke found drugs in the bathroom and reported Didn't like it at all

Environment
Decor People sharing front doors letting in people who they don't know
- Martin (5/5): -
- Georgette (7/5): Okay. - Close to the O2 arena
Hot shower Our room was quite rundown, it was certainly not the same from photograph that’s used on this website, perhaps we just drew the worst luck. Scratched walls, not decorated, etc.
Early checkout at 10am also had all the rooms scrambling in a queue for the shared bathroom.
- Elle (1/5): -
- Ioannis (7/5): - Το πρώτο βράδυ που έμεινα υπήρχε κάποιος στο διπλανό δωμάτιο που μιλούσε ασταμάτητα δυνατά, χτυπούσε τις πόρτες και την τουαλέτα την άφησε τόσο βρώμική που δεν μπορώ να το περιγράψω. Την επόμενη ημέρα το πρωί τα ίδια. Πήγα στην τουαλέτα και ήταν όλα βουλωμένα και σε άθλια κατάσταση.
- Sam (7/5): Good value for money and good place to stay - The place was convenient and clean
- Ane (7/5): -
- Rodriquez (10/5): Kitchen kept locked for no reason. This is wrong. - All No access to hot food
- Léo (7/5): - Bon rapport qualité prix, quartier calme et facile d’accès.
Chambre simple suffisante et propre pour se reposer après des kilomètres et des kilomètres de marche dans Londres .
Salle de bain commune propre et pratique.
À 5 minutes en Uber/Taxi de la station North Greenwich qui donne un accès aux lignes de métro vers le centre .
À une quinzaine de minutes en bus.
- Clem (10/5): A good place. Home away from home. - Everything. Nil
- Samuel (7/5): -
- alice (8/5): -
- Sheik Salima (6/5): - Everything was clean and decent. It was a room within a house. No other guests so didn't need to share bathroom. Good location with shops for food, clothing and anything else were within walking distance.
Picture above was not the room that we had. The cleaner was very loud talking on the phone and loud whilst cleaning.
- Recep (2/5): Hiç yardımcı olmuyorlar - Beş para etmez Hiç güzel ve temız degıl
- Makowski (10/5): - Very comfy
- Marta (1/5): Worst experience ever - Nothing to be honest The main door building were open meaning anybody could walk in and out we were scared our luggage and belongings will disappear, on the top of it rooms don’t look like on photos at all. We checked in and stayed only 1 h after we left and host has reported us that we didn’t even show up at property and didn’t want to refund money nor for full stay , not even answering messages. Nasty people managing it don’t recommend.
- Edward (1/5): Jot worth the money - Nothing Not like in pictures and not up to cleanliness standard
- Giraldo (10/5): Es la segunda vez que me quedo allí, y todo excepcional lo recomendaría muchas veces! - Muy limpio, sin mucho inconveniente a la hora del check in
- Shona (10/5): -
- Antônio (10/5): - Lugar bem confortável e limpo. Recomendo
- ZAFER MUSTAFA (1/5): Boşa harcama - Ör ter ak WC ve banyo olması çok çok kötü
- Eilidh (6/5): -
- Dace (6/5): - Location was good for going to O2.
Decent place to spend few nights.
Bathroom was very spacious. Rock hard pillows.
Lots of dust.
Very noisy from hallway.
A lot of different codes to get inside.
Not possible to leave luggage.
Would have been nice with extra smaller towel for hands.
- Monica (7/5): - It’s relatively close to the train station and other bus stops. I liked that it was quiet, and the bed was super comfortable. The TV didn’t work, the balcony couldn’t be opened to air out the room, and I did not find any hairdryer.
- Drishya (10/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Long enough, but fantastic - Everything Nothing
- Lloyd (9/5): -
- Alessandro (6/5): -
- Giraldo (10/5): Muy bueno - Muy amplio, limpio y cómodo! Ay algunos huéspedes que eran un poco ruidosos :(
- Craig (7/5): Comfortable, basic but good value for money on a quiet street. Close to railway station. - Comfortable and good value for money. Short walk to the railway station which was handy. Generally comfortable and clean. Basic, but perfect for the needs of my work trip. The location on the map was slightly different than the actual location, but the instructions were clear.
- Michal (2/5): Nespokojen - Nic Společná koupelna špinavá. Nepřijěmý pan z pokoje 1 .Dělal nepořádek v koupelně tak dělal
hluk. Obtěžoval naše soukromi !!!!!
- Lucinda (7/5): Enjoyable - Okay place nice and quiet The shared bathroom
- Shahid (7/5): - It was nice and quiet place. Neighbors voices, screaming, loudness.

- Anna (6/5): -
- Kitty ODonoghue (9/5): -
- Le Moign Johan (8/5): - Les chambres étaient propres et bien équipées. Une des chambres était spacieuse. La salle de bain était moyennement propre et une des 2 fenêtres de la chambre avait du mal à s'ouvrir
- MARIA (4/5): Nada recomendable. No volvería. - Nada en particular Ubicación lejos de medios de transporte. Barrio sin servicios y que impresiona peligroso por la noche. Sucio. Cama y almohadas incomodisimas. Caluroso. Muy caro para lo que ofrece
- dsvermanift (6/5): It's okay. - Location is okay but googlemap doesn't take to the property precisely. Since it was all self check in, I faced too much of difficulties to enter the premise as the lock of main gate was not functioning properly as in it was not opening due to some problems in the keys and lock.
And I did not have an information or idea that there is one more door behind. I had to struggle for half an hour to enter the room.
- Aitana Del Carmen (6/5): Agradable y tranquila - La localización súper cerca de metro y autobús y al lado del o2. Zona residencial muy tranquila no se escuchaba ni un ruido súper agradable la cama fue bastante cómoda La limpieza no era la mejor. 3 habitaciones compartían un baño y como no había cocina necesitabas siempre algo por fortuna nos acomodamos muy bien con la gente del resto de habitaciones y no fue demasiado incómodo. No hay nevera ni cocina pero si un calentador de agua para te o café
- Macdonald (9/5): Fun times - I liked that it was close to the o2 and I also liked that I was able to walk places from the different places I went It could've been cleaner i noticed a dead bug just by the headboard on the wall but eh could be worse
