Guest Reviews

• Zhivko (1/5): There’s bugs everywhere - The location The apartment was full of little bugs that were everywhere. They crawled on us, got into our hair, into our food. It was like a horror movie. My child slept in a chair because he was afraid of being crawled. The sheets were stained with blood. We wrote to the hosts about the problem as soon as we arrived, we called, they answered after 2 days that they were sorry for the inconvenience! It was extremely noisy, hot and stuffy. No windows would open.

• lialll (1/5): ¡Nos salieron chinches de las sábanas! - La única nota positiva que le puedo dar es por la ubicación, ya que es muy céntrica y bien conectada. La primera noche, una vez acostados empezaron a salir chinches de las sábanas y de la almohada, a mi hijo le picaron. Fue una experiencia muy desagradable. Nos tuvimos que buscar un hotel para alojarnos los siguientes días. Lo peor de toda esta experiencia es haber intentando ponernos en contacto con la gerencia para que nos reembolsen por los días que no nos alojamos sin éxito. A día de hoy seguimos esperando respuesta.
• Bryan (1/5): Bed-bug infested with no support to fix from owners. - Great location and nice decor. Can’t get much more central than this flat. Unfortunately, that’s the only positive thing I can say about it. The place was infested with bed bugs - in the couch, the mattress, they seemed to come out of anything soft once you touched it or put weight on it. We had to immediately leave and find alternate accommodations due to low health and safety standards. I messaged both booking.com and the property hosts directly with photo and video evidence and received NO response or assistance to help clear up this situation. It seems they don’t care about the quality of their property or the health and safety of their guests, just money. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
• Noémie (1/5): ATTENTION punaises de lit à déconseiller vivement à éviter . Aucune prise en charge du responsable de cet établissement - ATTENTION punaises de lit A déconseiller vivement , à éviter.. aucune prise en charge du responsable de l’établissement. Nous avons dû quitter les lieux en urgence et nous reloger à nos frais . Inadmissible c’est honteux. ATTENTION punaises de lit à déconseiller vivement à éviter .

• Maria Florencia (1/5): PUNAISE DE LIT - À éviter absolument cet appartement Infestation de punaises de lit Aucun retour de la part de l’hôte État sordide généralisé Poubelle encore présente Linge souillé Toilettes et salle de bain en mauvais état Nous avons dû aller r l’hôpital en raison des réactions provoquées par les piqûres de punaises de lit. JAMAIS DE RÉPONSE DE LA PART DE L'HÔTE. Je ne comprends pas comment Booking accepte ce type de location.
• Thomas (1/5): Punaises de lit ! Aucune réponse du propriétaire, aucune aide de booking. Relogement à nos frais - PUNAISES DE LIT !! Attention, ne prenez surtout pas ce logement, il est infesté de punaises de lit ! Nous avons du quitter en urgence cet appartement car nous nous sommes réveillé avec des punaises de lit autour de nous, les draps pleins de taches de sang et de déjection de punaise de lit. Le propriétaire n'a jamais été joignable (ni par téléphone, ni par message) et nous a totalement abandonné. Notre demande de remboursement, bien que demandé également par le sav de booking, a été refusé par ce propriétaire (d'après booking car comme déjà dit ce propriétaire ne nous a jamais répondu). On notera d'ailleurs l'absence totale d'aide de booking malgré les nombreuses heures au téléphone et les très nombreux messages. Nous avons du nous reloger à nos frais et sans aide.
• Claudia (6/5): - Great location. There was an elevator. Doors were easy to (un)lock. Remote staff was kind and attentive. We could check out 1.5 hours later at no charge. The place is bright with many windows and good curtains. The smart TV works well, and small table was good for breakfast. We didn't use the dishwasher. The place is a bit worn down. The wardrobe is almost falling apart on one side.The fridge has a glass plate missing. There is no coffee machine. There was something in the bed, biting my legs, causing an itchie rash. The place was also a bit dusty (having an allergy for 2 types of dust mite). The bathroom sink is made for tiny people: very small and low, and could use an upgrade, like the kitchen block and wardrobe.
• gonzalez (6/5): - La ubicación Encontramos una cucaracha.
• Makarios (1/5): - Location 1 too noisy especially in the nights untill 04.00 oclock in the morning .it needs special windows not to hear the noice. 2 you couldn't open a window to get at least fresh air from outside. 3 very uncomfortable beds and pillows. 4 only few toilet paper which we run out 5 for a family of 4 not enough space. 6 the apartment is a studio not 1 bedroom apartment that is been advertised in booking.com 7 sometimes we was running out of hot water and we have to wait the hot water to get hot to continue
• Seferovic (1/5): Punaises de lit ! Nous avons immédiatement quitté l’appartement. - Emplacement Punaises de lit
• coralie (1/5): -
• NATACHA (7/5): - Bien situé dans Londres Pas de nettoyage de la vaisselle laissée salle dans le lave vaisselle Pas de papier toilette : nous avons dû en acheter Linge de lit moyennement propre
• HILARY (8/5): - Central to the theatre, great position
• Paulina (8/5): -
• Ron (10/5): -
• Keri (10/5): Perfect for what we needed for our short stay, definitely made a great choice. - The flat was nice, modern and spacious. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Even extra heaters if needed. Clear instructions on how to access the flat. Location was perfect!
• Claudia (7/5): -
• Melinda (10/5): -
• María del Mar (8/5): - Localización Faltaban toallas y papel higiénico
• Ralitsa (1/5): -
• John (3/5): Does not meet basic requirements. - Location We were left with half a toilet roll. Not enough for two adults and one of which was having her menstruation!! Freezing cold as heating was not at all sufficient. Constantly tried to contact for help and never answered the phone, never answered the email. So so difficult to get hold of.
• Meah (10/5): Excellent - Was located in a good place
• Elena (6/5): Posizione eccellente a soli 3 minuti a piedi da Piccadilly, pulizia discreta ma con bisogno di qualche ritocco, tuttavia - Posizione eccellente, a soli 3 minuti a piedi da Piccadilly, comodissima per spostarsi e vivere la città. La pulizia era discreta, ma andrebbero fatti alcuni ritocchi per migliorare l’aspetto generale. Purtroppo l’appartamento presenta anche diverse criticità: le lenzuola erano visibilmente lise, le finestre non ben isolate lasciavano passare molto rumore dall’esterno e l’ambiente risultava piuttosto freddo, con come unico riscaldamento una piccola stufetta insufficiente. Inoltre, il letto matrimoniale era chiaramente sfondato, rendendo il riposo poco confortevole.
• Marian (8/5): Courte séjour entre amies. - L’appartement est très bien situé tout près de beaucoup d’attractions. Très propre avec une bonne isolation du bruit. L’ascenseur était en panne et les trois étages me semblaient fatigants.
• Malena (9/5): Todo muy bien, lo recomiendo mucho - La ubicación excepcional Un poco pequeño para cuatro personas
• Ana (7/5): Great location, other things below average (the state of the apartment, cleanliness, noise…) - The location is perfect! The apartment is in great location, however you can see that that is the reason that the owners do not have to try with updates and the level of cleanliness you would expect otherwise. Also would not recommend if you cannot sleep with noise.
• Marta (7/5): Para salir del paso - La ubicacion La entradas estaba muy sucia y la calefacción que hay es insuficiente para la estancia
• Michelle (10/5): - the view. although the windows need a wash. although the windows need a wash.

• Juani (7/5): Buena ubicación debe cambiar cama. - Ubicación La cama es de muelles e incomoda. Mucho ruido de l calle. La moqueta del pasillo da asco.
• Luana (10/5): Ótima localização e espaço - O local é uma ótima localização, dava pra ir a pé para muitos pontos famosos. Além de ter ótimos locais para comer bem próximo, supermercados famosos e realmente muito bem localizado. Era eu mais três pessoas, achamos o local muito bem equipado, inclusive fizemos comida com os equipamentos da instalação. Não achamos barulhentos, como é um local bem central, realmente era bem movimentado. Fora que o anfitrião sempre nos perguntava se estava tudo muito bem. Nada a reclamar
• Mary (8/5): - Good place comfy and clean. Not sure if it was our GPS but the address given lead us to two different locations none were the actually place but was close down the street
• JULIA ROCIO (8/5): - Ubicacion
• Maxi (4/5): - La ubicación El lavamanos del baño se inundaba y no se podía utilizar.Las camas era muy incómodas,el colchón era un desastre. El apartamento es muy ruidoso y cuesta mucho dormir con tranquilidad.Las ventanas son fijas y no se pueden abrir, no tiene ventilación en el interior.
• Tanja (8/5): - Lage Türen sehr schwer für handycapierte.
• E (10/5): -
• Fernanda (7/5): Bien - Cercana a Restaurantes y supermercado Check out muy temprano
• emily (8/5): -
• Kuznets (1/5): Прошу компенсировать мне все ,сумму назовет мой адвокат , - Я не смог попасть в свой забронированный и оплаченный номер и как написал нам менеджер Букингу в электронном письме что они не могут нас поселить в забронированный нами номер из за накладки в бронировании по вине Букинга и я с женой потерял при этом уйму времени и денег ,из за того что пришлось на такси переехать в другой номер который помог забронировать нам менеджер соседней гостиницы ZL eму огромное спасибо ,а я буду предъявлять претензию Букингу и требовать возмещения вытрат ,а также другого морального и материального ущерба .
• Fanny (9/5): Hemos disfrutado !! - Acogedor , limpio , céntrico. Sentía que me ahogaba , por lo menos nosotros no pudimos abrir ventanas y no circulaba el aire por ningún lado . Los ventiladores ayudaban , pero no es lo mismo al aire natural .
• Alberto Tovar Reinoso (5/5): Muy mejorable - La ubicación Las ventanas no se pueden abrir y la ventilación es imposible, además hizo mucho calor y solo tenía ventiladores. Las tapas de las papeleras, tanto de la cocina como el baño, estaban rotas y no cerraban. El lavabo del baño minúsculo.
• Guylaine (7/5): Appartement sympa - Localisation Nous avons reçu un message de l'établissement pour nous donner la marche à suivre pour prendre possession de notre logement, nous avons bien été accompagnés. J'ai apprécié la localisation de l'appartement; on peut tout faire à pied (le quartier est très animé c'est donc bruyant le soir). Le logement était propre et bien équipé. J'avais lu que certains avaient eu des problèmes avec les fenêtres mais 2 des 3 s'ouvrent en forçant un peu (il y a des doubles fenêtres). Quelques améliorations pour le confort Pas de service de ménage pendant le séjour (poubelle non vidée et fournitures consommables un peu juste). Nous aurions aimé avoir un torchon pour pouvoir essuyer la vaisselle. Le matelas est fatigué, on sent pas mal les ressorts.
• Hannah (8/5): Great location check out should be 11 - Location was great.. Check out is too early Not big enough for 4 people as it was advertised though no bedroom
• anna (9/5): - Centralissimo. Pulito adeguato . Piccolo. Il divano letto per dormirci in due rumoroso la notte ma è da intuire visto che si sta in una delle zone della movida londinese
• Luis (3/5): Bien ubicado pero incómodo y ruidoso - Bien ubicado La cama es incomodisima. No había material de limpieza. Las ventanas están bloqueadas un poco abiertas y entra muchísimo ruido por la noche.
• Stephanie (10/5): -
• King (10/5): Sunderland Wembley weekend - Location is spot on Clean lovely flat 👌 Would book again if needed to visit London Was a bit noisy still at 4 am,but if u want a prime location spot in London this is to be expected Amd we was there the weekend sunderland took over everywhere we go !!
• Moreno Tera (7/5): - Lo mejor la ubicación. La gestión y comunicación ha sido buena, pendientes de la llegada, aviso de claves para las llaves.... Necesita mantenimiento, cuando llegamos aún estaban terminando de limpiar aún sabiendo a la hora que íbamos a llegar, olía como a lejía sucia, eso fue lo peor, porque los dos días que estuvimos tenia ese olor. Las vistas a la calle iluminada son muy bonitas una pena que los cristales estuviesen sucios. Para pasar dos días una familia de 4 no está mal, es muy céntrico
• Fiona (9/5): Super location. - This is a brilliant location. Such a great view across Piccadilly circus. Travelling with 2 adults and 2 children. The apartment had all amenities. The room was really warm, but the temperature across the city was also exceptionally hot so not negative really. There were lots of fans.
• Angela (8/5): Very good - Location was excellent The bed settee was ok but a very firm
• Shrivastava (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bekir (7/5): LOCATION - Location is the heart of London So noisy
• Martin (5/5): too noisy for a comfortable sleep - central location, clean, spacious, well equipped kitchenette lift not working outer window open towards noisy street, no possibility to close as inner window is blocked freezer compartment needs de-icing, completely blocked
• Sarah (5/5): Theatre break - Brilliant location for the Gielgud theatre which was main reason why we chose it. Lift wasn't working on arrival so had to trek up 6 flights of stairs with our bags. It. Was sorted by the 2nd day though. Bed was really soft and low but that might suit some, we prefer a firm mattress
• Christine (5/5): Passable - The flat was good location for theatre. However the noise all night long was awful. Had no sleep which spoilt our day.
• Victoria (8/5): Very good -
• Yuliia (10/5): I really liked it, it's the center of all events, there are pubs and theaters and shops and Chinatown nearby. The ma - Location and friendly service, always have been in touch the shower is straight, without a switch, you need a hair cap, or you will have to get very used to it so that you can shower without washing your hair, if you are for a short period and you are a girl
• Ggabor (10/5): It was great. - Everything was nice and cosy, and it feels like as expected. Nothing
• Nathan (6/5): Corporate run place. You’ll get the corporate treatment. - Our family stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the place was accommodating, the sofa bed was uncomfortably hard. We faced an issue with towels, receiving only three for our family of four, and despite multiple assurances that we were going to get more towels, we never received them. Additionally, the noise at night was quite noticeable, which might be a concern for those needing quiet. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for a peaceful family stay.
• Kaie (10/5): Brilliant location, spacious studio, clean, comfortable, well equipped - Location, lovely room , well equipped, comfortable bed All good
• Karen (8/5): Fabulous would stay again - Had everything we needed even some little extras tea coffee and toiletries etc, very clean and spacious, soft towels. Clean and comfortable. Central location You’re in the centre of a lively city so can be a bit noisy if you’re a light sleeper like me take some ear plugs, didn’t bother my family members who stayed with me.
• Byron (8/5): Very good - Location Dated
• Andrei (6/5): Pleasant - Located in the heart of Piccadilly Circus. As far as locations go, you can't really do better than this apartment. The room was mostly clean, however the bathroom did not quite meet my expectations. There is a shelf above the sink for some reason, which means you have to crouch under it for example if brushing your teeth or washing your face. The drain in the shower was discoloured which I also found slightly off-putting, but worst of all, the rug in front of the shower was FILTHY. I was shocked that I was expected to stand on it barefoot. We ended up casting it aside and using one of the towels instead. Apart from this, the room was fairly comfortable but the bathroom felt like a big let down. While I understand prices in London are crazy, for the money spent I would have liked a bit more comfort!
• Mani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gail (5/5): Passable - Very central to London - location was great. The central heating was not working and it was 1 degree at night time outside. I spoke to the host who said they couldn't help that day but would send someone the next day. I asked for a change of room, extra blankets or an extra portable electric heater (we did have one which took the edge off but that was all) but did not receive anything. We slept with winter clothes on. Nobody came out the second day either and I didn't hear back from management. On top of being cold it was very noisy due to being on main street and Christmas buggies going up and down the road with Christmas music playing.
• Humphrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paula (10/5): Excellent location - The location was excellent, it was clean comfortable, the communication was excellent, the host was in good communication with me No issue
• Moliah (8/5): Very good -
• James (1/5): Noisy, smelly, overpriced. - Central location opposite Apollo Theatre. The bathroom in my apartment had just been painted, with spoiled/old paint, as well as new sealant around the toilet. The stench of vinegar/ammonia was overwhelming. The noise from the street is so loud, because the windows are single glazed. The bed springs were digging into my back, the room stank, and I got 3 hours sleep because of the noise. Not recommended.
• Francois (1/5): Bad - Very noisy area, could not sleep despite ear plugs. No ironing machine in the flat, I was asked to walk through the building myself, the one I found was in a very bad shape and I could not iron my shirt. There was a cooking smell in the flat & you can't open the window to bring fresh air. The plumbing was not ok, water dropping continually from the tap. I don't undertstand why this property is on booking.com, not up to the standards.
• Nicolarozakis (10/5): Exceptional - close to everything , perfect location and right in the middle of Picadilly , between all the theatres and a 3min walk from Leicester square. absollutely great location. would deffs go again. nice and big apartment and comfortable.
• Janet (7/5): Good -
• Nia (10/5): Great location, clean and lovely - It is one of the best places we have stayed in London. I could not believe that we could see the les miserables theatre through the window. It was very clean and everything you needed was there. We walked from paddington (about an hour) to the flat and then walked to the theatre so we saved on buying a ticket for the underground that night. Also Marks and Spencers was very close. We had messages from the owner that explained everything clearly and we found the flat and got in without any problems. Nothing!!
• Sophie (9/5): Really great space in the heart of London’s theatre district. Would highly recommend -
• Akshay (8/5): Very good -
• Micah (10/5): Great place to spend the night, most definitely would book again in the near future. - Great space for two, very clean and all the facilities you would need provided
• Mandeep (9/5): Superb -
• Claire (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ibrahim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carol (9/5): Check out time of 10am is too early I feel -
• Marina (8/5): Very good -
• Charlie (8/5): Amazing location and pretty clean but needs some maintenance issues resolving. - Location amazing. Room spacious. Needs some TLC and maintenance. Bathroom light fitting hanging off ceiling. Shower door missing. Shower head scaled up. Broken drawers. Good facilities but felt unloved
• Jasmin (5/5): Passable - Upon arrival, we were confronted with a highly stressful situation as we were not informed about the procedure to access a key inside a padlock, nor were we provided with instructions on how to open it. Despite multiple attempts to reach out for assistance using the provided contact numbers, all calls went unanswered and were directed to voicemail or was repeated that the phones we were calling had been switched off. After several unsuccessful and anxious attempts to gain access, we were fortunate that a compassionate fellow apartment resident noticed our struggle and assisted us in attempting to open the padlock to reveal a key, which we were not informed about prior, eventually granting us entry. Regrettably, we did not receive any direct communication until three hours later, with a brief message simply inquiring ‘are you in’, with no return of calls. This experience was incredibly distressing and left us feeling stranded and uncertain. I urge you to address this issue promptly to ensure that future residents and guests do not encounter similar challenges. Clear instructions and reliable communication channels are vital to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
• Калуш (10/5): Exceptional - It was a great and enjoyable staying in the very centre of London. Everything was great. -
• Tammy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ivana (8/5): Very good - Location was perfect, self check in process was easy, directions were clear. Cute little apartment Shower door was broken, door on the kitchen cabinets could not be closed, trash bin was broken. It needs small repairs to make it perfect.
• Laura (4/5): Great location good value for money - Great location Some parts were worn and broken
• Paula (7/5): Good -
• Scarlet (9/5): Beautiful apartment set in the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly Circus - Absolutely amazing location and really beautiful apartment, value for money. Lift was a little bit dodgy and no shower door and bin broken but only very minor things.
• Alex (8/5): Very good -
• Ernesto (2/5): Aura doesn't like to work - 1. The heating and refrigerator were not connected and we did not know how to do it, they did not respond to us to tell us how to connect them. 2. The mattress was very uncomfortable and unpleasant, very soft and the springs stuck. 3. The shower screen and the shower are very dirty and full of mold. We attach images. 4. Check out is at 10 a.m. Check in at 3pm. p.m. (5 hours to clean a room) crazy to enter at 3pm in a city where in January at 5pm. p. meter. it's already night. 5. Worst of all, they never responded to us by WhatsApp, by phone, or by the Booking application to resolve these problems, they were very rude and had terrible management.
• Adam (8/5): Nice stay in Piccadilly - Easy to access, great location and comfortable bed. Shower room needs a bit of TLC.
• Anoj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nigel (7/5): Great location but very noisy. - Location was amazing right in the heart of Piccadilly with fully equipped kitchen. Hosts made immediate contact, albeit a number from Pakistan on whatsapp which was a bit odd. Some bits were broken and tatty in the flat and the hallway and staircase is not pleasant. Sound isolation is really bad and as the flat is on one of the busiest streets in London - it left us with a sleepless night.
• Rebecka (8/5): Very nice for a weekend trip! - Very good location int the heart of Piccadilly. Nice bed and a sofa bed. We stayed three persons in the apartment. Good for walking distance to car any street, Oxford street etc. A bit noisy since windows are not that isolated.
