Guest Reviews

• Valeriano (8/5): - good value for money
• Лилия (10/5): -
• Brian (4/5): Super go beliggenhed, men lejligheden er meget slidt - Det lå super godt, ud over meget larm fra gaden om natten.
• Davide B (7/5): -
• Garner (2/5): Poor quality flat -
• Ralitsa (8/5): Great! - Everything was great! The flat is nice, there's everything you would need- oven, washing machine, fridge. It was clean, equipt with everything such as towels and linen. The location is truly amazing. It's right in the centre
• Jesus Miguel (8/5): -

• POLYCHRONIS-PANAGIOTIS (4/5): Καλή τοποθεσία αλλά αρκετά βρωμικο - Μόνο η τοποθεσία ήταν ικανοποιητική Ηταν βρώμικα. Το φως τρεμοπαίζει, είναι περίεργο το μπάνιο ήταν βρώμικο, τα σεντόνια επίσης, ο καναπές επίσης
• Georgia (4/5): It was not worth the full price at all to be honest - The location was good It wasn’t clean, the lift bulb in the bathroom was flashing and flickering very badly and when communicated we got told to keep the light off in the bathroom. The fridge froze everything.
• Monica - Ioana (1/5): Disgusting and unsafe - Nothing. There were mice inside the room. Actual mice. The place is filthy and completely unfit for guests. The host ignored every phone call and message. Because it was extremely late, I had no other option and was forced to sleep there, but the situation was unacceptable. The elevator was broken, there was no hot water, and the building hallway was dirty and neglected. And then the host added insult to injury by marking my stay as ‘no-show’, even though I was physically there. This is dishonest, irresponsible, and borderline fraudulent. This is the worst properties I’ve ever seen. Avoid it. Booking should remove this listing immediately
• Daniela (7/5): Good stay, very central - Very central, clean and easy access
• Earth777 (10/5): -
• Lizzie Bautro-Moreno (6/5): -
• Claudio (8/5): Buena ubicación mala instalación - El alojamiento está muy bien ubicado en el centro de Londres, tiene metro muy cerca y tiene una gran variedad de restaurantes y unos supermercados por lo cual es muy cómodo para viajar y visitar las zonas más turísticas como Trafalgar Square El baño tenía algo de moho en las paredes porque no había ventilación. El lavabo estaba muy pequeño para poderse lavar la cara y los dientes. La cocina tenía solo una olla y fue complicado cocinar. La cocina no tenía dónde secar los platos por lo cual se mojaba mucho. Sin las ventanas cerradas hace mucho ruido, sobre todo los fin de semanas por ser zona muy concurrida. El ascensor no funcionó correctamente desde el segundo día porque no llegaba a nuestro piso por lo cual tuvimos que bajar de un piso toda nuestra estadía. El personal no ayudó mucho cuando llegamos porque el piso que me habían dado estaba ocupado y si no hubiera sido por el personal de la limpieza que me indicó otro número de teléfono para hablar con el personal, habría estado esperando más tiempo ahí afuera.
• 이 (9/5): - 위치가 가까워서 좋았습니다 시설이 오래되었지만 청결을 유지 했습니다
• Maizatulakmal (8/5): Very good -
• Kathleen (5/5): Passable -
• Tonje (1/5): Do NOT rent this flat, find somewhere better! - Location. It was the ONLY good thing about this shitty flat There was no hot water. Only freezing cold water! The flat was dirty. Like really dirty! All the cups, plates, cutlery was dirty, and only cold water to wash them. It smelled awfull. There was a large hole in the bathroom wall. A lot of mold in the shower and the bathroom. To mention some. Overall bad standard! The staff was hard to get a hold on. After some time they sent someone to fix the hot water, but he couldn’t fix it. Now they are not answering!
• Faisal (1/5): Disaster. I recommend removing this property from booking - There is no warm water in the apartment. The water heater is not working. I had to use the water boiler in the kitchen to warm the water and then use other supplies and be creative to be able to shower. If you book this place, I recommend to go to the nearby gym to shower as there is no warm water to shower. The host doesn't answer the phone.
• Sk (1/5): Hosts ghost you when an issue. Dirty entry and carpets. Lift didn't work. Avoid. - Location is central so excellent for that - but it's in and area with lots of bars and parties and drunk people Nothing. They ghosted me when I tried messaging that the lock box code didn't work. Even booking. Com couldn't reach them. So I was able to enter the building and get to the flat door. The lift to the 4th floor didn't work. The carpets entering and all up the stairs were absolutely disgusting and filthy and it smelled bad. So I can't imagine what inside was like. The hosts didn't reply to me when I tried to reach them. Even though I told them it would be a later checkin. So I was left with no accommodation at 11pm in London. Awful. I have no idea how they are still able to sell this property and how it has good reviews. Probably made up.
• Folorunsho (10/5): Lovely family get away - Room clean and spacious. Nice location. Had everything needed for a family It was a bit hotter than I expected
• Alberto (2/5): Very poor -
• Johanna (8/5): great - No breakfast, locatiin is excellent smell of newly painted walls from the corridor and inside the house
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephanie (5/5): Passable -
• Daniel (7/5): Fanstastic location, but very basic. - Fantastic location. Furniture old, no AC, loud, but everything working. The fantastic location helped.
• Coady (8/5): Great spot, would recommend! - Great location and lots of space! No air conditioning. There were two fans but they weren’t powerful enough. The location made up for it though!
• Renee (6/5): Location good but value for money not met by the standard of upkeep of the apartment. - So very central Things have become quite tacky in this apartment right from the hallways to chipped cupboards, random kitchen ware, dirty windows, no kitchen towels, toiletry holder in shower that collapses, windows that don’t remain open therefore apartment is airless, broken plug behind television. Perhaps when new this was well valued for the location but it looks like the standard has not been keep up.
• Raja (1/5): We couldn’t stay there. We stay for 1 night stay. 3 nights hasn’t refunded as agreed - The house was very very smelly. No ventilation. No cleaning. No proper response The very small room we have ever seen with poor facilities. No one will like this house. Very smelly, dirty., no ventilation, no fan, no aircon, poor customer service, etc….The person in charge agreed to vacate the house with one night stay only and hasn’t refunded for the balance three nights. Keeping calling the person in charge , sending messages. But no avail. Booked through booking.com. Booking.com is not helping us to get the refund.
• Deb (7/5): Good - Very central for where we needed to be. There were a few things that needed updating, but overall it was OK for our one night stay.
• Aaron (5/5): Passable -
• Lui (10/5): One of my favourite stay, absolutely recommend! - The location is absolutely the best, few minutes walk to bus stop, underground and Chinatown. The room is also clean and comfortable, not too loud at night, good for family. There was a slight smell when we first walked in, we opened the window and turned on the fan, then the smell went away very quick, probably come from the toilet drain. Not a big problem at all.
• Thuy (10/5): What a lovely place. Great location, and the flat was very clean. Bed was comfy too. - Perfect location
• Todd (10/5): Lovely Jammy Jam with the Fammy Fam! - Location, cake shop across the road No window supports to keep windows open. Sink in bathroom too low to brush teeth.
• Jonathan (6/5): Good cheap central London apartment - Great location, right in the middle of the city. Apartment is nice, and surprisingly quiet. Big comfy bed. The building is really shabby and smells awful! The room smelled bad for a few hours. I put the fans on and opened the window and it improved. I reported it to the landlord but no response. The lift was also broken, which was okay - but the stairwell smelled of urine. The flat is great - the building is really run down. For the price though, it’s to be expected. I would still stay again.
• Norberto (10/5): Exceptional - Location is good The sink in the bathroom too lower
• Ali̇ (8/5): Very good - Location is the best in London. Room is too small
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Centrally located, great value for money. Communication with the host was a little complicated, there were different phone numbers to reach out to via WhatsApp, only one reacted. This is something that I would suggest simplifying.
• Alexander (10/5): Perfect place as basis to explore London - Amazing location AT the centre of London None
• Andrew (7/5): Good -
• Meelin (9/5): Superb -
• Jamal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicky (9/5): Superb - Location was fantastic Very central A few small maintenance issues that didn't really hinder our stay but reported as I didn't want to be accused of breaking anything
