Guest Reviews

• Baljit (4/5): Great location, advise for the cleaner to do a better job. Shower wasn’t great. - The location and the layout The balcony was lovely The check in was organised. 1. The bed and freezer door were broken in the property 2. The flat wasn’t cleaned and the dishes needed to be re washed and cleaned when used. 3. The owner contacted me re the bed after the stay. 4 flat was dusty I know it’s London but would expect it to be clean.
• Kayleigh (3/5): Total crap - The balcony was nice to look out off Well where do I start, supposed to have a sofa bed but there wasn’t, they said it had a luxury air bed instead and even the air bed had a patch on it and went down within 30minutes, the laminate floor boards were moving and unlock from each other, the trims around the whole skirting boards were all coming away, holes in the bedroom doors, shower didn’t work in the on suite, no curtains, dirty sauce pans and cups, bedroom draws were missing the bottom out of it and the other draws had mould inside of them, stain on the pillow, over all we wasn’t happy in the slightest and will not visit it again, I don’t believe this should be on the booking.com site as a toddler could do a better job of the property, avoid this place
• MartinaSev (5/5): Apartment review - Position and size of the flat. All the towels were stored half wet in drawers, which meant that on arrival we couldn't use them and had to hang them to dry. No toiletries were provided: instead, we found all the toiletries bottles empty in the storeroom. There was only about half an inch of hand soap provided for the 2 bathrooms (the other bottle was completely empty). Pillow covers smelt really musty, and one of the sets had a visible yellow stain patch on it. It appeared the heaters were working only in 1 room. In the second bedroom, the heater was actually pulled off the wall and placed on the floor..
• Aleksandra (3/5): - Apartament niezadbany, w łazience brak ciepłej wody, kuchnia bardzo słabo wyposażona, odpadające listwy, kurz, brak pościeli dla łóżka w salonie, w niektórych miejscach był grzyb
• Taina (7/5): - Sijainti oli hyvä ja asunto tilava. Asunto oli huonossa kunnossa. Kylpyhuoneiden silikonit täynnä mustia homepilkkuja. Lattialaminaatit olivat osittain irti. Lattiat narisi ja notkui askelten alla ja keittiössä oli lattiassa koloja. Osa kynnyksistä oli myös irti ja kynnyksien reunassa oli mustat likakertymät jotka näyttivät homeisilta.
• Ramon Anton (7/5): - Location The flat was a bit run down, with several items broken (gaming chair, heaters, flooring...)
• Danielle (3/5): Not safe - Location close to the under ground The car park space was next to a bike rack so was left with scratches on my driver door. The radiators were hanging off the wall, one fell on my foot. Wardrobe was ready to collapse, there was a mouldy drinks cup with milk in the dish washer the sofa was full of rips and exposed springs and there was no curtain’s.
• Ahmed (1/5): An unclean, unsafe, and unprofessional experience we had to leave early and involve Booking.com to - Nothing. Unfortunately, there was nothing positive about this stay. This property was completely unliveable and extremely unhygienic. We checked in very late (around 1:00 AM) after travelling from Denmark, and immediately noticed a strong, unpleasant smell throughout the apartment. The main entrance door locks looked damaged, as if they had been previously broken into. Within the first hour, two guests were locked inside the bathroom because the toilet lock was broken and would not open. I had to struggle with the door to get them out. The bathroom itself smelled extremely bad and had visible mould. The towels provided appeared to have already been used they were stained, smelled strongly, and were clearly unwashed. The bed sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases were all damp and had a lingering wet smell, making it impossible to sleep. We could not use the beds and ended up sitting in the kitchen area instead. Further inspection showed mould inside drawers, half-eaten food left in the fridge, broken heating, and a torn sofa. The entire apartment was dirty and in poor condition, and it looked nothing like the photos shown in the listing. We contacted the property manager immediately to request clean bedding so we could sleep, but no solution was provided. The next morning, we were told to find alternative accommodation and were promised a full refund if we checked out the same day. After checking out and confirming this, the host stopped responding and later attempted to change the agreement, forcing us to involve Booking.com to resolve the situation.
• Tahera (7/5): Overall it was good we enjoyed our stay. Apartment has great potential. Just need to fix the shower and toilet. - Location was ideal Spacious rooms View was amazing Free parking En suite toilet didn’t flush Needed curtains in bedroom Need fans in each room due to heatwave. Noisy at night.
• Javier (3/5): Piso muy mal acondicionado - El Precio La limpieza del piso y el contenido. Las camas muy incómodas, las sábanas y toallas eran de hace 5 años y los muebles en general no supraban unos mínimos, sin puertas y deteriorados. Las paredes sucias de salpicaduras de café sin limpiar y todo muy abandonado. Los utensilios de la cocina, como los vasos, solo hay 2 para todo el apartamento.
• Emilie (5/5): Une fois tout fait,l’appartement sera correct à louer! - Appartement propre,spacieux et belle vue Voiture en sécurité dans parking fermé avec gardien(gentil) Porte entrée forcée Moisissure baignoire et miroir à changer Canapé déchiré et non confortable pour y dormir Manque vaisselle;four sale Travaux à prévoir(plaintes au sol,radiateurs à fixer
• Ron (1/5): A mess 😔 - Only the location Everything was dirty and uncomfortable and old. Nothing like in the pictures. Just Terrible 😞
• Helene (6/5): Bon emplacement mais l'entretien est à revoir - L'emplacement à quelques mètres du métro et des bus La place de parking Le mail explicatif reçu avant l'arrivée dans le logement L'appartement manque d'entretien Les lits ne sont pas confortables Le ménage est assez limité Moisissure sur les joints de la douche et de la baignoire Les serviettes mouillées dans les tiroirs C'est dommage car le logement a du potentiel
• Kwet Young (6/5): - Good location
• Ivanov (10/5): -
• Fernando (6/5): -
• Victoria (8/5): - Location was really good, right near a train station, Nice size apartment. Beds were too low, and not very comfortable. Although the apartment was really clean, all the bedding and towels had been washed but were all still wet, we had to strip all the beds when we got there and put the heating on to dry the bedding and towels., luckily we arrived at the apartment in thd afternoon and realised.
• Carianne (9/5): Book this it’s amazing space and value! Wouslnt hesitate again!! - Centrally locates free parking amazing space and host! Needs a little bit of maintenance but didn’t affect our stay I tripped up a bit on the floor but I’m sure it’s on way to being fixed as host was amazing and sure he’s aware of it!! Also The cleaning needs a little nudge to deep clean as was food crumbs etc around on seating. Sauce on walls & dirty sheets- but that’s not the hosts fault! Great place. Wouslnt hesitate to book again amazing communication!
• Barbara (10/5): Great stay, we’ll be back for sure. - The location was excellent. We loved the terrace as well, it had a beautiful view! The apartment was spacious and comfortable, with a large kitchen and living room. The heating didn’t work properly. There were very few glasses , only one wine glass. There was no hot water in the shower in the master bedroom. Needs a little maintenance but amazing stay!
• Trevor (7/5): - Location good easy to get to transport links.Position in building...nice balconey Lack of facilities...2 small hand towels provided ..unable to get TV to work.no blinds/curtains. Couch needed replacement. Only 2 mugs provided one with broken handle. Glass ware only 2 small tumblers and 2 wine glasses.Very basic beds and mattress. Coming from family of landlords not impressed with decor...in need of TLC
• Eduardo (8/5): Good apartment with minor improvements to make. Will be back - The view is amazing! You can’t hear the noise outside which is good. Good utilities. My opinion is in the property they could add washing powder for the washing machine (it doesn’t need to be too much but at least to wash 2 or 3 times?) We’ve been last year and the shower wasn’t working properly and it still needs fixing a year later.
• Barry K Vanderhoven (5/5): A Visit to Excel - Great location, safe and secure position. 24-hour conceriege. The apartment has plenty of space inside. Close to Excel and Docklands (walking distance). Easy access by train or bus into town. This was a great apartment, and it still can be, but sadly, it is in need of renovation. It is now worn out after some hard service.
• luca (8/5): -
• Aziz (8/5): -
• Chan (6/5): - The flat is big enough for 4 people to stay. Location is perfect. Near to the tube station, very near to the shopping store and restaurants. We loved the washing machine and the drying rack when we stayed there for few summer days. The facilities are poor in the flat. - The shower room is not working in the master room. Only one shower room can be used finally. - The curtain pole in the lounge fall down suddenly when I opened the curtain. My head is hurt. - No curtain in master room, we cannot change the clothes or no privacy in master room. The sunlight is strong in the daytime. - No coffee machine there, but the description says yes. - Most of the utensils in the kitchen are not clean and with stains. - No capsules of dishwasher and washing machine are provided.
• Mark (7/5): Nice, but missing essentials, like towels and silverware. - The location was great. There were no towels in the property. The kitchen did not have any cutlery, so we had to eat with large plastic cooking utensils.
• Lee (6/5): Good location - The Apartment was in a ideal location ,near to canning town station , transport and restaurants , great views across to canary wharf , The furniture in the apartment needed replacing , the double bed in the master was on the floor , and sofa bed in lounge very low so this apartment would be no good for the disabled or elderly , the whole apartment could do with a deep clean and decorate , when leaving the apartment we removed the sheets to help the staff to find the mattress to be absolutely filthy and no mattress cover , also the bed was broken , as I said lovely apartment but needs more attention to detail
• Rachel (8/5): Very good stay for a family sightseeing in London - The location was perfect. Right next to the station for the underground. Shops and food places within walking distance. Balcony and secure parking is also great. That there were no curtains. Can be noisy with the traffic below. A few things needed to be mended but didn’t really affect us much.
• Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Getting from kings Cross to this apartment was so easy hop on the northern line to London bridge and get the jubilee kune to Canning Town, loads of local supermarkets 5 minute walk away easy access to O2 arena just one stop. Highly recommend this apartment spacious clean couldn't ask for more Nothing
• Mediafields (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (7/5): Good - Apartment has all needed for a weekend stay Overall the apartment was clean Curtains in all rooms falling off and do not block any light out at all. Toilets dont always flush Sofa in living area very uncomfortable
• Buxton (8/5): 3 night stay for marathon - Great location and great apartment. One stop from o2 and easy into centre of London. Lots of shops nearby for stocking up on essentials and 2 min walk to station. Balcony and Parking were a massive plus. Just needs a little spruce. Needs proper curtains in bedrooms and could be a bit noisy (traffic) at times if that bothers you.
• Idrisk (7/5): Nice flat in top location. - Location is perfect, area is clean and close vicinity to transport links. Not so far from O2 arena. Underground parking is with guarded security and behind closed gates so you feel at ease. The kitchen was good with everything working as it should. Shower is the main bathroom was very powerful. Hot water was available from the water cylinder unit. The view from the 8th floor is nice. The area is quiet and not so loud. Bed was very uncomfortable, sofa bed wasn't good quality. The toilet flush button was broken. The ensuite shower wasn't working but this was highlighted by the owner prior to arrival. Close to the overground trains so can hear them occasionally.
• Nick (8/5): Very good - Location was brilliant, Sainsbury's across the road and McDonald's very close. Transport links 5 mins away 👍 Flat needs a bit of TLC, well equipped with everything there but could do with a bit of updating and a few things mended, touched up.
• K (3/5): Cheap as can be. It shows. A hotel is a depressing upgrade in many ways - I mean. It was cheap. I mean. It was really really cheap. Place was stark as h*ck. Even some decent lighting would go a long way. Been a long time since I didn’t want to come back to where I was staying after a long day of work. This place made me sad. Mirror is nasty. Floor is gross. Bed is on the ground. Lighting is terrible. Oof. No soap? No soap? Really?
• Sharnie (7/5): Good -
• Keerthy (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (10/5): Great stay, previous comments a little harsh, would stay again. - Location, facilities all adequate, great base for visit and close to transport options. Really up and coming area. Few bits a little tired but clean, guess previous guests not as respectful to the property. Sofa bed could be improved if changed to a double.
• Ninjagirl (4/5): Location is perfect for easy access to the O2, otherwise I would avoid. - Location to the O2 arena is the only reason to visit this place . It had great location, 2 minute walk from the station & as it’s in the 8th floor the view is amazing. First thing I had to do was empty the dishwasher as they left their dishes in from the last stay! There was a bag of potatoes & onions in the drawer of which were sprouting so not sure how long they’re been there! The bed in the main room was really low & one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! The fact there’s no privacy blinds or curtains. Just nets meaning people can see straight through when lights are on! It also lets the sun in & the light in the morning so hard to get some good rest. It needs an update as there’s broken floor panels.
• Jacinda (7/5): Great spot, good views, big apartment and secure parking - Great views, big balcony, lots of space. Good big kitchen No curtains for light or privacy at night, only net curtains
• Paula (5/5): Passable - Great location Uncomfortable sofa, for cost of apartment would have been nice to have some comfort for the evening. Couldn't watch tv, if couldn't connect to Internet, couldn't access apps. Had to use phone and screen share to tv.
• Lee (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ahnaf (9/5): Superb - The apartment was neat and clean, the communal space was quite spacious and there were all kinds of utilities available within the apartment. And the best thing was its proximity to the tube station - just a 5-minute walk. Perfect location and a great place to stay. Nothing much to dislike really, but there were a couple of minor things. 1. The en-suite shower didn''t work properly 2. There was a bit of mold in the other toilet
• Susan (8/5): We had a super weekend and appartment was perfect for our needs. - It was perfect for meeting our son who flew in from Germany and spent the weekend in London with us. It was easy to get on train at Canning Town and our car was safe in underground car park. The shower in en-suite didn’t work but the main bathroom shower was fine.
• Jason (5/5): Good location with safe parking but let down by poor fixtures and fittings - Good location just a few minutes walk from Canning Town Tube and DLR stations. Safe and secure parking on the ground floor. Easy access Really Uncomfortable poor quality beds with no curtains in the bedrooms other than net ones that let all the light in and not very private. Really uncomfortable sofa. TV doesn’t work and won’t connect to the internet. Black mold on shower and bath sealant. Poor quality flooring fitment. Balcony banister held on with G Clamps
• Ethan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amit (1/5): Very pathetic and disappointing and uncomfortable stay in city like London and a spoil for our holidays with cost paid w - Only likeable things are location close to tube station and free parking. The property is not at all maintained in standards according to price. Below are the issues faced by my family:- 1. The bedroom blinds are broken and not proper so there is disturbance during sleep and early morning with light. 2. The wooden cupboard in room is broken and tilting. I almost got injured holding the cupboard. 3. The wooden flooring is broken in places and joints, its unsafe for little child who almost tripped. 4. There are no curtains in living room so there was a privacy concern where everything was visible from apartments across the road. 5. The bathroom shower knob is broken and causes hassle as its a struggle to operate every time. Sometimes had to shower in cold water. 6. The utensils are not enough/worn out and not induction compatible, had to buy my own pot for even boiling child’s milk. 7. The bed in main bedroom was so low and old that didn’t have a comfortable sleep for even a single night. 8. There is no noise insulation and it is besides a busy road with traffic all night so no continuous sleep. 9. The quality of beddings, linen and towels is so low, seems like they have not been changed in months and very old worn out. On top of this when pointed out issues to the host instead of apologising or compensating in any form he started arguing and blaming us that we can leave the apartment and that we should have told earlier or seen in pictures. It seems he doesn’t care about guests and hospitality and it is source of additional income for people who expect AirBnB type of quality.
• Eduardo (10/5): Exceptional - Location and park space available
• Junzhao (6/5): Pleasant -
• Qamar (10/5): Best apartment great facilitys amazing location and view wow - Amazing service great views totally mint location was well looked after had amazing time thnks Would hiigly recamend
• Caitlin (5/5): Stay was ok, location was great for the O2 and close to the tube stop, the beds and toilets were not very good, we would - The location and living area was fantastic, two bedrooms and two bathrooms were really useful The toilets didn’t flush properly, we were alerted to an issue with the shower which seemed ok, but the toilets were incredibly difficult to flush if they flushed at all, one bed was far too low to the ground and really difficult to have a comfortable sleep in, the other bed had a better frame but the mattress was old and sagged in the middle.
• Ellen (8/5): Very good - Very nice flat in a good location, close to Canning Town station. Spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen. The host warned us the second shower was difficult to use, we couldn't get it to work, but we were all fine using the other one. Some of the cooking pots are not compatible with the induction hob. The blinds in the bedroom don't block a lot of light in the morning if you are sensitive to that.
• Evgeny (8/5): Very good value for money for family. - Location, rooms size, kitchen equipment. Toilets flush buttons are not easy to use. One of two showers is tricky to use.
• Everard (6/5): Location good but apartment could be better - The property location was great my son was there for a swimming competition and it was super easy to get to the Olympic park. Just 2 stops on the tube less then 30 mins door to door. Also loads of places to eat and shop so location was good. The direction and detail on how to access the property could have been clearer. There were 2 entrances and I spent 10 minutes trying to access the wrong entry. The property could have been amazing but there were a few basic things that were frustrating. Most the saucepans were rusty so I did not want to use them, some basic stuff like such as a jug drainer were not included. Also blinds in all the room would not close so woken up early by sunlight not good when competing. Apartment was not very clean found and lots of washing was left on balcony. In fairness owner was responsive just frustrating as it wasn’t cheap and most of the issues were easy to address.
• Dominique (7/5): Ok for a short business stay - Location, 2 bathrooms The furnitures curtains needs an upgrade, not everything was cleaned, noisy (probably nothing to fix this as close to subway) The only way to have a bit of television is connecting via own pc.
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• Jessica (7/5): Good apartment - Excellent location & price. The apartment is spacious and modern, comfortable beds. Loved the balcony. There were a couple of cleaning issues & some of the pans in the kitchen were quite rusty & small, we were a group of 4 so it was difficult to cook everything we needed at once.
• Nicola (10/5): Spacious apartment with parking - The location was perfect close to the tube station for easy access to London, close to lovely cafes and cocktail bars, whilst being ideally situated for our event at the ExCel. Parking was also included, which is a massive bonus. The apartment is clean, but could do with a little touch up here and there. But nothing major.
• Kwet (7/5): Just need to change those kitchen wares which are rusty amd everything would be fine - It is very well situated The kitchen ware are a bit rusty
• Pauline (7/5): Vey good but needs more attention to detail and updating to be luxury - The location was superb. The parking and the staff were brilliant. Communication with the owner was easy with quick responses, they gave me really good advise. I loved the fact everything was provided including spices tea coffee and toiletries Luxury was slightly over exaggerated. It was adequate and we were comfortable but lacking in attention to detail. There were 4 of us staying and the couch was uncomfortable and not big enough for all of us. The bathroom mirror was dirty and some general Maintenance was required
• Poulton (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stefan (6/5): Pleasant - We liked that it was a spacious apartment relatively close to the underground. The price was also excellent. The apartment wasn't as clean as we would have liked it to be ,walls need new painting. More cleanliness in the bathrooms .The beds were not very comfortable. Some doors need to be fixed.
• Knobel (9/5): Excellent, would certainly recommend it. - I liked that it was a spacious apartment relatively close to the underground and an event location where we were going. The price was also excellent. I needed a place to stay overnight, and hotels in the area were really expensive. The bathroom wasn't as clean as I would have liked it to be. But nothing I can't live with.
• Martin (5/5): It was passable for a short work break - The location was quite good for us as we were working at the ExCel for a few days so it was only a 10-15 minute walk to the venue. Obtaining the keys was quite straight forward. The TV didn't work so we had to hook up our laptop to the tv to watch programmes. On arrival, all of the towels were still wet from being washed. The apartment was quite clean but the standard of the finish re decor ( for example walls not painted properly, mirror in the main bathroom was damaged) was ok but not a great look. The beds were extremely uncomfortable particularly the futon bed. There was no washing up liquid to clean up after meals so we had to buy some and there were a couple of cigarette butts on the balcony. There was a lack of restaurants/places to eat nearby (although the Italian round the corner was great) so it was a good walk to find anywhere to eat in the evening.
• Chris (8/5): Great place to stay as a place to attend events at the Excel center and explore the rest of the city - The location was fantastic for what we wanted. Really close to the Canning Town station which is 2 stops over from the Excel centre. It is also about 5 minutes away from a supermarket, and a small area with a bunch of restaurants, and a great view, especially at night. Not too much, didn't seem to be any bins around, just some small buckets. Opening the dishwasher felt like it was going to break the kickboard. Seemed to be a few ants in one of the bathrooms.
• Mrunal (9/5): Excellent stay!! Would like to stay here again. - Perfect location as it's close to metro station as well as London City airport.
• Whiteman (10/5): Lovely apartment! Beautiful views - Beautiful view Nothing
