Guest Reviews

• Martin (10/5): - Poloha, vybavenie, čistota.
• Maria (7/5): Cost ✅ location ✅ clean ✅ - Location a cleanliness 👌
• Martina (8/5): -
• Eleni (8/5): overall a great place to stay and was perfect for what we needed - in a great location near to train and tube station the front door didn’t feel secure
• Avni (10/5): -
• Paul (8/5): Clean apartment, good facilities, responsive host, comfortable sleep. Quiet by London standards - I was at the Excel where hotel prices were in excess of £200. For 2 people this was a bargain. Location was a £12 Uber ride from the Excel and a 10 min walk feom the Westfield shopping centre. Westfield to Kings cross 20 minutes on the Elizabeth line
• Lynne (6/5): Four ladies stayed one night here. Checked beforehand if towels were supplie but there was only two there and there was - Proximity to venue Not the best of areas
• Seb77Ita (7/5): - Close to the station and westfield Nn
• Chris (7/5): All ok for an overnight stay -
• Laurentiu (9/5): -
• neil (10/5): Simple ckean affordable with everything you need - Great location for olympic pool and westfield and transport links Nothing
• O'Toole (7/5): - Once inside the apartment it was nice, clean, comfortable and facilities were good but could do with a few wine glasses The area outside wasn't the best - a bit rough looking and run down - wouldn't feel comfortable walking around on my own.
• Michal (9/5): -
• Steph (6/5): A bit more context of the area and that it’s in a block of rundown flats would have been more honest, Olympic appartment - Nice tidy apartment once inside Very run down area, key safe outside a door that the key didn’t open, door was around other side of building. Dark smelly stairway going up that reeked of weed. Bags of rubbish / clothing or perhaps household stuff piled high against the landing wall outside the flat looked like a house clearance???
• Terry (3/5): -
• Sean (10/5): Overall had a great experience. - Clean, comfortable and in a great location. N/a.
• Francis (3/5): Disappointed - Images of inside the apartment were very acurate and location is very close to shopping centre and train station Street parking required tickets. Door to apartment was loose and rattled at night. Gaps in the windows and unable to close causing restless sleep with noise and cold air blowing in. Strange smells in the halway. Lots of garbage on the street
• Renate (8/5): Super Lage, alles vorhanden aber kein großer Komfort - Die Lage wirklich nahe der Stratford Station ist sehr gut, dort treffen sich so viele Linien dass man in jede Richtung eine super Verbindung hat. Und im Westfield Stratford Center gleich dahinter gibt es jede Menge Shops und Lokale. Wir hatten nicht auf Anhieb den richtigen Schlüsselsafe gefunden, da es bei jedem der zwei Hauseingänge je einen gibt, aber per WhatsApp und Telefon wurde uns rasch und sehr freundlich geholfen. Die Ausstattung der Küchenzeile ist komplett, es waren sogar Kaffeekapseln da. Im Bad wurden Handseife, Duschgel, Shampoo und Bodylotion bereit gestellt. Die Fenster sind gut schallisoliert, denn überraschenderweise hat man vom nahen Bahnhof kaum etwas gehört, auch nachts. Auch aus anderen Wohnungen im Haus hat man nichts durch die Wände hindurch gehört. Im Stiegenhaus ist wenig Licht, manche Beleuchtungskörper waren ganz kaputt, andere blinkten nur. Das Schloss an der Wohnungstüre kann man nicht versperren, einzige Sicherung von innen ist eine Kette. Weder im Vorraum noch im Bad gibt es einen einzigen Haken, um etwas aufzuhängen. Im größeren Schlafzimmer (mit Schreibtisch und Sessel) war das Bett ziemlich hart. Im kleineren Schlafraum war das Bett bequem, dafür gab es kaum Ablageflächen. Die Sessel beim Esstisch sind nicht sehr stabil, haben aber gehalten. Die Kaffeetassen haben wir das erste Mal vor Benutzung gewaschen.
• MANSOOR (7/5): -
• Marilyne (7/5): -
• Michael (8/5): -
• Martin (8/5): Great base for the things we wanted to do!! - Great location - easy access to the Olympic site and the V&A museum, and we also used it as a base from which to travel to a concert at the O2, which was super easy on the Jubilee line. And getting into and out of London was easy on the Elizabeth Line Toilet flush was a bit hit and miss. Some of our party felt uneasy in the neighborhood, but in fact we had no problems
• James (8/5): - Really close to London Stadium,Westfield shopping centre and Stratford station Needs a bit of TLC.
• Tracey (8/5): -
• Elaine (8/5): -
• Miho (6/5): Pleasant -
• Reagan (8/5): Very good - Great location to the stadium and the shopping centre
• Nikodem (10/5): Decent flat. Very clean - Wery warm welcome
• Viv (7/5): Perfect venue for event at the aquatic centre. Very responsive host - Location was excellent for walk from the station and to the aquatic centre No plug for the bath.
• Gaby (8/5): Perfect location for ABBA VOYAGE - We used this apartment as a base to go and see ABBA VOYAGE. Perfect location, only 10 minutes walk from the venue. The apartment was clean and had everything that we needed for a one or two nights stay
• Samantha (7/5): Nice big space but needs some updating - Really friendly host and provided great information with pictures for how to find the property and the key safe. Close to the station and relatively quiet at night which was good and perfect for what we needed. Quite a nice space for the two of us to have room and had basically everything we needed, lots of daylight with big windows which was nice. Beds were very uncomfortable and desperately need to replace the pillows, thin duvet which made it cold at night. 2 of us staying for 4 nights but only left us 3 coffee pods so had to buy our own which was unexpected. Surfaces were clean but dirty hand prints all over doors and walls and there’s patches of mould and damp in corners of ceilings that need addressing. We booked it because it had a bath tub but there was no plug for the bath to use it and the drain needs unblocking as would fill up with water when having a shower and take a while to go down and then no bath mat to step onto. Towels were very small and old. Whole place just really needs a good clean and things updating and it would have made our stay much better.
• Schubert (6/5): Mediocre apartment - The location was prime for the reason that we were there. The room had two full beds and a kitchen so we could save money by eating in. The beds in one of the bedrooms is as hard as a rock. The tea kettle was disgusting. The refrigerator makes a loud ringing noise, that is neverending. The TV in the living room was missing the USB connector for the fire stick. Lastly the door didn't look very safe in regards to the lock. It looked as though its been broken into in the past. Thank goodness for the chain lock otherwise I would not have felt secure. The owner also kept hounding me about the deposit on the day I was to arrive (traveling day) it would have been better to have the deposit squared away in advance.
• Fiona (9/5): Ideal flat in ideal location - It was clean and comfortable. Handy for the abba venue and shopping centre. The shower wasn’t the best. The fridge made a lot of noise and we had to turn it off to sleep. The stairwell had broken glass in it so was off putting on arrival.
• Nata (8/5): It was a good stay and because of the convenience would stay again. - Location was great and was 4 min walk to Stratford station. Very close to all main amenities and stadium is close by. Kitchen was a bit tight and bathtub was not easy to get into or out.
• Bhupinder (8/5): Lovely apartment just in the wrong area - The inside of the apartment was lovely, it was the surrounding area that made us feel unsafe. The surrounding area made us feel a bit unsafe
• Mike (8/5): Very good -
• Mike (7/5): Good -
• Lisa (8/5): Very good -
• Harold (8/5): Very good -
• Mihaly-adam (9/5): Good value for money - Very good location, right near Stratford Train Station, which meant a lot of goods to shop and easy public transport link. The apartment is nicely decorated and well-kept and the communication with the host was very straightforward and easy. The apartment has very poor soundproofing and you can hear everything from outside.
• Tanya (6/5): Would not stay again - Five minute to Stratford station, if you come out of the right exit which was good. The apartment was clean and tidy The location I didn’t feel safe walking around and finding a dead rat in the middle of the road going to the apartment was not a great experience.
• Alvaro (7/5): It was a pleasant stay , the tv in the room was a big win. It’s very homely. - very easy to get to and the host is very easy going . Keeps instructions very simple but effective. Booked it last minute & everything was sorted within less than 20 minutes.
• Ann (4/5): I wish the location and the building matched the inside of the property . . - It was tidy and it was clean on the inside of the property. When inside it was warm and cosy. The outside of the property does not match the inside of the property. The area in which the property was located was a downgrade the building that the property is in was a downgrade and to be honest If I looked at the location on google map before I booked the property I would have definitely changed my mind . More pillows are needed in the bedrooms. Too much banging and loud noise from the neighbours you can hear every sound made from the inside of the property especially doors banging. Myself and my partner and the kids couldn’t sleep properly throughout the night . So sorry but here was not for us . Thank you for your accommodation.
• Stephanie (5/5): Overpriced for the facility and location. Comfortable and clean but basic. - It was well appointed with good appliances and heating. Easy walk to Stratford Westfield and transport hub. First impression, the exterior of the building and neighbourhood were very poorly cared for. Diane look like a safe place to stay. Stairs to the 2nd floor, a long way up with bags. Also lighting didn’t always work at night. Toilet blocked easily. 2nd bedroom very small. No room for bags.
• Deborah (9/5): Superb -
• Jia (7/5): Good -
• Deborah (8/5): We had a great weekend. - It was fairly well equipped and very clean inside. The communal area to get up to the apartment. The location wasn’t a particularly pleasant area although the pub opposite was handy and welcoming. We’d have liked there to be some milk there even if it was long life.
• Malou (7/5): Comfortable and so convenient. - Fantastic location. Ten minute walk to jubilee line connection. Ten minute walk to Westfield shopping centre with superb restaurant and leisure facilities. Highly recommend Busaba Thai, we've been there four times now and always blown away by the food. Quiet location which was surprising regarding how central. Attempts to modernise the apartment look great on the photos but as usual not quite the same in reality. Not being picky but preparation is key with decorating and it could have been so much better if the rooms had been striped back to basics first. Kind of "papering over the cracks" situation. In the kitchen department it could have been awkward if I hadn't noticed the sugar tin had been filled with salt! would also have been useful to have a few sachets of long life milk to accompany the tea. Wifi would not connect over the three days despite the owner being informed. No plug for the bath. I know if its not nailed down things go walkabout. Head board in master bedroom uncomfortable (wife noticed that one!) And our daughter was not happy the second bedroom had no tv though with no internet she couldn't watch U tube anyway lol. But all this was saved by such an excellent location and yes if I brought a spare bath plug I would revisit...... If I was still welcome.
• Maria (10/5): Thank you Fabio - The location is great and you get nice views from all of the rooms and can enjoy observing the planes flying above. Clean and great communication with Fabio Who was accommodating to my requests. I will Stay here again as I have no complaints. Nothing
• Anna (10/5): So I was initially concerned as was traveling with my son. But the owner reassured me and I had absolutely no issues. Go - Good location and very clean and safe. Nothing.
• Vicki (10/5): Lovely apartment with everything you need - Clean, tidy and in the vicinity as to where we needed to be N/A
• Georgia (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (5/5): Passable -
• Roxana (9/5): Superb -
• Nicola (9/5): Superb -
• Kelly (4/5): It was ok but beds terrible - Clean Beds were far too hard we all struggled and didn’t have a very good nights sleep
• Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (5/5): Glad I was with my husband late at night walking to property didn’t feel safe - Tv didn’t work
• Nick (6/5): Pleasant - Convenient location but unattractive Bath did not drain properly TV controller did not work No where to hang towels Stairs and hallway dirty and no lights at night
• Alyson (3/5): Not for single woman traveller - Had a nice little dining table. I would have preferred to have seen external pictures of the property. I wouldn’t have felt safe if arriving alone. I found the windows hard to close and there was a lot of outside noise until about 11 pm. The beds were very firm.
• Tamba (2/5): Was not to my expectation. - Proximity to Stratford station The communal area smells a lot of cigarettes and other odours type.
• Richard (7/5): Good - Enough equipment Difficult to find
• Gemma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacqueline (7/5): Great location. Well equipped. Clean. - There was no hot water on the first night as the boiler had been turned off. A couple of hooks in the bathroom would be helpful and a small bin. Milk to accompany tea/coffee would be a nice touch. The fridge was noisy at times.
• Fuad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hilary (7/5): Handy Simple Clean - Near to Abba Voyage to walk The area isnt great but once you are inside its fine
• Barry (10/5): Absolutely would stay here again - Fantastic location for Olympic park Nothing
• Pablo (10/5): Very comfortable apartment - Full , comfortable , clean
• Sandra (6/5): Pleasant -
• Teboc (9/5): Definitely worth considering for any events in Stratford - A hidden gem in Stratford just minutes from the station, stadium, aquatic centre and Westfield, and a pleasant 30 minute walk to the hockey centre. It was well equipped and definitely large enough for two couples. A sharp cooking knife would have been useful
• Su (8/5): A lovely spacious apartment for me and daughter. Close to Westfields and shops. A very cosy and clean place. We were com - Very nice cosy apartment, complimentary tea and coffee and toiletries, clean and hygienic. It was spacious and the furnishings were gave it a nice feel. The smell in the corridor, the buzzing of the fridge/freezer and the heating not going full warm
• Laura (9/5): Superb - Location, space, clean, coffee and tea provided, shop very close by.
• Maarjan (9/5): Superb -
• Michal (6/5): Pleasant - Nice apartment, well equipped. Great surprise after the experience of rather unpleasant house entrance and corridor. Location quite underwhelming.
• Michelle (9/5): Good for a stay over - Location and cleanliness Bed was a bit hard and only had 1 pillow each
• Joycelyn (8/5): It served its purpose !! - The facilities everything you needed was available! The communal areas, residual smell of smoke in apartment!
• Angela (10/5): Homely lovely clean flat - Very clean
• Lisa (8/5): Perfect for a 1 night stay. Has everything you needed. Good communication prior to stay and stay again. - Ideal for what we were looking for Slight odour to surrounding building. Bath mat could do with changing to make it look cleaner.
• Mark (9/5): Superb - Perfect location for ABBA Voyage, also for the train station. Very comfortable accommodation. Would definitely stay again.
• Yvonne (9/5): Superb - Property was clean and location was great. Easy access to transport links and plenty of shops/restaurants.
• Helen (7/5): Good - Lovely, well equipped, warm, clean apartment. The location of the apartment. We didn't feel very safe in the area.
• Jeff (8/5): Nice stay for a few nights - The host was friendly and allowed us to store our luggage in the apartment before check-in. The apartment itself is comfortable and well-fitted with everything that you would need for your stay, even if that stay is a week or more. The apartment is pretty clean overall. It's nice that there are two separate bedrooms. One room is quite big and is fitted with a huge TV, the other one is a lot smaller but big enough for two people to stay there a few nights. One of the beds had a very tough mattress. The fridge makes a very high-pitched noice, causing us to remove the plug during the night. The building that the apartment is in seems a bit run-down and the hallway smells of... I don't know what it was, but it was probably barely legal. The area is a little rough but seems safe enough. It's about an 8-minute walk to Stratford station and about 15 minutes to the Westfield shopping centre. While the apartment was clean overall, we found an empty condom wrapper in the couch.
• John (10/5): A home from home - Brilliant place to stay if going to watch west ham my second time in a few weeks. Fabio has too class customer service is very helpful and accommodating. Will be back again Nothing at all
• Ricco (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanessa (1/5): Scary - We didn’t stay at the property. The sight of blood up the hallway and smell of weed in the building meant we left immediately and went to a premier inn See above
• Karen (9/5): Great location for ABBA Voyage - Good clean, well appointed flat. Ideal for an overnight stay to watch ABBA Voyage.
• Michael (5/5): Not value for money - The area was not ideal. You don’t see this when booking. It was top floor of 3 storey flat and the stairwell was very run down and a mess. Area very intimidating and felt going out at night would be challenging if on own. Certainly not worth the cost and would not stay again Had an issue prior to having access to flat as I misplaced the PIN code for safe key. Called letting agent twice as we stood outside but both calls went through to voicemail and we did not get a call back. We almost left to find alternative accommodation but finally recovered the PIN number. Very disappointed that no-one was around to call back.
• Fiona (5/5): Although the area was not great the flat was a really nice surprise - The property was clean and modernised inside The area and other properties was off putting
• Liza (5/5): Good location for ABBA - Right beside Stratford tube station - central line straight into the city/ very close to ABBA. Staff were very helpful and friendly Did not expect the property to be located where it was - quite an unsafe area. The flat is on the top floor of a very run down, smelly and dirty building. Perhaps look on google maps to avoid disappointment.
• Linda (7/5): Lovely apartment inside , area run down - Really comfortable apartment, plenty of hot water, very clean with great facilities in kitchen. Nicely equipped. Close to Abba Arena so only a short taxi ride away or a 15 minute walk. Area around flat seemed quite scruffy & run down , although it was quiet during night. We took taxis to and from the Abba show we’d come to see so can’t comment re walking around the area. The communal staircase smelled quite stale. No lift which with elderly travelling companions along with suitcases could be a problem.
• Alex (9/5): Small but great value - Very clean, coffee machine and ideal location Someone smoked and the hallway smelt. Uninviting stairs but lovely once inside
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Couldn’t fault it Everything you need for an overnight stay while working at Westfield
• Allan (5/5): Passable - The facilities inside the apartment are all good and it's clean.
• John (9/5): Brilliant stay - Very clean and spacious apartment. We were over for the West Ham match so was close to stadium and the pub across the road. Will definitely be back way better than hotel. Nothing everything was great
• Miranda (9/5): If you are looking for a place to rest your head near ABBA voyage - this is it … we will be back ;-) - It was clean, it was an a great location for going to see ABBA voyage and visiting the Westfield shopping centre . Fabio was great with his communication and made it easy to locate Don’t be put off by the location around it - felt very safe as a group of ladies walking around at night
• Jennifer (9/5): Perfect location for Westfield and Abba - The location was excellent, 10 min walk (max) to Stratford Station. We stayed here to see Abba Voyage and it was so easy to get there and back, and to get here from the airport and Euston. Perfect location for Westfield and it was very clean and well kept The area around the apartment looks a little rough and ready but we saw no trouble at all and were perfectly fine walking back at 11pm. It may have been nice to have a little milk and a couple of tea bags - heads up to bring your own!
• Joanne (7/5): Good - Excellent facilities and very clean and tidy. The location and surrounding areas were not very nice. Very close to the shopping centre and the Abba concert venue however
• Kevin (8/5): A great location for a trip to London - Sweet comfortable flat with good connections to central London - much better than a hotel in our opinion We had to input bank details in a separate link prior to our stay to settle a deposit. Unfortunately we were charged again for the flat duration. We only found out about this on our own whilst reviewing our bank balances. If booking.com is used we expect that there is coordination for charging of fees because we could have easily overlooked this plus with the scams going round on the internet having to give bank details outside booking.com causes undue anxiety. The refund process took over two weeks. We were however fully refunded.
• Anonymous (6/5): Olympic apartment slightly misleading but it is in a convenient location - Modern, clean, well equipped . Convenient location for Stratford Olympic park. Entrance and stairwell - but off putting on arrival
• Ziyad (10/5): Exceptional - Brilliant
