Guest Reviews

• Macarthur (8/5): Our stay was pleasant and really enjoying our visit woiod recommend to others - It was in the middle of central London which made it good to visit attractions. That it’s above a karaoke bar that doesn’t stop playing music till 3 which makes it difficult to sleep.
• Marie Claire (5/5): Emplacement 10/10, appartement 5/10 - L’emplacement central dans la ville Le logement situé au dessus d’un pub karaoké avec couloir d’accès partagé donc bruit +++ jusqu’à 2h du matin et saleté +++ dans les escaliers (verres d’alcool à moitié vide, débris de verre au sol laissés sur place le temps du séjour, nettoyage médiocre). La pièce donne sur un espace rempli de climatiseurs/soufflerie bruyants. Mauvaise description de l’appartement puisqu’il n’y a pas de possibilité de cuisiner contrairement à ce qui est annoncé, il y a juste un micro ondes. Le café mis à disposition est infecte (sachet en poudre). Le matelas du lit n’est pas franchement confortable et grince au moindre mouvement. Le ménage laisse à désirer et la vaisselle est salle. Mauvaise isolation du bruit, du froid et de la lumière donc pas top pour dormir
• John (5/5): Good value for location in London, however we would have booked this apt had we had been informed of local construction - The inside of apartment was exactly as listed. However the bed mattress was worn & not comfortable but the apartment was clean & well stocked. Unfortunately the area around the apartment is under major construction beside & in front during our stay. Construction Noise started at 6am & dance hall beside with music til 3am.

• Rachele (9/5): -
• Jacqueline (7/5): - Very central position, room perfectly adequate for our stay, bed comfortable The entrance to the accommodation was off putting, hallways dark and dirty.
• KarenH (5/5): - Centrally located, close to tube station and restaurants, conveniently located. Comfortable bed and plenty of clean linens. Spacious room. Instructions for property access were a little misleading (the door isn't red, its a graffiti covered pink) and could have been clearer. There are lockpads on the doors which is great, I did feel a little exposed and vulnerable as a solo female, the windows don't lock (they are painted shut) and the apartment door lock feels loose. All in all it is good vfm, but it is above a bar which means it's quite noisy, and the stairwell is quite smelly. If you want value and location over peace and comfort, this is for you. Stale soap in the shower from a previous guest was an unwelcome surprise.

• Mike (3/5): frustrating and disappointing, thank you booking.com for your help - location clean and tidy lack of communication. non functioning kettle and t.v. very dirty entrance and staircases to third floor. exposed ladies and gents toilets on the second floor for the night club below. very loud music and singing until 2.00am
• Cally (10/5): -
• Martyna (8/5): Idealne na wypad na West End - Świetna lokalizacja wypadowa do wszystkich najważniejszych atrakcji. Idealne 1-2 noce. Czysto. Zimno w łazience. Mieszkanie nad barem więc w weekend karaoke do 3 nad ranem, trochę głośno.
• David (8/5): -
• Cristiana (1/5): - La centralità della struttura Tutto il resto. Durante la prima notte e’ suonato l’allarme antincendio alle tre e mezza . Una sirena fortissima che ha continuato a suonare fino al giorno successivo e , nonostante le telefonate e i messaggi al proprietario della struttura nessuno ha risposto o si è fatto vedere. Questo ci ha fatto decidere subito di cambiare struttura con costi aggiuntivi rilevanti, creandoci enormi difficoltà. Non si lavora in questo modo. E’ una vergogna. Sarebbe necessario avere il rimborso della prima notte almeno.
• vicki (10/5): - Perfect location to theatres, very spacious! The bed was a little hard and uncomfortable but for one night's stay it was fine
• Petre Madalina Ciucalata (8/5): Great value for money - Clean and central location Bed needs tightening, you can't turn from one side to the other with waking even yourself up
• azahara (7/5): - La ubicación es inmejorable, y el precio para lo cara que es la ciudad está bien La cama hacía bastante ruido

• Eleanor (10/5): Amazing week in central london - There was enough space for us to put our stuff away for the week. They give you everything you need and it was a clean place. Ive been to places where it was really disgusting but this was really nice!
• Sarah (5/5): Basis voorziening met geweldige locatie. - Via mail duidelijke communicatie over waar de sleutels te vinden en instructies voor het appartement. Locatie is fantastisch. Appartement is groot genoeg en qua basis voorzieningen wel ok. TV voorzieningen en wifi allemaal ok. Minimum aan hygiëne in het appartement zelf, maar het gebouw... iets minder. Toen ik de deur van het appartement wilde sluiten kroop er een kakkerlak door de spleten... Niet zo fijn om te slapen in dit gezelschap. Op het terras (waar je niet op kan) hangt ook een afzuigsysteem, dat ding draait dag en nacht. De staat van het appartement is basis, geen dubbele beglazing ofzo, dus het lawaai van de afzuiging komt wel binnen. Matras mag ook een update krijgen, is best dun.

• Austin (9/5): -
• Julien (5/5): Bel emplacement mais... - Appartement très bien situé dans Londres, les chauffages fonctionnent bien, nécessaire de toilettes et draps fournis On accède à l'appartement par les toilettes d'un bar, les équipements fournis sont sales (cafetière pleine et entartrée), 2 prises cassées (derrière le clic-clac), isolation phonique quasiment inexistante, salle de bain pas isolée (thermiquement et phonétiquement), communication avec le propriétaire partielle
• Millet (10/5): -
• Florinda (9/5): - Struttura localizzata nel pieno centro di Londra, perfetta per chi cerca un appartamento centrale e di un appoggio per dormire. Calda e accogliente. Eravamo 4 giovani e siamo stati benissimo. Vicinissima alla metro, si puó raggiungere qualsiasi zona di Londra. Non ci è stato possibile depositare i bagagli.
• Nina (9/5): Un séjour agréable et pratique au cœur de Londres, dans un appartement conforme aux photos et très bien encadré par un p - plein Leicester Square, au cœur de Londres, ce qui facilite clairement tous les déplacements. Nous savions déjà que la zone était animée, mais malgré le fait que l’appartement soit situé au-dessus d’un pub, nous avons été agréablement surpris; le pub ne fonctionne que le vendredi et le samedi, et même ces soirs-là, l’insonorisation est très bonne. On perçoit un léger fond sonore, mais rien de dérangeant et pour les personnes très sensibles, des bouchons d’oreille suffiraient largement. L’appartement était entièrement conforme aux photos : propre, bien entretenu et confortable. Le chauffage fonctionnait parfaitement, ce qui était très appréciable. Enfin, un énorme point positif pour le personnel, et en particulier James, avec qui j’ai échangé. Très réactif, il a répondu à chacune de mes questions rapidement, même à distance, ce qui a rendu le séjour encore plus agréable. S’il y avait vraiment un point à améliorer, ce serait l’absence de chauffage dans la salle de bain, qui peut être un peu fraîche, surtout en hiver. Mais cela reste un détail comparé au reste du séjour.
• Liam (8/5): Great location and value for money! - Amazing location Having to pass the pub toilets on the way up to the apartment which smell really bad
• jorge (8/5): - localización y que estaba a buena temperatura viernes y sábado el karaoke del monstern tavern se escucha demasiado
• Vicky (10/5): -
• Rob (9/5): Busy and enjoyable - Great location
• Kevin (10/5): Top appartement. - De ligging van het appartement was top! Midden in het centrum met alles op loopafstand eromheen. De kamer is vrij basic maar had alles wat je nodig had voor een paar daagjes te overnachten in Londen.
• Danilo (10/5): -
• Ali (6/5): Value and Location for One Night - - AMAZING location - Spacious - Good value for proximity to theatres etc - Nice little amenities with the microwave/kettle and fridge - Clear entrance instructions - Sofa bed had been pre made up for our arrival which was a lovely touch - Generally Clean - Bed is a little squeaky - Although mainly clean, there were a couple of spots that may have needed attention but in easy to miss places so not a huge issue and it could do with a bit of a general freshen up and maybe a plug in air freshener The place was good for what we needed for a value stay for one night to visit the theatre because of it's proximity etc, but please be aware that this place is not for you if: - You can't handle stairs. It's a decent way up with no lift - You can't sleep through noise (you're right in Leicester Square, you can't get that location without the noise from the clubs etc that accompanies it) Does the job for a single night :)
• Damian (1/5): Its a scam. Fraudulent listing! - Its a scam. Fraudulent listing! Its a scam. Fraudulent listing!
• Chandra (10/5): We were very satisfied and happy with the place - Very central , clean, affordable, no fuss to book The only thing that we would have like to add on the property is a full body mirror which is very handy for us group of ladies staying on the property . Otherwise , it was a perfect budget accomodation.
• Whittle (9/5): -
• LUIGI (6/5): - L'appartamento è centralissimo, a pochi metri da Leicester square. Considerata la localizzazione (proprio sopra un locale) la sera c'è rumore fino a tardi. Il secondo letto va bene per due ragazzi, è piccolo per due adulti.
• Wojciech (6/5): - I like clean of appartment Dislike the noise coming from the pub of below, cigarette smell in the stairs, old fashion not well operating windows
• Wai (3/5): I don’t come again - Location very good The step very bad , smell so bad
• JUAN (10/5): Excelente si no vas con niños - Ubicación La entrada
• GASTON (8/5): -
• Ryan (3/5): Filthy room, disgusting stairs, and constant noise from the nearby ba, definitely not recommended. - The location was great, centrally located in the city center Disappointing Stay The location was central, which was convenient, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end. The stairs leading up to the room were absolutely disgusting, dirty and clearly not maintained. The building is right next to a bar, and the toilets for partygoers are located near the same entrance, which made it feel chaotic and unhygienic. The room itself was filthy: unclean surfaces, a bad smell, and not at all like the photos. I definitely wouldn't stay here again or recommend it to others.
• Kirsty (10/5): Good Stay - There was lots of space in the room and everything you could possibly need. Amazing location. Will stay again. Couldn't fault the room at all. Maybe adding a fan for hot days would be good as it was very hot during my stay and unfortunately couldn't keep the windows open during the night due to the loudness of Leicester Square. Although that is through no fault of the room.
• Hariharan (6/5): Pleasant - Excellent location. Superb value for money. The flat was clean and had everything we required for our stay. I would definitely consider staying again if the below points were addressed! The access to flat was dirty (really dirty). There was no lighting for the first 3 flights of stairs (there's 5 flights). The stench from the toilet (flat is above a pub) was awful while walking upto the flat.
• Jaidyn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlotte (7/5): Good - Amazingly central and surprisingly spacious for the location. The staircase to the apartment passed smelly pub toilets. It was very loud (although this is to be expected given the location)
• Traceyski (7/5): Good -
• Felicity (5/5): Wrong app, should be on air bnb - Requested a. Early check in, However the host didn’t get back to me until I needed to check in. 1pm. This property is on the wrong app. Booking via booking.com I was thinking is a hotel style apartment however this is more for air bnb. The towels and sheets are definitely very cheap and different feel overly clean. The stairs smelt awful and very dirty.
• Elizabeth (8/5): Leicester Sq - Couldn't be a better location. Everything I need. Very clean and well presented. An excellent supply of the essential items. Tea, coffee, loo rolls, etc. Totally reliant on the Internet for entry into the accommodation. Perhaps text message? Entrance is a little off-putting. (Owners possibly can't do much about that). Some written info would have been useful, WiFi password, how to use TV, did not master that one.
• Hege (9/5): A great stay very central at Leicester Square, well-equipped apartment, good for a family of four - Very central apartment, high up, good size for a family of four, however the coach was a bit narrow. All we needed was there. Very good with the coffee and milk, and the toilet paper already in place. Very good communication with the landlord We would have liked 2 quilts for the coach since 2 sister was sharing, and it was a bit narrow. Would also have liked a bread knife - to cut bread
• Carole (8/5): Was sufficient for what we needed it for. - Its location The sofa bed isn’t big enough for 2 people. The staircase going up to the flat wasn’t the best going past the smelly toilets and disused kitchen.
• Hugh (9/5): Great value and location - Location, great value, spacious
• Beverly (7/5): Convenient location, clean room but difficult to sleep due to the noise levels - The location was very convenient for the West end theatres and attractions. It was clean Very noisy, some noise was expected due to the location, however didn’t expect building work directly opposite which started at 7am, obviously nothing the proprietors can do about this. Also curtains very thin so room bright at day break.
• Julie (7/5): Good -
• Raj (10/5): A gem of a location, with ample facilities. - Booked for proximity to Theatres in and around Picadilly. Great Communication from the host. Details for key code sent via Booking.com and text message. The rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floor, but it's really not an issue. Felt safe and spacious. Tesco and Boots are 5 mins walk. Food is available around the area till the early hours. Zoo club is next door but we had no issue with sound. The heating was excellent. Microwave and kettle and toaster provided as well as cuttlery. WiFi and a smart TV are great for music. Shower was hot, and towels provided. Would recommend and will use again 100%. So glad we found this room/apartment. Nothing to fault at all.
• Nirenderi (10/5): Exceptional - Very well located and very clean The stairs up 3 floors but once you get into the flat, the stairs are worth it.
• Selina (8/5): Perfect location and super clean! - Super clean, spacious apartment in a perfect location! Walking distance to all of the major attractions. Nice hot shower, comfortable double bed and sofa bed were welcoming after a full day of walking and sightseeing. No heating in the bathroom so was a tad cold however the heating in the main room itself was nice and cosy.
• Caroline (5/5): Passable - Location is excellent, flat is spacious. Tea and coffee making facilities were a bonus. Very noisy until well into the morning. Bathroom was freezing cold.
• Benita (8/5): Great location - The location was excellent, on Leicester Square, and close to the station. The apartment is very spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a nice bathroom. There was a lot of noise from the square until the early morning hours. The staircase up to the 2nd floor is steep and narrow, it may be difficult if you have large suitcases. The furnishing is very basic and bland, but the ample space makes up for it. I requested access details from the day before and 3x on the day that I arrived and only received it when I eventually called on arrival.
• Maeca (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (5/5): Very noisy, but convenient location - Fridge, iron, hairdryer and shower gel The music blasting from a venue right below till at least 3 am – couldn’t sleep at all from the vibrating thumping noise! Also very noisy the next morning – I suggest they install thicker glass!
• Maria (10/5): We would definitely go back - The location was great The stairs wasn’t that bad.
• Jasmin (8/5): Very good -
• Belén (10/5): Nice apartment in a perfect location - The apartment was very nice and comfortable!! Ideal for short stays. The location is absolutely perfect, we walked everywhere from there, but you also have the subway one block away that takes you anywhere you need to go. The host was very kind and helpful!! We’d come back. Third floor with no elevator, not a problem for us but good to mention!
• Evelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was well made, solid and nice looking. Very clean and spacious Please, make it possible to open the door to the fire escape.
• Lutz (10/5): Nice clean flat with a view to parts of Leister Square - Great location, nice flat. It was clean, had a good shower and a comfortable bed and sofa. Would definitely come back. A larger mirror would be great and access codes to flat and wifi came after request, should be provided earlier without asking for them upon arrival.
• Nikki (10/5): Exceptional -
