Guest Reviews
- Gregor (5/5): Passable for the price but more cons than pros I’m afraid - Location is good, tubes nearby and close walk to the city. The host was helpful. It is cheap The property was a bit messy. There was a bleeping fire alarm the whole time outside that you could hear. The walls are thin and can hear other guests. Bed is that old and soft. The water was also cold one morning
- Figols Muntalt (7/5): The host was awesome! - The bed. The cictern of bathroom.
- Alžběta (5/5): - Location was great, 20 minutes to Tower Bridge by walk. Underground 15 minutes by walk, buses just around the corner. Land lord is a nice and helpful guy. It would be good to clean the appartment sometimes. I've never seen such a messy place ever. Kitchen was the worst, bedroom was a bit better.
- Beatrice (8/5): - Propietario molto disponibile e accogliente, letto comodo, posizione comoda per i mezzi (sia metro che autobus) e per raggiungere la zona del Tower Bridge. Bagno e cucina un po' disordinati, con un sacco di oggetti appoggiati sui vari ripiani da molto tempo; anche nella stanza oggetti dimenticati da altri ospiti e non necessari
- Akif (8/5): - Host is very friendly end helper.
- MICHAEL (7/5): - Ashraf is a lovely guy ready to help us for our trip!
His recommendations were amazing!

- Alessandro (8/5): Comfortable, good price, great owner - The place is exactly what you would expected from a British apartment, cozy and soft.
The owner was the best part of the house, warm hearted and very kind. Carpets in the bathroom
- Korytář (8/5): -
- SANDRA (9/5): Très bon choix pour allier économie et praticité. - Excellent rapport qualité prix, localisation, propreté, pratique, disponibilité de l'hôte, parfaitement conforme à ce qui est annoncé. Facilité accès aéroport, métro, vélos. rien
- Főző (5/5): -
- Majorie (2/5): Nooit meer terug dan maar wat meer geld uitgeven - Zo ontzettend vies .. de gastheer erg aardig locatie goede uitvalsbasis maar dat was het ook .. Schoonmaak hygiëne
- Alina (8/5): -
- Coveri (9/5): - Struttura accogliente e posizione ottima.
Il proprietario della struttura è una persona splendida, gentile ed accogliente che sa dare ottimi consigli.
Camera calda e pulita.
- MARIA DEL MAR (10/5): Charming - The host was the best thing of our stay. Great location and clean inside. Wouldn’t recommend it to female solo travelers, because how the neighborhood feels.
- Mogens (6/5): Det er meget billigt men heller ikke mere værd - Meget centralt beliggende Udlejer er meget flink og venlig
- Leandro (6/5): Bien conectado y dueño amable pero le falta limpieza a fondo - No estaba lejos del centro , bien conectado: el autobús 15 pasaba cerca (tenía muchas paradas y por eso tardaba un poco pero bien ) el tower bridge estaba a 10-15 min andando
El dueño fue especialmente amable; nos explicó muchas cosas útiles sobre la zona y siempre se mostró muy simpático y atento.
La habitación tiene pestillo y la cama era cómoda Mi experiencia en el apartamento no fue demasiado buena. Al llegar, me encontré al dueño dentro de nuestra habitación rezando, algo que me resultó bastante incómodo y fuera de lugar.
Además, el baño estaba sucio y no invitaba nada a ducharse; de hecho, me duché con chanclas por si acaso . La cortina del baño también estaba sucia y había moqueta por todas partes, que entiendo que es común en Londres, pero personalmente no me pareció higiénico.
Tenía muchos trastos y el water le costaba tragar y el agua de la ducha tardaba 15 min en calentarse .
La cocina estaba llena de trastos y desorden, así que finalmente no nos sentimos cómodos usándola para cocinar. En general, la estancia no cumplió con nuestras expectativas.
Sé que es un piso compartido y no se le puede pedir más pero le falta limpieza de trastos y buena limpieza en el baño .
- Haseeb (10/5): The best choice ever - The best place to live in ❤️ I love everything the location and the perfect for everyone work travelling or anything loved it
- Pavlina (9/5): -
- Tadeusz (7/5): - Dobra lokalizacja. Wyposażenie kwatery bardzo stare.
- Irene (7/5): -
- Maria Eugenia (7/5): Just average but if I had to I could stay there again. - It was the kind of place where you go and sleep. The bed and pillows were good. The room was spacious but it had a strange smell. The other guests were nice and quiet. The bathroom and kitchen were full of things that seemed nobody used ever. During my four day star nobody came to clean up.
- Sayed (10/5): -
- Markus (4/5): Friendly owner, but the place is in bad shape - I can just affirm what most other reviewers have written. There is one big advantage of this room: The owner is friendly and helpful. He let me get to my room a few hours before the regular check-in time because I had caught an early flight, and when I accidentally locked myself out of my room one night, I could call him and he helped me to a spare key. So I'm giving extra points for this. However, the place itself does not warrant a positive review at all, and the main reason for this is the lack of cleanliness. The whole flat was full of junk that has obviously not been moved or cleaned in a long time - dead plants, piles of old letters, unused cleaning equipment that is covered in dust. The kitchen in particular was full of half-used boxes of cornflakes, pasta etc., which were months, sometimes years past their best-before-date. The desk in my room was covered in scratches. The mattress was really hard and beaten up on one side and flat on the other. The water tap in the kitchen was full of rust. The carpets were dirty. The hallway was covered in a strong, unpleasant smell. Overall, I would say that the whole place needs a proper professional deep cleaning, and most of the furniture needs to be replaced.
- Lujan Delgado (10/5): -
- Olga (10/5): Великолепно за свои деньги! - Очень милый вариант по доступной цене!
Там всего две комнаты с поэтому проблем с туалетом и душем не возникает, они не бывают часто заняты.
Чисто, удобно, район своеобразный, но все рядом есть, много станций метро и всё удобно Нет такого, я ожидала много худшего

- Mayra (7/5): -
- Celestina Rocha (6/5): I expected a simple house, but one that showed more care and consideration for guests. - Privacy, with no disturbing. Many public transport around. The host is friendly. The house arrangements, toilet with dead plant, bathroom with personal objects, messy kitchen, worn out furniture in the bedroom, It reveals little consideration to the guests. Just a little bit effort the house would be proper for hosting guests.
- Ts'epe (6/5): - Prepare own breakfast yes
- Simone (10/5): - La disponibilità del proprietario
- Eric Leone (8/5): Great Value for money, transport and groceries close by and cozy room. - This place is a cosy room with great value for money. Ashfar is the warmest host you could imagine, offering clear instructions and also assistance with anything you need. The location is multiculturally vibrant (S/SE Asia?) and has a lot of character, as it is also one of the oldest parts of london. It feels quite different from areas like the typical touristic parts of London. Transportation is few minutes away, either Shadwell station or a short walk to the north you will find Whitechapel station. There are a lot of grocery and food shops close by. In my case I needed a place to stay for a conference and went out a lot every day, so I didn't need any fancy amenities aside from basic bathroom and bedroom. For that, this place was great :) Nothing bad to mention tbh. Depending on different preferences, the place has the basic needs and the area might not be everyone's favourite as it is an older part of London, but to others it might be super interesting so I suggest to research a bit and see if it's normally something you like to see when you travel. If it's the typical London attractions that you want to see, they're only around 30- 40 mins by tube anyway.

- Kieran (10/5): Great find for London! - The host is very friendly, and gave us lots of tips upon arrival. He also let us help ourselves to tea/coffee. Very prompt response to messages. The room was spacious, the bed was also very comfy. Location is 5 mins from the nearest tube stop so ideal. Nothing given the price on the low end for London!
- Amy (8/5): nice place at very good price - The host is a wonderful man with a lot of information to share. The room was fairly basic, with the bathroom right down the hall. It is about two blocks from Shadwell Tube station and easy to get around. The neighborhood is a bit rough, but encountered very nice people. Would book again with no problem. Great value for the money.
- Bappyy (7/5): Good -

- Vladimir (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, a very nice host and a room that's quite spacious (much bigger than photos would show) with a super comfortable bed! In addition, considering the crazy prices of London at the moment, it was quite affordable too! Highly recommend.
- Roushal (6/5): Pleasant -
- Vlastimil (6/5): Pleasant - Excellent communication on the phone and face to face. Incomplete address, which made made difficult to find the flat. In the facility there are many used things/garbage to throw out. I would recommend to get rid of it.
- Reem (10/5): Awesome - The host was really really nice and easy to talk to. The accomodation is near tower bridge so that’s a plus . NA

- Mateusz (10/5): Exceptional -

- Borami (3/5): Poor -
- Luana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellen (8/5): Good -
- Maryam (9/5): Confortable and the host verry avaible and kind, i felt safe -
- Sıla (9/5): It is so affordable place to stay during your trip. It is close to the center. Thanks Ashraf for his help and hospitalit -
- Evert-jan (6/5): Cheap room that could use some love - The host was very friendly. And the location is convenient. Noise from guests from 1.30 till 3 at my first night. The second night they (host and friends) moved out immediately when i said i needed some sleep so that was better.
The room is very cheap but as others have pointed out, it needs some love and especially lots of stuff could be thrown out. There were at least 25 items in the bathroom that could be thrown away, or stored in a cabinet or something. And if a plant has died its time to throw it away 🙂. Simple things like that could improve the place a lot.
Oh and I think better direction instructions could be put on booking.com. The host was helpful but the address is incomplete.
- Marin (7/5): Good - The host was great and gave me some useful tips on how to see as much as possible in London. At night it was very quite outside. This accommodation is not a bad option for 1-2 nights, but for more nights it is better to find something closer to the city center. The location is not bad if you want to be near Tower Bridge (20 minutes walk), but it is a bit far from other city attractions. The locks on the toilet are very sharp, you have to be very careful not to cut yourself.
- Eva (5/5): My stay was OK, but I won't be back - too far from everything that makes you opt for the east. - Ashraf, the owner/manager was very kind. Far from the tube station. Not an interesting location - just a tad bit too far from all places that would have the location compensate for the lack of charm.
- Silvymj (8/5): unpretencious central room with a very friendly host - the location was good, pretty central. the host was very helpful and friendly. the room was decent size and the bed was comfortable the location didn't feel very safe at evening. although the sheets and towels were clean, the room wasn't as clean. the bathroom and the toilet are separate rooms.
- Jakub (9/5): Exceptionally helpful landlord -
- Robert (7/5): Spended location & affordable. - It's a fantastic location with a very friendly and helpful host.
The stress of the underground is not something you need to worry about as everything is walking distance.. All the places I wanted to go were less than an hour walk which is nice as you get to explore the city rather than being on a train like most locations in London.
I highly recommend this place if you're not to fussy and want a decent location at a very affordable price. Room is quite small, a TV would have been nice but I knew, I didn't have one before purchasing so not really a bad thing.
Very hard apartment to find, host did immediately come and meet me outside so was not kept waiting for very long.
Bed was uncomfortable, mattress needs changing.
- Kriti (7/5): Good -
- Hels (9/5): Superb - Great hostess
- Waqas (8/5): Very good -
- Cabubas (10/5): Worth the money. Owner was very responsive. - Location and the bed. None.
- Ivan (6/5): Pleasant - Great host Very far from city centre
- Paul (9/5): London rooms. - Lovely,helpful host, good location !
- Haq (7/5): Good -
- Ahmed (1/5): Bad -
- Johannes (9/5): Superb - The host is very helpful and friendly. If you need help with your trip he has plenty of useful hints for you. The location is good to reach and by foot you can reach the Tower Bridge in about 15 minutes.
If you look for a cheap, well-located place to sleep this is your place to be. The bed could be a little less bouncy but overall it is ok.
- Darcy (7/5): Good -
- Saleem (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anil (8/5): Very good -
- Disha (7/5): Good -
- Löliger (10/5): A wonderful Indian island in London. - I came to London - for the second time in 26 years - to attend a salsa workshop by a Colombian dancer at the Mulberry Sports Centre. This exceptional artist and also my friendly, helpful, kind and understanding host made a huge impression on me and inspired me.
Close to the city, own key also to the flat, comfortable bed, cosy bed linen, own bath towel, suitable power socket on request, many restaurants and grocery shops nearby (also open on Sundays); not only for short trips, but also for longer stays would be well conceivable. The room/flat is functionally furnished and in a quiet location. I was allowed to use the kitchen and the host even offered pastries for breakfast. I really appreciated the kettle for my coffee. I was given the exact address and even photos of the house before I arrived. The address was therefore easy to find. I didn't miss any signposting at the entrance to the house. Regarding the assessment of cleanliness: you can be happy about everything and everything can put you in a bad mood. It's a matter of choice.
Before my trip I read this: 'Our destiny is not determined by what happens to us... - although people tend to think so. Our destiny is not what happens to us. It is our reaction to what is happening in the present that determines the next moment." Well, in London I had many opportunities to experience how true this is!
Good value for money. For comparison: my dinner cost £24.12 (CHF 27.40) on my return to Zurich airport - excluding dessert. I ate "Vegi Malabur" and 1/2 naan bread at Foodland India + 1 drink from the kiosk.)
I felt very comfortable in London! Thank you very much. -
- Oriane (10/5): Exceptional - Held by a vert hospitable guy
Don’t hesitate in calling him to find the appartement
- Sandrine (8/5): Very good -
- Eliot (4/5): Good hospitality, adequate location and comfort BUT VERY BAD cleanliness. I don't recommend it. - I’m normally not a very demanding or severe customer. I am normally pretty easily satisfied without much or with what I am given. However, this time, I can’t help but give a bad review. Honestly, I don’t know how this establishment has such good reviews and such a good overall rating.
Let’s start with the positive first. As described in most of the other reviews, the host is very nice, welcoming, helpful and was available whenever there was a question or a request. Furthermore, it is indeed pretty cheap and does the job if you simply want a basic and affordable place to sleep reasonably close to the city centre. Moreover, the bed was pretty comfortable and clean. Now for the negative points. The cleanliness, I would say, is the main problem with the place. The room as well as the whole apartment are pretty dirty and messy. Lots of dust, crumbs, old stuff lying around and gathering dust, some stains and rot in some places and other small pieces of objects lying here and there on the floor. Some of the furniture is really old and used. The desk in my room, for example, was full of weird scratches and one of the chairs seemed like it had been left outside for a while. There are some flies in the toilets, in which there is also a smell, that isn’t that disturbing though.
However, all of this wouldn’t be as unpleasant if it wasn’t for a residual smell that fills the whole apartment. If I had to describe it, it’s like an old rotten carpet smell, which the floor is actually covered by, so this would explain its origin. But the most annoying aspect of it is that the smell permeated almost every one of my belongings, especially the clothing and the luggage/bags (basically, everything that is made of fabric) but also some of the electronic accessories. I have started washing my clothes and left some of my stuff in fresh air in hope that the smell will eventually go away. As of now, after a standard delicate program (at 30 degrees Celsius), the smell persists directly after taking the clothes out of the washing machine. However, it seems to vanish little by little when drying slowly in fresh air. Yet, I don’t know if it will be entirely gone when the clothes are fully dried.
Anyway, it shouldn’t be necessary to worry about that when coming back from a trip and this level of cleanliness shouldn’t even be tolerable by a host when considering making an apartment available for traveling guests.
I wouldn’t book it again, as I think there are some much better places available in London in a similar price range. The host was very nice and I have to apologize for this bad review, but I also have to be honest about my experience.
- Lani (10/5): Landlord was very accomodating and friendly - Very close to the train station. Easy to get into the city. 15min walk to the Tower of London
- Anca (10/5): London experience - Very close to the City center. There was a bus station nearby to Trafalgar Square and all the important touristic objectives. 15 min walk to Tower Bridge and Tower of London. The host very friendly and gave me valuable tips about local transport and he answered all the questions asked. Is not a luxury flat but is a very cozy and comfy. If you want to live the London experience completely, including living like a true londonese, definitely you should stay at London rooms. The plugs. I forgot that in London there are special plugs and for an European that might me a problem. I did not had an adaptor and in the announcement is not specified that the plugs are different, but in the end the owner solved my problem by lending me an adaptor.
- Saul (7/5): Good -
- Athanasios (8/5): Very good -
- Vladimir (8/5): Good place to stay - Perfect for solo traveling! The room was clean, the bathroom as well!
If you are looking for a place just to sleep shower and leave your luggage at it is absolutely perfect for the job!
The landlord was also really kind!
- Karen (10/5): Highly recommend if you're looking for an inexpensive stay nr the City of London. - Everything I needed, nothing I didn't. Host couldn't have been more helpful and great location: easy walking distance to City and multiple options for public transport but still quiet.
- Bulatović (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heny (9/5): Superb - Its very clean and the aminities are provided. Its very homey and quite. The location is very strategies, just near everywhere in central london
- Sandeep (10/5): Excellent value for money - It’s very comfortable and absolutely kind host. Nothing
