Guest Reviews
- Anna (3/5): Nie polecam. - Blisko metra. Pościel czysta, lodówka i mikrowela w pokoju. Bardzo głośno, nie da się spać, okna nieszczelne.
Pokój dość zaniedbany, wszystko lekko niedomyte.
- Marco (9/5): Tra i palazzi vetro ed acciaio della City una casa inglese accanto al pub! - La comodità del letto. La stanza, piccola ma razionale. L angolo cucina,frigo. Bagno molto comodo, ovviamente senza bidet. Il quartiere tranquillo durante il fine settimana. Rumore notturno dei netturbini del condominio. Finestre datate, con spifferi e mancanza di oscuramento.
- Jonah (5/5): Good overall - communication with owner was quick and helpful although parking was a massive hastle - Liked the location The parking
- Andrej (10/5): - I want ti say HUGE thanks to the host, cause their apartment are so great! And the communication was on the high level. The apartment was very clean, fresh, great kitchen and bathroom. And for the UK it was rather huge )
The location is excellent! 2-3 minutes to the tube, 10 minutes walk to the Shoreditch and 15 minutes to Liverpool station. So you access to all activities.
Highly recommend! And definitely I will return;)
- Ivan (5/5): -
- Nicolas (8/5): makkelijk verblijf en je hebt alles wat je nodig hebt. - makkelijk te bereiken en een leuke buurt.
De bedden waren comfortabel.
De accommodatie had alles wat je nodig had van een mini keuken tot een eigen badkamer. de ruiten zijn enkel glas dus lawaai van de staat was te horen.
Hoewel je kunt zien dat er gekuist is geweest was het niet meteen super proper, bv de waterkoker moet eens uitgewassen worden enz.
- Rachel (10/5): Great place to stay near Tower Hill. - Great location for where we were visiting. Great communication from host. Beautifully done, and comfy bed. There was no milk in the fridge, so we couldn’t have a cup of tea in morning, would have been nice, but not a big deal. Also the key lock box was quite difficult to open. It’s a good system but as we’re a bit older, we struggled with it.
- Sam (8/5): - Location was excellent The staircase down to the apartment in the basement was very steep
- Jorge (7/5): -
- Emma (10/5): Super ! Super quartier, le lit est très confortable et l’appartement est propre - L’appartement était clean, et bien situé
- Joshua (10/5): -
- Jenny (8/5): - Good communication with the host. The property is clean. Small but worth it for the money. Good location, 3 minutes walk to Aldgate East station. The blind must be change to block out curtains. I dont like waking up early and i prefer my room is dark.
- Hendrik (5/5): Tolle Lage - nicht sehr gepflegte Wohnung. - Die Lage war sehr gut, tolle Anbindung zur Tube. Das Zimmer, besonders das Bad, war nicht sehr gut gereinigt. Wir mussten erst selbst sauber machen. Nachts beängstigende Geräusche aus dem Treppenhaus, da hat jemand sehr heftig gestritten.
- Caroline (4/5): Disappointing - The hallway was shabby and the decoration of the appt was also pretty poor. It is far from a ‘boutique’ apartment:
- Michael (6/5): - Tolle Lage. Nahe der Underground gelegen. Brick Lane und Tower Hill auch gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Supermärkte in der Nähe. Hoher Geräuschpegel sowohl von der darüber liegenden Wohnung als auch von der Straße.
- Irina (1/5): Do not recommend - Location is the only positive point of this property. I had a terrible experience with this property in London. My colleague was staying there, and from the start, it was a disaster. There was no hot water, and the water pressure was practically non-existent. The flat itself was dirty when he arrived, just really unacceptable. Then, to make things worse, the owner called me at 8 p.m. asking why he was not there, check-in was at 4 p.m., and he had already taken the keys because everything was supposed to be settled. It was a complete mess, he had to switch rooms last-minute, and the overall amenities were just awful. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
- József (10/5): -
- Žan (10/5): -
- Claire (4/5): - The location was good. The apartment was clean. No communication from host on number given when electricity went off. Poor water pressure sometimes none at all coming out of kitchen sink.
I did not feel confident with the electrics too many devices to plug in, no plug near to kitchen space. No bathroom plug ans someone's razor head stuck down sink plug.
- Sabrina (10/5): Es war ein reibungsloser und sehr guter Aufenthalt. - Die Unterkunft ist für den günstigen Preis sehr zentral und es sind mehrere Busse und Bahnen zu Fuß entfernt (4 Minuten).
Der Host hat sich von sich aus erkundigt, ob alles gut gelaufen ist und es lief auch alles reibungslos.
Ich war mir zunächst unsicher, da sehr oft davon berichtet wird, dass es zu laut ist. Das kann ich nicht so bestätigen. Ja, die Fenster sind nicht schalldicht, aber es ist auch eine nicht so befahrene Straße und dadurch hatte ich in keiner Nacht Probleme zu schlafen oder bin dadurch aufgewacht.
- Giorgia (9/5): Comoda e accogliente - La disponibilità degli host
- Janice (1/5): - Handy location for access to workplace The description, facilities listed and photos of room were not accurate.
Some spot lights in ceiling and shower were not working
Low water pressure issues.
No hot water on one day.
No washing machine easily accessible. When I got access to a washing machine there were no drying facilities.
Electrical wiring haphazard with only 4 main sockets available. Appliances, internet, TV and electrical fire all plugged into a multu sockect extension.
Electric hotplate fitted in draining board of kitchen sink an electrical hazard.
Rubbish and packages partially blocking hallway
Main door access left open one evening left me feeling less than secure in this room.
Clumps of hair bathroom floor, disposable razor in shower, filthy windows and blinds and remnants of fatty food solidified in microwave gave impression that room not cleaned thoroughly between occupants.
Fire exit was down spiral staircase which considering risk of electrical fire did not reassure.
Radiator and heated towel rail did not work. A plug in electrical heater was available with plate underneath to replace broken leg.
Dumping ground for various superfluous electrical appliances.
- Sophie (9/5): Would stay again! - We absolutely loved our stay here in London. The apartment was decent and in a nice area. Super close to the Tube, Overground and Tescos.
We personally loved the bar that was down stairs super convenient to grab a quick drink.
The host was great and responded quickly. We look forward to coming back in the future! The only things that we disliked was the blowdryer. It’s a silly thing to add but the blow dryer doesn’t work and makes a horrible noise once you turn it on. We were scared it would short circuit.
- S (10/5): Great location and space - The property management was extremely helpful and kind. The room had everything I needed and was exactly as described. The stairs are very narrow and tight, it was a little bit of a struggle to get my luggage up since I was on the 3rd floor.
- carola (10/5): -
- Miguel (5/5): Aprobado justo. - La situación y que era amplio. La cama era muy blanda, te hundes en el colchón. La cocina esta basada en una placa eléctrica y un mini frigorífico y microondas con utensilios bastante deteriorados y algo sucios. El apartamento está situado encima de un pub, por lo que se escucha música (imprescindible tapones para dormir). La última noche además estuvimos sin agua caliente hasta la salida del días siguiente.
- Florencia (7/5): Okay - The location was perfect. The apartment was okay for the price. The host gave us a great wine for Christmas as a present, we really appreciated the thought Cleaning could be greatly improved, there was an empty hariboo package under the bed, a cigarette butt next to the kitchen. Many things didn’t work well like the stove knobs, the heating. The bathroom was super cold. Utensils and kitchenware were random, we found it hard to cook there.
- Sarah (8/5): - Great location , comfy studio apartment, great communication
- Luke (4/5): - The door has a keyhole gap in it, could see straight through so I had to cover it. The neighbours upstairs were banging loud walking across the floors until around 2am. Noise was loud from the road but I find the city buzz fairly tranquil so it didn't affect me but felt like the window was open.
Door lock for the room didn't make me feel the most safe so sleep was broken at most noises.
- Beverley (5/5): Clean room with comfortable bed but depressing room - Lockbox wasn’t labelled
Horrendous steep spiral stairs
Poor water pressure in the shower
- El idrissi (8/5): -
- Xian (6/5): - The location is excellent, within a 10-minute walk of two subway stations, and about 15 minutes by subway to the city center. The room is fully equipped, and the host responds promptly. The staircase is very narrow, making it inconvenient to carry large luggage up and down. There were some minor issues upon check-in, and it was a little inconvenient for the landlord to call maintenance the next day. I highly recommend bringing your own earplugs, as the single-layer windows offer very little sound insulation, and road and vehicle noise can significantly disrupt sleep. There is no central heating in the house; you will need to use an electric heater.
- Carlos (5/5): -
- Annabelle (1/5): Room was so bad and noisy we only stayed 1 night instead of 2 and found somewhere else to stay - A good location near to the tube station Very noisy due to no double glazing and creaking floor upstairs. Room tiny and kitchen area not as good as shown in pictures was more like a bedroom than a studio flat. TV too old and wouldn’t connect to streaming services like advertised. Room had not been cleaned ready for check in so I had to phone and wait another hour.
- Laura (8/5): A wonderful flat - Posto centralissimo , host super gentile e super disponibile, cucina fornita , a misura per una coppia per vivere una weekend in un tipico appartamento londinese . Unica pecca è la vicinanza con il pub che durante il fine settimana fa musica fino a tarda notte.
- Mélanie (6/5): -
- AnnieLisa (8/5): - Super cosy room!
Small cozy room with private bathroom (plus a fridge and basic kitchen facilities) close to the city centre.
The tube is 3 minutes away. The street is quiet and away from traffic.
The host is also super friendly! Automatic check-in is easy, too.
A perfect place for a birthday holiday! :)
- ebru (10/5): -
- Jones (10/5): Perfect little appartment - It was central to where I needed to be Shower wasn’t the greatest as the shower head keeps falling down
- Margherita (7/5): Tutto sommato un buon soggiorno, appartamente abbastanza pulito e in una posizione ottimale. Le scale erano veramente mo - Ottima posizione! Vicina alla metro Le scale molto pendenti, i fornelli non funzionavano anzi hanno fatto saltare anche la luce appena accesi
- Stuart (2/5): In need of a competent maintenance professional! - Decent location and plenty of hot water. Most of the ceiling lights were out or flickered. The electric sockets were seriously out of order (I plugged my phone in overnight only to discover in the morning it hadn’t charged). Several of the sockets simply didn’t work. When I opened the fridge the facia fell off the cooker! The shower didn’t drain properly.
- María Lucía (6/5): Regular. - La ubicación estaba bastante bien, a media hora del centro en transporte público. La comunicación con el anfitrión impecable, era servicial, atento y eficaz. Estaba bastante sucio, colchón muy fino y blando. No concuerda con las calidades que se muestran en las imágenes. Escaleras empinadas y claustrofóbicas.
- Satish (8/5): -
- Cyrill Miniot (5/5): - L'emplacement Le studio est très bruyant!
- Jurgen (7/5): Prima uitvalsbasis voor een paar dagen Londen. - Het appartement is vlakbij metrostation Aldgate East gelegen en daarmee een prima uitvalsbasis voor een kort verblijf in Londen. De kroeg om de hoek The Black Horse is een mooie plek om de dag af te sluiten. De douche heeft op een tweetal momenten in de ochtend geen water gegeven. Even later was er wel voldoende water om lekker te douchen. En het tweepersoonsbed was klein (twijfelaartje). Maar als ik weer naar Londen zou gaan zou ik deze accomodatie zo weer boeken.
- Danila (10/5): -
- Amber (3/5): Not worth the £162 they charged. - The bed was comfortable and the bathroom appeared to have been more recently decorated than the room, though it wasn't entirely clean (grout around the shower door looked a bit funky). The keys were not in the lockbox that I'd been told to open, so initially I couldn't get into the property. I called the emergency contact number and they very rapidly rang me back and told me to try a different keybox. The staircase was very narrow which made it tricky to get my case upstairs. There was another lockbox right outside my room, which made me concerned that there might be another set of keys on the premises that someone might be able to access; I didn't feel particularly secure. The room was tired and not completely clean, with dirty blinds. I was bitten in the night - unsure whether bed bugs or something else.
- sibel (6/5): -
- Kontessa (9/5): -
- Kristina (9/5): -
- Maurits (7/5): - Locatie Rommelig
- Mark (8/5): Great location and great easy to follow instructions - Great location and easy to get to the conference I was attending. I must say it was very clean and had everything I needed The religious materials left were inappropriate
- Simone (9/5): -
- Cinzia (8/5): -
- Maria Angelica (9/5): -
- Maria (8/5): Lovely place and comfy stay, would have been perfect if I could have had a bath. - The decor was lovely. There was plenty of space and it was in a good location. The facilities available surpassed my expectation too. There was no plug for the bath. As a sufferer of a chronic health condition the bath was the reason for booking as I knew I would be walking and exerting myself more than usual so I would need to soak. I ended up having to find a massage place where I could book a massage the day after we arrived which obviously was a cost I had not factored in! The stairs up to the apartment are very tight and spiral that make you feel quite claustrophobic and there is a smell that isn’t too pleasant in the hall and stairway.
- Enrico (5/5): - La cortesia e la disponibilità del gestore dell'appartamento sono state encomiabili ! Per il resto niente di particolarmente positivo ma non avendo altre esperienze probabilmente siamo allineati con altre strutture di queste dimensioni e prezzi. Essendo anche in pieno agosto forse il rapporto qualità/prezzo è corretto penso che almeno andrebbe messa una doccia o sistemato il doccino. per il resto forse mi aspettavo più spazio ma nel complesso, visto che ci dovevo solo dormire, è andato abbastanza bene
- Richard (8/5): -
- Grace (7/5): - The apartment is simple, clean and orderly, bed is comfortable, Overall, its a standard, clean space to stay and quite convenient from the Aldgate East station and moving around. Recommended for a single traveler. Spiral staircase to upstairs was hectic with my heavy suitcase, recommend to install a good lock for the apartment door, a little clutter at the entry verandah, replenish the soap unless its not part of the essentials to be provided, a little noisy if you like quiet.
- Arianna (8/5): - Stanza molto carina, tenuta bene, curata e pulita. Posizione ottima!
- Craig (9/5): -
- BALASINGAM (10/5): A very satisfied Solo traveller. - Studio has all the necessary facilities such as: essential kitchen items, washing/dryer, and dishwasher. Great lightings and good bathroom facilities. Area is kept very clean.
Excellent location with just 2-minutes walk to Aldgate East Underground train station. Also there is a Sainsbury Store about 2-3 minutes walk away where you can do all the necessary shopings.
Helpful property manager, who is reachable via phone. Would be better if there could be a " small office like table and a chair" available.
- Brett (8/5): Overall a Decent Stay - The place was stylish and well set up. The location was good and very close to Aldgate East station, making for easy tube rides throughout our trip. The staff communicated very poorly. There was a need to perform maintenance during our stay and it was treated as a "quick visit" from the maintenance team, expecting no more than 1hr. In the end it took over 3hrs and included a full sink removal and replacement. Our place was unaccessible during that time. Also, the staff seemed to prioritize quick replies (maybe for the sake of keeping up the Booking.com metrics?) but did not follow through. For example I asked about having a portable AC brought to us and was assured "someone would be with us" multiple times, but it never happened. It felt like they replied immediately to keep the metrics up, but did not take any time or ownership to actually follow up. On top of all that, there was a lot of mold in the shower. We were compensated for some of the concerns, but the communication and management was still disappointing.
- Karin (7/5): perfect basic and reasonably priced accommodation in exactly the location I needed - location, easy to access
secure and clean
great fan! it was very hot when I stayed basic level of furnishings
was next door to a bar but actually not too noisy
- Marian (5/5): Ok for the location - Great location ideal for bars and restaurants, check in and check out was easy and a WhatsApp number was provided in case of an emergency Nice fresh clean smelling towels and bedding plenty of hot water Right at the top of a lot of winding steep stairs very hot and fan provided was useless. Room could do with some TLC dirty stained rug only 2 out of 5 spotlights working lamp not working window blinds dirty.
A motorcycle parked outside alarm kept going off all night so didn’t get much sleep
- Anirban (8/5): Very good -
- Luciano (9/5): Estupendo Londres -
- Heather (7/5): Handy, value for money - Location, access, facilities Noise from the street, weird cupboard in closet, and no easy access for luggage
- Claire (6/5): Pleasant -
- Carlos (7/5): good spot for stayinbg in the City - spacious and very well located appartment, bathroom is also quite good curtain shades no so effective to block light and the street is a bit noisy
- Alexander (9/5): Superb - Wonderful location, nice apartment The water pressure in the shower is weak, but maybe it's normal in London 🙂
- Christopher (5/5): Passable - Decent location close to where I needed to be.. Easy check in and out via key box. Very noisy both from other guests in the building moving around and from outside. TV had a European plug so could not plug it in to use it. Fridge was a bit smelly.
- Vicky (9/5): Great place for short stay (not for big suitcases!) - Location is great - super close to transport links and shops and pubs etc It was lovely but if I’d had a suitcase I would’ve been very annoyed with the spiral staircase!!
- Bock (10/5): Fantastic Stay - What a fantastic stay! Just returned home to Canada after a perfect stay from April 1 to 13,
Locatuon: Ten minute walk to Tower Bridge. Five minutes to the underground. Within minutes of several grocery stores. Fantastic coffee place and pizza restaurant across the street. Several neighborhood pubs within minutes. Clean east end neighborhood.
The underground was on a direct line to Tower Bridge, embankment, and Westminster. Easy access to Heathrow Airport.
We felt very safe. The apartment was clean and exactly as advertised. Great communication with the owner!
Very comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen area. Everything we needed to cook with. The washer/dryer was perfect.
I will be back on my next visit. I did a lot of research, and this address is fantastic and overall great value. A real gem in London.
Did I mention that if you have an Anytime Fitness membership, the gym is on the same block.
I highly recommend it. Thank you again for a perfect stay.
- Dorothy (5/5): Passable - No warning about the very, very narrow spiral staircase to get up to the room. One of the Venetian blinds was broken and I could not find an adapter to plug in the television!
- Steven (9/5): Everything we needed for a good price - Centric. Clean. Had a small kitchen. Had evrrything we needed. Hot water worked fine. Bed was comfortable and the sheets were amazing. The shower is small and we had trouble going up the spiral stairs since they were so narrow.
- Stanimir.ni (4/5): Disappointing -
- Nancy (7/5): Good - Good location. Close to London Tower and restaurants. Soft bed,. The cooking area was stained
- Stegnjaic (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martin (6/5): Pleasant -
- Russell (8/5): Very good -
- John (9/5): Superb - This property was accurately described by the other reviewers, and met our needs. We found it easy to walk to various destinations, metro/bus stops, etc and there are a lot of restaurants around.
The stairs are narrow, but no bother for us. The street outside was quiet while we were there, the bed and bathroom clean... everything was good value.
- Janine (8/5): Very good -
- Lana (10/5): Exceptional - The location was excellent! It was close to the tube, pubs, restaurants and grocery stores. The suite was clean, well set up and comfy. We called with questions a few times and the owners were gracious and very helpful in making us comfortable and welcomed. If you have difficulty with tight stairs this may not be a good fit for you but we didn't mind at all. There was some noise from the street but, again, it wasn't a problem for us.
- Victoria (6/5): A pleasant stay in a well-located apartment. Everything you need for a quick trip. - Very comfortable bed, good linen and bedding. The room was cosy and seemed pretty clean. Instructions to check in were very clear. I had everything I needed for my quick work trip. An effort was made to decorate the apartment so it feels pretty and comfortable. Unfortunately the apartment gets a lot of noise and light from the road. I suppose not much you can do about it, also considering the flat is well-located very close to bank city and a number of train stops and trendy restaurants.
There are a few items that can do with a good handyman visiting, some loose fittings and trim/silicone that can be tidied up. I was a bit uncertain if I needed to leave my keys in the lockbox again when checking out. The lock on the room door didn't seem all that sturdy.
- Sari (9/5): Very good - Nice studio with very good location. 2 min walk to the Aldgate east underground station. We really enjoyed our stay here. 🥰
There are also many good restaurants within walking distance like Bife, La Tagliata and Barcelona Tapas bar. I would stay here again anytime. Only thing for us was lack of kitchenware. There were no knifes for example to cut any veggies for breakfast nor cutting board.
- Isobel (7/5): Good - The location was excellent. Very central, short walk to two subway stations. There's a small supermarket at the end of the street, 2 pubs and indian restaurant on the street. Also, a pizza restaurant. Walking distance to Shoreditch market, London tower, and sky garden and Liverpool street station. Check-in was straightforward, and instructions were clear. The room was clean and warm. Bed was comfortable. There was plenty of hot water, and the wifi worked well. An iron and small hairdryer were also provided. Although there are cooking facilities and a fridge, unfortunately there's no suitable table and chairs provided to sit and eat comfortably.
Decor was an interesting mix of furniture. it felt like we were borrowing someone's spare bedroom rather than renting an apartment.
The road was very busy at night and was noisy.
- Ernestanon (5/5): Passable - notified of code change but new code didn't work (original one did work) devilishly steep and narrow spiral staircase
Also a bit weird having what appeared to be other people's left over stuff (like opened packet of pasta + shampoo etc) in the room
- Matylda (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (6/5): Basic, functional accommodation - Convenient and well situated for our needs Only three out of the four over head bulbs were working
The property is centrally heated and guests cannot control the radiators. A separate electric heater was required.
The hot water was a bit sporadic
- Murooj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Έλλη (7/5): Good - The hosts were very helpful, understanding, friendly and easy to reach. They made sure we were ok and warm. Very clear instructions and easy distance check-in. Fresh sheets and towels. Fully equipped apartment! Nice neighborhood, close to the underground station, with many restaurants, pubs and supermarkets close. The room could have been cleaner, there was a lot of dust. Very low lighting (some ceiling lights weren't working). The shower water could have been warmer. Noisy- poor soundproof.
- Amanda (9/5): Excellent location, good value for money, excellent communication from host - This is a great property for the price and excellent location - the host sent easy and clear instructions on how to access the property and also called my mobile to make sure everything was ok - the room was very well kitted out and had a great decor and also had cooking and fridge facilities if needed. I would definitely recommend this property without any hesitation. I was in Flat 5 which meant I had to climb a couple of flights of windy stairs albeit they were small flights but I was informed about this and had the offer of help from the host if I had luggage to take up (which fortunately I didn't) - from the comfort factor the only reason I have not put top marks is that I found the mattress very soft and due to back problems I prefer a hard mattress - but I guess some people prefer a soft mattress so subjective.
- John (7/5): Very good location in London. - Location is excellent and very near to best metro lines. Great restaurants nearby. Landlady was very helpful and responsive, and did everything to make our stay pleasant. She quickly attended to a small problem we had in the apartment. The kitchen facilities were poor and not really set up for self cartering. Few provisions provided in the kitchenette. There is a pub immediately next door with outside deck adjacent the windows... and on two nights is was totally quiet, and on another it was rowdy till 11:00 when there is curfew. So the noise depends on the night and weather.
- James (9/5): Superb - Exceptional communication with the apartment owner.
- Collette (1/5): Don’t stay here! Overpriced! - Nothing Noisy cars bike traffic all night outside single glazed windows
Sash Window at back broken top wouldn’t stay up completely open only noticed when went to bed anyone could have climbed in and stole my things
Windows need cleaning
Spiral staircase awkward for access
Overpriced
Mugs were filthy so didn’t have cuppa
Mattress is memory foam all the bed was sunken on each side where bodies been led.
Curtains rubbish and light flooding in and all around the main door from hallway/staircase straight into the bedroom
Mouldy shower tray and really unpowerful shower
- Jogurnell (5/5): Passable - Convenient location. Water was cold in the morning so I had a cold shower. Also shower head kept flopping. Difficult to get up stairs with a case.
- Gary (7/5): Good -
- André (8/5): Pleasant stay - Great location. Nice area of the city.
Near underground station.
Quick and efficient communication with the host.
Functional room, decent size. Very clean.
Definitely would stay here again and recommend it to friends. Mattress too soft for me.
If it improved the light and sound insulation, it would be perfect
- Phil (8/5): Overall the property was comfortable for our 6 night stay and could be better with a few minor changes , generally we fo - Location , size of room , amenities Street noise , access stairs , bathroom doors , kitchen stools
