Guest Reviews

• Lloyd (8/5): -
• Pinelopi (5/5): - The apartment is in the basement. And it doesn't mention that anywhere! If I had 200 pounds for this apartment it would be a satisfactory apartment. Now at this price it's something average that's not worth its money. It was a basement apartment and had no security. The balcony door did not lock and the main door of the apartment was very easy to break into.
• Laura (1/5): Nowhere to sleep for the amount of guests booked?? No contact received back for the property at all - BROKEN BED NOWHERE FOR SOMEONE TO SLEEP. Blocked drain in the shower, when it drained dirt came back up. Hairdryer is no useable it doesn’t do anything other than make loud noise. No plug beside the TV so can’t be used? Pillow had what looks like blood stains on it. Quilt was old and falling go out of the duvet cover. Clothes left in the drawers so was there much of a deep clean done? Water was warm at all times and it seems like the heating was left on all of the time but down low so it was warm enough. Did have to turn radiator off in room during the night. The picture of the bathroom is not what is in the apartment but the bathroom isn’t that bad other than the clogged and dirty drains. Took over an hour for someone to answer us when we were informed we could drop bags for 12. We stood in the rain for a long period trying to get though finally someone contacted the cleaner inside the apartment and he let us in. He then came back to say the bed was broken and not to use it. I have tried contacting the property multiple times. I arrived to find out one of the two double beds were broken. This left us with a major issue and not enough room for everyone as we were not couples and only booked this accommodation knowing there was one bed each per person. The bath was completely blocked too so when having a shower water filled and kept coming back up. I’ve tried to contact many times to no answer. We would like a form of refund as it was a massive inconvenience for us as we stayed for 3 days and one person with nowhere to sleep.
• Repo (7/5): Family group - Location is really good The apartment wasn't clean (dirty marks on furniture and the floor was dirty, dust here and there), towels were clean but wet when we arrived. The magnetic lock in the front door of the building didn't work. There were laundry (sheets) in the laundry machine when we arrived. The photo of the toilet in Booking.com of this apartment was not taken from this apartment. The shower drain was slow, but there was plenty of hot water — enough even for eight people.
• Mille (2/5): Niet voor herhaling vatbaar - Fijne locatie, bedden waren oke. Er misten dingen in de keuken, zoals ovenhandschoenen en een theedoek. Ook was er geen föhn aanwezig, terwijl die wel werd beloofd. Bijna alle meubels zijn aan vervanging toe - die zijn kapot of gewoon slecht in elkaar gezet. De afvoerputjes in de keuken en badkamer lopen niet goed door. Hierdoor sta je in vies water te douchen. De wc-bril zit los. Er zit schimmel op de muren in de badkamer. De temperatuur van de douche is niet in te stellen. De vloer in de woonkamer is behoorlijk beschadigd. Het appartement ruikt muf. De entree naar het appartement is een gigantische rotzooi, met overal ongeopende brieven en pakketjes. Buiten zat een aantal avonden een dakloze voor de ingang. Op berichtjes richting de eigenaar wordt niet of nauwelijks gereageerd. We kregen gedurende ons verblijf een berichtje van Booking dat het appartement heeft aangegeven dat we niet waren ingecheckt, terwijl ik al wel contact had gehad met de eigenaar over het uitchecken. Hele vreemde gang van zaken....

• KONSTANTINA (9/5): -
• Pietro (5/5): PECCATO - Posizione. La cucina nuova e lo spazio esterno per fumare anche se non pulito. Pulizia e arredi scadenti.Consiglio una pulizia e una sistemazione dell'appartamento.
• AnniOli (1/5): Nicht noch einmal! - Nichts! Einmal und nie wieder! Apartement mit Self-check-in, Erklärung war gut. Apartment hat eine Grundsanierung sowie Grundreinigung mehr als Nötig. Maximal für 4 Personen geeignet!!! Die Fotos in der Anzeigen entsprechen nicht der Realität. Es war dreckig, muffiger Geruch. Schränke kaputt. Sämtliche Terrassentüren konnten nicht verschlossen werden. Wir haben das Apartment als Gruppe (6 Personen) gebucht. Eindeutig zu klein für unsere Gruppe. Gemeinsames Essen was nicht möglich. Terrassentür im Wohnzimmer kaputt, muss erneuert werden. In der Badewanne läuft das Wasser sehr schlecht ab! Fußleisten im Wohnzimmer defekt!!! Popcorn hinter der Couch, alte Flaschen neben den Schränken. Toilettendeckel locker. Backofen verdreckt, Töpfe sollten erneuert werden!!! WC Türschloss kaputt. Arbeitsfläche, sämtliche Mülleimer alles kaputt!!! Barhocker verdreckt, alle kleinen Kissen haben eine Erneuerung nötig. Waschmaschine zum kotzen. Spiegel Mangelware! Keine Möglichkeit Jacken aufzuhängen. Handtücher können nirgends vernünftig getrocknet werden. Für diese Schlecht Unterkunft sind selbst 100€ zuviel!!! Bitte bucht was vernünftiges in London!!!
• Réka (6/5): -
• Liesbeth (6/5): Mooi dichtbij alles, maar heeft een update nodig in meubilair en onderhoud. - Mooie locatie met supermarkt dichtbij en central Line metro op 15 min afstand. Soho 20 minuten lopen, dus ideaal voor theaterbezoek. Appartement is langgerekt met meerdere kamers. Op zich een hele mooie plek om vandaar uit Londen te ontdekken. Achterstallig onderhoud, kasten zijn wankel, badwater loopt amper weg waardoor je in vies water staat te douchen. Slechts 1 sleutel waardoor je niet vrij bent om te komen en gaan.
• Valentin (2/5): Disappointing. - Very convenient and central location. Staff didn't speak English. I had no hot water, and messaged them by Whatsapp and Booking. The communication with the host took a whole day for response just with a request to send them a picture of the boiler. Nothing was done to rectify till the end of my stay. No coverage by mobile operator or e-SIM within the apartment, alas they provided me with Wi-fi so I had some sort of communication.
• Anais (1/5): Enorme problème d'eau dans la baignoire !! - Nous étions 6 pour 1 seule baignoire, et dès le premier jour nous avons vu que l'eau ne s'écoulait pas correctement et stagnaient durant des heures. L'hôte devait faire venir un plombier (rien a été fait) et m'a dit d'utiliser la ventouse pour enlever ce qui bouchait (les cheveux et saletés des anciens voyageurs !!!!). Ce n'est pas à nous de faire ça car c'est déguelasse et que nous avons payé cher pour ce séjour. L'hôte ne répondait plus et n'a pas voulu faire de geste commercial. A fuir car les derniers jours nous avions clairement une piscine dans la baignoire qui ne descendait plus du tout.
• Tomas (7/5): Good -
• Aoife (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kimberly (1/5): Would not stay here again and would not recommend. - Nothing. I booked this apartment for the weekend with friends and I am very disappointed with it. The pictures do not resemble this apartment at all. On arrival there were loads of letters just shoved behind the door, and rubbish outside of the property which did not look great. The apartment was dirty, uncomfortable, did not feel safe and had an awful smell of dust. The apartment has been poorly maintained and cleaned (if they even have a cleaner!!). The sheets and cushions were stained, the seats in the livingroom were stained, drawers were hanging off and falling apart and there was a heater for the end bedroom which could not be used due to wires sticking out of the plug!! There was dirty laundry under the couch!! We were in apartment 1 and the door did not secure safely, a few hits and someone would have got in. There was a cupboard beside our front door which we heard people in all the time which made us feel very uneasy. The owners were not contactable during our stay either. I have attached photos of my stay however cannot post loads of photos so it can’t be justified!! I would not recommend this apartment to anyone.
• Manuela (4/5): Disappointing - the location the bath tub and bathroom sink was clogged. Asked the host to see what he could do, and got no answer from him.
• Vicky (10/5): Exceptional - The whole apartment was amazing it was clean throughout the beds and was so comfortable. Very local to all amenities. It has everything you need, and we will be back.
• Ray (9/5): Superb -
• Trang (8/5): Good location. Host is less in communication but very helpful. -
• Ray (9/5): Superb -
• Dolores (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giada (10/5): perfect home in central London - it was everything super cozy and clean, it is very central located next to a bus stop and to a lot of facilities (to have an amazing typical English breakfast we just had to cross the street!). really suggested, and even for that price! there is an internal patio as well 🥰 maybe windows need to be opened frequently as it had a little smell of humidity, but it wasn’t that terrible. (and I am pretty freak about it).
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (8/5): Very good - The WIFI stopped working in the middle of our stay, there was no way to fix it.
• Rosiana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joshua (1/5): Gray's Apartments was a nightmare - terrible host communication, a misrepresented apartment, and a filthy, smelly sp - Nothing. I had a terrible experience at Gray's Apartments. First of all, the host was incredibly difficult to communicate with. They were unresponsive to messages and calls, making it impossible to address any concerns. The apartment itself was a far cry from what was advertised. The photos on the listing looked nothing like the actual place. It was outdated, poorly maintained, and lacked basic amenities promised in the description. To make matters worse, the cleanliness of the apartment was appalling. It was dirty, dusty, and smelled musty throughout my stay. I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at Gray's Apartments given the host's communication issues, false advertising, and the overall unpleasant condition of the place.
• Anonymous (6/5): Great location, innacturate profile - Location and sense of security Apartment didn’t match images online. While the features I.e. number of beds/kitchette etc were accurate, the apartment photographed online was not the one we stayed in, and ours was to a lesser standard. There was also a plumbing issue in the bathroom that meant the shower/bathtub would fill and not drain effectively while you were showering creating a potential hazard.
• Nathan (9/5): we had a great time in London and our accommodation was exactly what we expected and needed, if we stayed for a lot long - clean and enough room for what we wanted could’ve done with a hair dryer and the shower a little feeble but I wouldn’t be complaining about stuff like that again not a problem but the outside could perhaps be brighten up a bit as it’s below ground very minor stuff really
• Diana (9/5): Superb - The location is excellent. I would book this place again if I'm in London. Nice kitchen everything that's needed if you're going to cook. Apt is small but slept 6 people comfortably. I didn't like that there wasn't anywhere to hang the towels.
• Bhim (5/5): Passable - Good location Nt much Larger place
• James (9/5): Superb -
• Aurora (2/5): Very poor - the location was really good. The apartment was close to the tube station and bus station which makes it easy to get around the city. Upon arriving at the apartment, I was shocked to discover that it was not only dirty, but also had stained sheets and towels. It was clear that the apartment had not been properly cleaned or prepared for our arrival. The stained sheets and towels were particularly unsettling, as they made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I did not want to use them, but I had no other options as I was not provided with any clean linens or towels. As a paying customer, I expected a clean and comfortable space, and it is disappointing that this was not the case. I believe that it is the responsibility of the host to ensure that their property is properly cleaned and prepared for guests, and this was not the case in my situation. After speaking with the host, the bed sheets got changed, but they still weren’t clean properly. Instead, they were still stained and unclean and the towels still had blood stains. Despite sending the pictures to the host, he insisted that they were cleaned.
