- Ehizodemen (9/5): -
- Gemma (7/5): -
- Medeinė (8/5): - Cozy, clean, was good location Toiled/Bathroom could have been a little more clean (dust), but it was good enough
- Mari Carmen (8/5): Todo bien, las explicaciones para entrar, muy confusas. - Muy buena calidad-precio Las explicaciones para entrar, fueron confusas. No estaba claro que nos toco el sótano.
Todo lo demás muy bien.
- george (3/5): Just Don't! - Posizione per quello che mi serviva L'annuncio indicava bagno privato ma era condiviso.
Stanza piccola e sistema di accesso iniziale molto difficile.
- Stefano (9/5): -
- Jan (4/5): Property agent demanded "mandatory fee for linen, towel and cleaning", which I already paid for - Convenient location. Could get hold of the property agent via Whatsapp and videocall them to locate the keybox.
Bed was comfy. Biggest annoyance: property agent contacted me outside booking.com and demanded a "mandatory fee for linen, towel and cleaning". Since it was clearly stated in my contract that this was already included, I refused to pay, which lead to hours of quibbling, wasting my time.
Since the property are not supposed to ask for money outside the platform, I also reported them to Booking.com for fee circumvention, but customer support was totally useless this time.
Second annoyance: check-in instructions were useless. Didn't explain that I got a basement flat, which was only accesible from the outside. Also, didn't explain that I had to access a second hidden key box instead of the main one.
Third annoyance: room had no windows at all, it didn't look like any of the pictures in the ad. There was a glass door leading to the kitchenette, but the glass was taped over with cardboard. Also, the bathroom was quite dark and dimly lit.
- Gonzalo (7/5): - La habitación era linda. Mucho ruido de habitaciones contiguas
- Ajaguani (8/5): Good review - Everything No toilet upstairs
- Ross (3/5): Deceptive advert - Location Deceptive advert. Smelly dingy little basement flat... Advertised with misleading pictures. Avoid.

- Peter (7/5): -
- Neil Charles (10/5): -

- Ahmed (1/5): Misleading, unsafe, and highly unprofessional — avoid this property ⚠️ - Only the neighborhood! * Misleading room allocation – booking changed last minute ❌
* Basement room did not match listing at booking.com at all 🏚️
* Moldy and dirty room 🤢🤮
* Access codes did not work 🔐🚫
* Asked to communicate via WhatsApp instead of Booking.com 📱⚠️
* Forced external payment for cleaning (£2.99) 💸
* Requested sensitive personal data (ID, selfie, signature) 🪪🚨
* Card details stored externally without consent 💳❗
* Replacement room was dirty and unprepared 🧼❌
* Very poor and unhelpful customer service 😡
- Maria Cristina (4/5): Justito para una noche - La ubicación está bien y el sitio para una noche de paso está pasable. El baño compartido es a compartir entre 4 habitaciones y la limpieza de este es bastante justita. Si volviese cogería el baño privado... En la escalera había una araña de dimensiones extraordinarias.
- Kryštof Gilich (6/5): Za ty peníze to splní účel - Levné ubytování v centru Londýna (skoro), pohodlná postel V kuchyni nebyl ani jeden kousek nádobí, dostal jsem kódy od vícero pokojů ačkoliv jsem měl jen jeden (tudíž nějaká vyšší bezpečnost zde určitě nehrozí), koupelna byla příšerná.
- Alex (1/5): SCAM - STAY AWAY! NOT THE PROPERTY IN THE PHOTOS. DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY AND TERRIBLE STENCH - Nothing. Absolutely horrible and mis-sold property - NOT the property in the photos, instead a dimly lit basement with terrible stench and an unclean living area - None of the amenities shown in the photos were present - The bathroom was disgusting. Everything. NOT THE PROPERTY IN THE PHOTOS. DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY AND TERRIBLE STENCH. COULDN'T SLEEP DUE TO UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOURS. From the start the online check-in process was invasive and asked me to take selfies, then the process broke and I couldn't access it any more - I had to contact the owner to resolve. When we arrived we were greeted with an overwhelming stench of cigarettes, then as we got to the room, there was an additional smell of human faeces. The images of the property on the Booking.com listing are NOT the same as the property we were given. It was a cold, dimly lit dungeon in a basement, NOT an upstairs room. The entire property was filthy and uncleaned, the floor was dirty, the sheets covered in human hair and the bathroom reeked and was also uncleaned. We arrived at 6PM and had to leave urgently for a dinner reservation, we returned late at night - otherwise, I would not have stayed here. Further, the ceiling was paper-thin and we could hear the upstairs neighbours stomping around, screaming and shouting until 1AM. I had to be awake at 6AM the following morning - this combined with the horrible stench of the entire property meant neither me or my partner could sleep and we're exhausted for an important day of work the following day. This was the absolute WORST property I have ever encountered and the host was unhelpful and complained when I contacted him when we returned from dinner about the state of the place. Further, the boiler and the fridge were noisy and in the adjacent room. There were glass coffee cups left on the draining board that were black with filth. Two of the power outlets were not working, nor was the bedside lamp. None of the amenities shown in the photos on the listing were present except for a TV that was half hanging off the wall, posing a safety hazard. Everything was absolutely terrible. Shameful and disgusting.
- Ahmad (4/5): - The room was spacious enough. The bed was clean and comfortable. After booking, an email was sent for "pre-check-in". This process included not only a very intrusive and probably illegal "identification" process, but also a mandatory "cleaning fee", which goes against the policies of this website (hidden costs). The heater didn't work. I asked the owner to turn it on. After three days of back and forth, they gave me a small but loud electric fan instead, which obvioulsy is useless for sleeping. Even on the sixth day of stay, the heater never warmed up. The room itself was large enough but the bathroom was extremely tiny. There was no real possibilty to wash your hands, unless you you went to a shared bathroom, even though the booked room was "en suite". The shower was also very small. There was a TV, but the remote had no battery juice left. The windows are old and one-layered so you can hear everything outside. Can't recommend, especially for this price.
- Monteiro (4/5): -
- Gabriele (1/5): -
- Peñalva Vidal (8/5): -
- Lara (5/5): - Good location and staff were responsive helping us get in! Walls were very thin and some other guests were very loud throughout the night.
Bathroom a little outdated/unclean (though could have been because of the other guests who were a bit rouge).
- Oghenemine (10/5): I had such a wonderful time and will love to stay here whenever I’m in London - It was really clean , comfortable and has the basic necessities The bathroom seemed a bit small but I’m a small guy so it was still a win win lol
- χάρης χριστινάκης (3/5): The room does not matching the original description - The room includes a double bed and a kitchen equipped with electrical appliances.
Just outside the kitchen, there is a beautiful courtyard with trees and squirrels, which creates a very pleasant atmosphere, even though we did not have access to it.
The location is good.
The heating is adequate.
The hosts responded our messages. The kitchen lacks sufficient utensils.
The bathroom is shared and located outside the room, despite the listing stating that there was a private bathroom, which is misleading.
The photos did not reflect the actual condition of the room at all.
The room is in a semi-basement and has a noticeable dampness issue.
The room was not clean, which made the stay unpleasant.
Although the hosts responded quickly, our request to move to a room matching the original description was not accommodated.
There are concerns regarding security: the door lock system uses a 4-button combination without a clear start/reset function, meaning it could potentially be unlocked by trying a small number of combinations(just 6).
- Maëliss (7/5): Agréable - Bon emplacement et bon rapport qualité prix La propreté de la douche
- Steven (5/5): - It was clean It was cold
- Scott (10/5): - Super comfy bed, spacious, good location
- camilla (9/5): piacevolo e confortevole - posizione perfetta, vicina a due linee del bus
luminosissimo la doccia, tende a perdere acqua se non controlli il flusso
si sentono tanto i rumori dalle stanze vicine
- Kieran (1/5): Other guests in my room - Rooms as advertised. Hairdryer in room, iron in communal area. Checked into our room as instructed using a key code and found other guests’ bags already in there so they’d clearly double booked our room. Terrible security as obviously we could have taken the other guests items, luckily we are good people! Obviously couldn’t stay there, no staff at the property and no answer on WhatsApp or phone call even the next morning. Booking.com had to find me alternative accommodation for the night. Avoid avoid avoid.
Also paid them directly £15 for late checkout AND they charged me £3 for miscellaneous cleaning fees etc which I feel should be included in the room rate so will need to get those back somehow from my bank
- Mohak (5/5): - someone tried to enter our room at night
- Yaaseen (2/5): Too many problems - Good location. Bed was comfy. 1: Check in is from 3pm, but they are now saying 4pm. Despite this, they didn’t even provide my check details until 4.45pm.
2: They gave me the wrong check in details. Instructions were so unclear. I was then on call with them for 25 mins whilst they figure I where I’m staying.
3: They make you complete an online form after booking. However, there’s a HIDDEN FEE for this place, that they don’t mention during booking. You have no choice but to pay the fee, if you want check in details.
4: Despite paying the fee, you don’t even get hand wash in the toilets.
5: The entire property smelt like weed. I was very uncomfortable here.
- Cruz (7/5): Boa localização,tudo bem limpo e confortável,porém não foi bem explicado qual seria o meu quarto entrei no quarto de out - Muito confortável e bem localizado estava tudo limpo Não tinha microondas como descrito e má informação de qual seria o meu quarto e má tempo para a resolução desse problema
- Godwin (2/5): Very bad place to stay - This place is bad. Nothing is good in this house. Not sure of your safety. The house is not clean. Hidden charges. Check is stressfull. Things blocking the entrace. So uncomfortable place.
- Vanessa (8/5): A perfect spot and a very comfortable and relaxed night - It was in the perfect place for my work and it was comfortable and in a nice street with good amenities nearby. The shower looked like it was going to overflow and could hear the guests around in the other studios. Was sad that the Netflix account wasn’t paid up to date!
- Ewelina (1/5): Unsafe - The location was quiet There was no lock on the door, just flimsy sth on the door handle. I felt unsafe. I put everything there was against the door but since the room was tiny there wasn’t much. I could hear everyone in the entire house. There was one bathroom for the entire house (I think 4 rooms) that was in bad shape. The house creaked and made noises all the time (ex radiators). I could not get a moment of sleep. You get a random from the rooms shown in the photos and they are very different. I couldn’t get into property and was waiting outside cause the instructions were not detailed. At the end I rented sth else
- Mcmahon (10/5): -
- Sonia Angelly (10/5): Agradable, acogedor - Estaba todo céntrico Todo bien
- Caleb (2/5): -
- Michaela (10/5): -
- Ekaterina (5/5): - The location is nice. We were given clear instructions on how to get in. The place has good ventilation, we didn't have to open the window to get fresh air during the night. There is a kitchen with a fridge, a stove, and an electric kettle. There is a washing machine. Towels and toilet paper were provided. The apartment was advertised as a second floor apartment but it is actually in the basement. The room is not what you see on the listing photos. The kitchen didn't have any cutlery or cooking pans or even soap for washing the plastic cups that were provided. Ants appeared in our trash bin at some point during our stay.
- Matteoak-420 (8/5): Alloggio carino in una bella zona residenziale tranquilla. - Ottima posizione alloggio carino ad un buonissimo prezzo Istruzioni per il check in poco chiare
- Arian (10/5): -
- Elfie (6/5): -
- Bálint (7/5): Csendes kis angol ház - Nyugodt környék jó megközelítéssel Az előtér udvar egy kicsit egy lomtelep látványa volt. A szobában a karnis felhelyezése után nem takarítottak fel és csupa fapor volt a padló.
- Michael (1/5): Overall, a very poor experience and we would not stay here again. - Affordable. The room was extremely small and cramped, with slanted furniture and barely enough space to open a suitcase. The mini-fridge was tiny and almost unusable. Heating was inconsistent, leaving the room either very cold or too hot.
Noise was a major issue—we could hear everything through the thin walls, and it was difficult to sleep. The listing also didn’t make clear that multiple other guests would be sharing the house, with only one shower for everyone, meaning long waits in the morning.
Facilities were poor: the kitchen lock didn’t work, running water was limited, and on our last night the shower was broken and only ran cold, so we had to leave and book elsewhere. The property did not match the photos, the garden had rubbish, and there were very few amenities nearby.
When we raised issues, staff were unhelpful and sent information that didn’t relate to our problem. Overall, very disappointing and would not recommend.
- Tomisin (6/5): Good - It was in a good location, and matches the pictures.
Inside the property was clean and very comfortable. Outside the property was unclean.
And about five rooms had to share a bathroom.

- Zoumpoulaki (10/5): -
- Bruno (6/5): - Dobra povezanost javnim prijevozom
- Kristýna (7/5): Dobrá lokalita, útulné, čisté - Čistota, pohodlná postel, netflix, konvice tenké stěny, hlasitý radiátor
- Louise (1/5): - Avoid
- Riccardo (5/5): - Accogliente Riscaldamento e rumore continuo che durante la notte può dare fastidio, problemi sulle richieste di check in
- Samanta (8/5): -
- juan (8/5): good for very few days. - the bed only one bathroom
- Johnny (8/5): Overall great value for money, perfect stay if you just need a bed for the night - Comfy bed, great value for the money, decent sized tv with Netflix already logged in which was good we didn’t know about that until we got there. Advertised parking, but no driveway it is on road parking which is only available between 6:30pm too 8:30am as it is for permit holders only but if you’re only using it for somewhere to sleep then it’s perfect so wasn’t really an issue in the end but not made clear at time of booking as I did specify during the search that I required parking, no issues finding a space, plenty available, was able to park right outside just had to make sure I had moved car by 8:30am Only slight annoyance was the noise of heating/pipes during the night once asleep i didn’t hear it, but light sleepers may. Everything else okay, for the price it’s great
- Luis (7/5): -
- Kayci (4/5): Disappointing - Location is ideal Outside had rubbish everywhere, carpets inside weren’t clean and were coming away from edges and had staples hanging out, room was okay, bathroom was okay but everywhere looks tired and needs revamping
- Saulene (7/5): -
- Timothy (7/5): Great area - functional i side but shabby - Poor sound insulation - could hear snoring from next room and plugs being oulled out/put in
- Dale (7/5): -
- Alexandre (4/5): -
- Geoff (7/5): Good value - Easy to find. Good facilities The room door didn’t always open after putting the code in.
- Andrés (5/5): - El secador de pelo El baño quedaba en otro piso.
- Trevor Badger (5/5): You get what you pay for. - It's location to family we were visiting. The shared bathroom was 2 flights of stairs and wasn't very welcoming .
No heating or hot water on our 2nd day.
- Irina (10/5): -
- Guillaume (4/5): - Localisation, équipement, arrivée autonome Propreté, moisissures dans la salle de bain, humidité dans la chambre, absence d'isolation dans le chambre
- Grzegorz (5/5): -
- David (9/5): - Clean and comfortable would definitely recommend👍
- Taiwo (8/5): - Location and comfortability. Nil
- EDUARDO (1/5): -
- Montagnino (7/5): -
- Adriana (5/5): -
- Elena (8/5): muy buena - La cama súper cómoda. El hecho de tener cuarto de baño propio con jabones incluidos era una suerte. La pica esta encima del retrete, muy típico de londres pero aunque es pequeño agradeces tener tu propio baño. El barrio muy residencial y muy tranquilo, metro y autobús cerca. nada
- Milan (10/5): -
- Sandrina (6/5): Boa relação qualidade/preço, face ao conforto e localização. - Boa localização, zona calma e com transportes. Cama muito confortável, temperatura do quarto é boa e TV com acessos a plataformas de streaming. apenas 1 WC disponivel, WC sujo nalgumas horas, com algumas fissuras e canos à vista. Necessita de alguma manutenção para melhorar o que está estragado.
- NURAH (4/5): -
- Eleni Evangelia (7/5): -
- Krystal (5/5): - The location was good for public transport and shops etc The bed was clean and comfortable. The lock handle on the door was loose. Most of the buttons on the TV remote didn't work so we were unable to watch in the evening. Had drinking facilities in the room but no cups. Shared kitchen was a microwave on the landing.
- Amélie (2/5): Pas très bien dormi. - La proximité des transports en commun Pas de tasse pour prendre un café, alors qu’il y a des sachet mis à disposition.
Isolation CATASTROPHIQUE, on entend TOUT. Les gens au dessus qui se lève à 3h, 6h prendre des douches, aller au wc, qui marchent. Comme l’impression d’être dans la même chambre. Idem pour la rue.
Pas de tapis salle de bain par terre donc eau partout.
Rideau laissant passer le jour
- Büşra Selin (4/5): Uzun süre kalmak için uygun değil. Duş konforsuz. 4 numaralı oda çok küçük. - Yatak rahattı, ısıtıcı ve tv imkanı iyiydi Oda çok ama çok küçüktü. Banyoda duş başlığı kırıktı, çöp kovası uzun süreler dolup taşıyor ve değiştirilmiyordu, üstelik çöpün kapağı yok ve insanların kullandığı peçeteler açıkta kovada görünüyor. Duş perdesi çok eski ve kokuyordu. Yerler tamamen pisti.
- Giulia (10/5): -
- Filip (6/5): Many broken things in room with private bathroom like: broken toilet seat, shower doors were out out the rails, thin wal - Location, price Very good location and price but many broken things in room with private bathroom like: broken toilet seat, shower doors were out out the rails, thin walls, you will hear everything, very noisy heating(like a vacuum cleaner or old iron) and last but not least the whole room stinks of all kind of smoking.
- vlogs (10/5): -
- Stephen (6/5): -
- Escandell Bozada (10/5): Altamente recomendable - Habitación muy limpia y ordenada con muchos detalles para el viajero (café, te, galletas, nevera…). Microondas común muy limpio y práctico.
Llegada super fácil y ubicación ideal (20-30 mins en bus del centro).
Estaría bien que en las fotos se dijera que habitación es cada una, ya que no todas son idénticas. Fue perfecto.
- Marcos Sánchez (7/5): -
- Ellie (6/5): -
- Natalie (6/5): Dissapointed - Close to Angel where I work, private room and bathroom The bathroom was not clean, the toilet seat and shower were broken and the sink sits on the toilet
Stairs steep, lots of comings and goings and noise at night
- Toni-Ann (5/5): OK. Cheap - Cheap, clean, good location There was an awful smell & the precheck in process was a little extreme for the level/standard of premises
- Lehel (7/5): -
- Dave (7/5): Very cheap and fine if you don't require any luxury. - It's a quiet and very nice area of London. It is very cheap, consequently it gives very good value for money. The facilities are very basic. It's just a bed and a TV screen effectively. Having to share a toilet/shower is a pain. The biggest problem is the central heating system and the noise it makes. A high-pitched whine every 15 mins or so. It makes sleeping very difficult.
- ken salmon (4/5): Did not meet the description and failed safety. - Location was good. Good light - 2 windows. Netflix available. No kitchen, no fridge,toilet seat wrong size and moved. The shower door had a gap… water spilled on the vinyl which made it a safety risk.
