Guest Reviews
- Mir (10/5): Exlcelent apartment - Large 2 bedrooms, large kitchen and living room, two full bathrooms. 24 hours front desk staff, very good service. Grocery shop in the same building. Very close to tube. Quite neighborhood Nothing
- Umer (7/5): Clean and decent value. - Cleanliness and basic amenities Noisy neighbourhood when you open the windows in hot weather. No air con. No ventilation but fan was available.
- moada (10/5): -
- John (7/5): - Good to get around central London Dishwasher not working. Could do with cleaning materials for toilet bathroom
- Kim Kidholm (5/5): -
- ileca6 (8/5): - Ottima posizione, gentilezza dello staff, possibilità di lasciare in custodia i bagagli, appartamento pulito e confortevole con bella vista su richiesta e disponibilità. Comodo per la posizione e vicinanza ai mezzi. Purtroppo il divano letto è davvero scomodo, il materasso quasi inesistente, sembrava di dormire direttamente sulle doghe.. unica nota negativa di tutto il soggiorno.

- Bobby (9/5): -
- imran kirmani (10/5): - Excellent service Nothing

- Carolyn (8/5): - Very clean. Great location
- bv 03 (1/5): -
- Gaynor Marie (8/5): -
- jun (9/5): 出行方便 - 安全性和位置都很好,停车场很宽敞,进门需要确认,安全性很好。楼下有超市非常便利,C10车站也在楼下,去泰特美术馆,看大本钟伦敦眼超方便。 洗浴用品太少,我们两人住7晚只给放了一套(10ml小瓶装)。
- Carolina (9/5): Muy buenas instalaciones y calidad. Luminoso y con recepción. - Muy amplio, buenas instalaciones, camas cómodas, tiene recepción y fácil el check-in Un poco alejado del centro.
- Ana Belén (10/5): -
- Heather (8/5): Ideal stay for weekend break - Location was perfect Nothing
- Gonçalo (8/5): - Limpo, perto do metro, calmo e silencioso Vista para patio interior
- ELISABETH (8/5): Un endroit idéal pour se reposer après une journée bien remplie ! - Appartement spacieux et clair, sans bruit. Une très bonne literie et des serviettes moelleuses... Il manquait quelques ustsensiles de cuisine (ex: un grand récipient pour cuire des pâtes!)
- Stokes (8/5): -
- Deborah (9/5): - Good location. Beautiful views. Great facilities and the apartment was a great size.
- David (10/5): -
- Loraine Noordijk (5/5): Prijs kwaliteit was het niet waard om hier te verblijven - Voor 460 euro was dit echt erg onder de verwachtingen.
Lijkt niet op de foto's, waren smerige plekken op het platfond in de badkamer, het was redelijk dicht bij de stad maar zeker minimaal 20 minuten lopen. Het personeel was wel oke. Ze deden hun werk en was ook wel alles. De positiviteit in hun was niet aanwezig, net alsof ze daar niet wilde zijn.
De kamer was prima ook niets bijzonders maar had ik ergens anders voor veel goedkoper ook kunnen boeken. En dan tot slot het bed. Ik denk dat er op 1 punt in de nacht kwam dat ik liever op de bank had willen slapen. Alles behalve comfortabel.
- RICHARD (7/5): Fine for business travel - Good location, large rooms and reasonable value. Still waiting for a copy invoice to be emailed to me. I asked for on checkout, and have chased. Ask for a printout
Couldn't connect to the WiFi at all
- Terence Wai-kuen (10/5): -
- Ken (10/5): -
- Abdullah (4/5): Mixed feelings - Location, Tesco downstairs, self catering equipment was good. Size of unit is a plus in London Wifi was out for couple of hours but not just in the property but wider area so outside of the propeties control. The plumbing is poor with the sound of effluent from higher units being heard in this unit 29. They should have done a better job at insulting this for this awkward constant sound. Couch is seriously uncomfortable to sit on
- Jamie (7/5): -
- Alessandra (10/5): Ottima posizione e nell’appartamento - Appartamento bello, in zona comoda e servita dalla metro. Bel panorama Il divano letto non era molto comodo
- Kareena (10/5): Great stay, staff were brilliant- clean and location was perfect 2 min walk to Boroughs station. Safe location. - Great location, clean and comfortable Nothing

- angelo (8/5): -
- Naomi (8/5): - Location. Really clean Early check out and late check in
- emmanuelle (10/5): -
- Marica (10/5): -
- Daniele (10/5): -
- Samir (7/5): Good place and location but not worth the value for the money we paid for 7 nights! - Good location. Nice sized apartment. Clean. Checkout time as early as 10:30-11:00 is unheard of. Checkin was as late as 15:00. This was a massive inconvenience for a family with two young kids. Next time we will need to lookout for such abnormal checkin and checkout timings.
- Andrea (10/5): Excellent, comfortable, clean and awesome location - excellent location for what we wanted to see and do during our stay in London. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Lots of room for family of 4 we did expect a better view looking at the pictures advertised on the site. This didn't take away from the room being great but it would have been nice to have a better view
- FULVIO (9/5): Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Strutture moderna ed efficiente. - Nel foglio dato all'ospite al momento del check in manca una descrizione del posto dove lasciare i rifiuti differenziati (plastica, vetro, etc.); il posto c'è, ma sarebbe utile la spiegazione sul foglio di come arrivarci senza chiedere al personale.
- Kristýna (8/5): -
- Camilla (7/5): Convenient for location and spacious accommodation - Spacious and clean Sink plug not working, water scolding hot or freezing cold (difficult to get in between) and microwave not working
- sharon (9/5): -
- Bernat (8/5): - Ubicacion Las fotos son apartamentos que están a más altura el que nos tocó no tenía vistas
- Ismaiel (9/5): Great staff and apartments in a beautiful location - Reception staff, Silvie and Maria, very helpful and respectful.
Location is great, 5min walk from Borough market and london bridge.
Very clean apartment and building.
Bus stop next to the building.
Parking and late checkout are available for a fee, which is fair. Housekeeping is once a week, should be more.
The couch is not that comfortable.

- josh davih (1/5): -
- Patrizia (9/5): - posizione fantastica, tutto vicinissimo, pulizia e appartamento fantastico
- Biancamaria (10/5): -

- Manfrin (7/5): -
- Rafael Zaragoza (10/5): Fantástica estancia - Cogí un apartamento para 3 personas y fue fantástico
- Richard (10/5): - The view of the city 👍👍
- Anne (9/5): Excellent séjour, j’y retournerais. - Bien équipé, confortable, spacieux, les deux salles de bain dans l’appartement étaient un plus. Bien que pas particulièrement central, l’emplacement est bon, proche du métro, de London Bridge et d’un marché typique très animés. Séjour très sympa.
- Anna (1/5): The hotel was totally different from what was shown on the website and did not meet my expectations. -
- Christian3 (8/5): Soggiorno perfetto!!! - Struttura pulita con servizio reception molto disponibile (in particolare Silvia). Appartamento spazioso, silenzioso, pulito e cucina attrezzata(peccato solo per la vista in quanto non erano disponibili i piani alti come nelle foto; comunque bella lo stesso). Posizione tranquilla e comodissima a pochi passi dalla metro Borough e London Bridge.

- Rebecca (8/5): -
- Siobaun (7/5): It’s fine. - The location was very handy only 10min walk to London Bridge station or 5mins to Borough tube station The doors didn’t stay open without door stoppers, the washing machine didn’t really work without manual prompting to next stage of the cycle. I was questioned overly when leaving a day early, even though I had messaged and advised at check in that our flights changed. It was very accusatory.
- Wright (7/5): I would not stay there again. It was spacious but it felt like a conference room. - It was very clean. It was nice having a convenience store next door. They cancelled my reservation 2 days before citing the card didn't run through, with no warning, then to rebook cost me twice the price. I got taken.
There are NO amenities, the pictures of a gym are a complete fraud, they did not clean after one week. There is no view, it's just a closed courtyard, with zero outdoor space.
There is no ventilation system. You can open a window but that's it. Zero airflow.
- markus (7/5): Gute Lage, jedoch deutliche Abstriche bei Sauberkeit, Ausstattung und Komfort. - Wir waren zum ersten Mal in London und fanden die Lage gut: Ein Supermarkt befindet sich im selben Gebäude, Metro- und Busstationen sind in unmittelbarer Nähe. Zu Fuss erreicht man die Tower Bridge in etwa 15 Minuten und den Borough Market in rund 10 Minuten.
Die Matratzen waren in Ordnung, und die Zimmer wirkten sauberer als der restliche Teil der Wohnung. Positiv ist auch, dass die Möglichkeit besteht, Netflix zu nutzen.
Früh- sowie Late-Check-out sind gegen Gebühr möglich (wobei es merkwürdig ist, wenn man 50’ vor 15.00 ankommt und die Wohnung schon parat ist, trotzdem noch einen Aufpreis zahlen muss). Leider war die Wohnung insgesamt nicht besonders sauber. Im Kühlschrank befanden sich noch Essensreste, und auch das Geschirr war teilweise nicht richtig abgewaschen. Die Badewanne und die Dusche haben ebenfalls schon bessere Zeiten gesehen – insbesondere der Abflussbereich war stark verschmutzt, und am Wannenboden gab es zahlreiche Flecken. Den Geschirrspüler mussten wir vor der Nutzung selbst gründlich reinigen, da die Sprüharme verstopft waren.
Beim Betreten der Wohnung fiel zudem ein unangenehm starker Geruch auf. Wir haben dies umgehend gemeldet, erhielten jedoch lediglich ein Raumspray mit der Erklärung, die Wohnung habe längere Zeit leer gestanden und daher diesen Geruch entwickelt.
Es gibt weder eine Garderobe noch Möglichkeiten, Badetücher im Badezimmer aufzuhängen. Das Zweisitzer-Sofa ist sehr unbequem – man sinkt nach kurzer Zeit ein, und es ist kaum möglich, zu viert gemütlich zusammen fernzusehen. Auch die vier Stühle im Wohnzimmer sind wenig komfortabel.
Die Küche ist eher spärlich ausgestattet. Zwar sind ein Handtuch, Spülmittel, Schwamm sowie Möglichkeiten zur Zubereitung von Tee und Kaffee vorhanden, jedoch fehlen beispielsweise Ofenhandschuhe oder ein hygienisches Schneidebrett.
Zudem ist es kaum möglich, die Fenster offen zu lassen – sowohl nachts als auch tagsüber ist es durchgehend sehr laut (Polizei- und Krankenwagensirenen sowie Lieferverkehr vom Tesco).
Im Badezimmer besteht die Gefahr, sich am „Radiator“ die Finger zu verbrennen, wenn man nicht aufpasst. Es gibt einen Schalter ausserhalb des Badezimmers, mit dem sich die Heizstäbe einschalten – diese werden sehr heiss. Es wäre sinnvoll, diesen Schalter entsprechend zu beschriften, da er leicht mit dem Lichtschalter verwechselt werden kann.
Für Gäste, die sich hauptsächlich ausserhalb der Wohnung aufhalten, wenig selbst kochen und weniger empfindlich auf Sauberkeit reagieren, mag diese Unterkunft dennoch eine gute Option in London sein.
- Francesca (10/5): Londra non delude mai - Posizione strategica, pulizia, dotazione di servizi in casa
- cc0b8717762872027ed870dafde6a3f2 (10/5): - Sve je odlično

- 6ce8a6327eaf708cae552e3c7e1d089f (8/5): - Great location, spacious apartment with washer and kitchenette, good for longer stays Sofa bed could have been a little more comfortable and the rooms could be cleaned a little more regularly
- daa0f6e965b77388c114ed8ad0a42bda (8/5): - the balcony room what was offered was not I expected or what they show in the images
- Guest (8/5): -
- 3b62e58adc7d726603dd075d588c5543 (1/5): Dissatisfied - Location and staff The quality of the beds is horrendous.I travel a lot and I can safely say these mattresses are a disgrace.There is just no excuse for it considering how fabulous everything else is at the property.It really is a huge oversight on managements behalf and I have no doubt it is hugely affecting customers rebooking.I know it will stop me for considering it for my 4/5 annual visits to London.
- d9ea3dc7a6ff7201c671d6e99a05b246 (8/5): Great location, spacious clean apartment but need more comfortable mattress on sofa bed - Great location, rooms lovely and bright Corridors smelt bad.

Well equipped apartment with comfortable beds & towels. The apartment was bit run down. Old kitchen unlike the photo. Long walk to reach the apartment at the far end of the corridor. Overall bit pricy for the quality. Would not recommend!!
