Guest Reviews
- marcel (9/5): Sehr praktisch für Bahnreisende, reichhaltiges kulinarisches Angebot um die Ecke - Ausstattung, sehr sauber Betten, Zugang über schmuddelige Gänge
- 852d83be92b673e29458236c8977c4c6 (9/5): Vi är väldigt nöjda - Att det inte var heltäckningsmatta, att de hade bra läge. Det var rent/ välstädat. Skön säng. Kändes tryggt i boendet. Bra förvaringsmöjligheter. Halkan i duschen, behövs en halkmatta.
- Antje (9/5): - Die Lage ist hervoragend, vor allem wenn man mit dem Zug anreist. Von dort aus ist alles sehr gut zu Fuß oder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Sehr sauber und alles da, was man so braucht. Im Hinterhof läuft eine recht laute Lüftung, die nachts aber leiser wurde. Das war nicht schlimm, aber wer da empfindlich ist, sollte vielleicht nach einem anderen Apartment fragen.
- Jose (9/5): Calidad precio - Instalaciones y situación Todo bien
- Maria (10/5): - The staff at the reception were super helpful and polite. The apartment was clean and had all the necessary white goods and more. The complimentary water and biscuits was a very nice touch from the host. The fact that the keys were to be collected in a hotel about 10-15 min walking from the apartment, which was a task when you have luggages and you arrive from Euston. If your arrival is St Pancras, then is much easier.
- Tommy (10/5): Perfect apartment with friendly staff to accommodate/ assist if needed - Had everything you would need and more
Well equipped apartment close to
King’s Cross and Euston.
- Zoe (8/5): -
- Nik (8/5): -
- Gabriella RL C. (8/5): - La posizione, la cortesia e la disponibilità Darei a disposizione un asciugamano da doccia e uno da mani a testa. ( la dotazione era di tre asciugamani in tutto)
- Lynda (9/5): Very comfortable stay a short walk from King's Cross station. - Well-equipped apartment, a larger shower than you normally get in central London. Warm and reasonably spacious. The only small niggles were some of the utensils and chopping boards that are kept out on the kitchen worktop had a thin layer of grease; they'd obviously been present but not used during cooking and hadn't been washed for a while. Also, we couldn't get the heated towel rail to heat up, so hard to dry towels. But these are very small things in an overall great apartment.
- Oliver (6/5): Great location, nice apartment - Great location, decorated to a high standard, useful to have kitchen facilities One of the windows needs fixing. It is currently taped up and lets lots of noise in from the student venue directly behind. The pillows were paper thin. The TV would be better located in the living room area and it was extremely small
- Laura (8/5): - We had to book this accommodation very last minute due to a train cancellation. The place is very close to st Pancras station, 10 mins walk. The size of the apartment is very nice and it's very well equipped. Everything was ok! The only thing is that you have to pick up the keys to a hotel, but it's nearby so no big deal.
- mark (6/5): A nice flat in a grubby building - The flat itself was reasonably well appointed and clean The building was very run down and unpleasant
- Janusz (9/5): Bardzo udany pobyt i godny polecenia obiekt - Świetna lokalizacja blisko dworzec , metro i autobus
- Sally (8/5): Great small apartment, perfect location. - The location is excellent
The apartment was extremely clean and warm, with a well an equipped kitchen, small but a perfect base for enjoying the sights of London. The hosts are very helpful. The extra bed wasn’t located where we expected it to be ( booking.com described it as being a living room with sofa bed) it was actually a single neglected fold out bed that had to be located in the bedroom area.
- Susan (9/5): Enjoyed our stay - would book again. - Very clean and comfortable accommodation with great facilities.
Easy walking distance from Euston station.
Area felt safe.
Checkout time of 1 pm was appreciated. Bit of a walk from hotel to collect keys to the apartment. We didn’t have much luggage so wasn’t a problem and fortunately we were able to leave luggage free of charge as we arrived a couple of hours early.
- West (8/5): Excellent location, we could walk to where we wanted to go (Camden market) - Very quiet, safe, lovely location, super clean
- Donna (9/5): - Size of the rooms, the facilities available & location The entrance way was being used as a toilet so was a bit off putting on first impressions
- Andrea (6/5): - Clean, had everything I needed, felt secure. Good location for access to St Pancras/Kings Cross and central London. Would have preferred key collection at property.
- Martina (9/5): Sehr schöne Wohnung ein perfekter Lage mit top Ausstattung. - Das Apartment befindet sich an perfekter Lage unweit von King cross Station. Die Wohnung ist ruhig gelegen dennoch relativ zentral. Es hat ein schönes neues Badezimmer und auch die Betten waren tipptopp. Das einzige was es zu beanstanden gibt, war im Badezimmer der Papierkorb. Dieser wurde leider vergessen am putzen und voll hinterlassen. Das fand ich ziemlich eklig.
- alain (10/5): - N’y far our best accommodation during our two-week stay in England.
Really very spacious, very comfortable, very well equipped and very clean.
And early check-in available, Nothing
- Alqarni (10/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): The house keeping staff. They’re first class. I’m a retired front of house manager of a 4 star hotel so - It was spotless and well equipped. The pillows on the bed were really thin.
- Thomas (8/5): passt - Die Lage war optimal, alles mit Tube erreichbar Das Zustellbett für die dritte Person war nicht so gemütlich, die Metallstangen haben auf den Rücken gedrückt. Für 2 Personen aber eine super Unterkunft
- HO CHING (9/5): Recommend - Kitchentte was well-equipped, came with a dishwasher (although no washer). Can easily make a meal. Was allocated an apartment on the third floor — fairly quiet in London's standard. The room was very warm (good) even though it's freezing outside. The apartment was clean. Very close to Waitrose. No shampoo. No foil. The oven was very difficult to operate. Key collection is a good 8 minute walk.
- Cristina (10/5): Apartamento nuevo en zona céntrica de Londres - La ubicación excelente muy cerca del metro de King Cross.la zona es tranquila aunque esta cerca de una estación de tren y es segura.Los apartamentos son funcionales ,muy limpios y con una calefacción buenisima(importante cuando en la calle estábamos a -3 grados.los apartamentos están reformados nuevos .Hemos estado 3 personas y estaba cómodo. Nos sorprendió que en 4 días vinieron a limpiarnos el apartamento una vez.Muy bien de precio para los precios de Londres .el edificio son todos apartamentos de alquiler.me ha parecido muy correcto. Por decir algo,la cama supletoria tenía un hierro en la mitad (era un sillón)pero la persona durmió sin problemas.
- Dominik (9/5): Czysty apartament w bardzo dobrej lokalizacji. Przy kolejnej wizycie w Londynie napewno będę brał pod uwagę ponownie ten - Znakomita lokalizacja. Blisko stacji metra King’s Cross i Russel Square. 15 minut spacerem do British Museum. Apartament był również bardzo czysty i w pełni wyposażony we wszystko co jest niezbędne na kilkudniowy pobyt. Grzejnik w łazience nie był dobrze przymocowany.
- tracy (8/5): Fabulous for up to 2 people - The area, the flat was really nice and had everything we needed. The sofa bed, the flat is good for up to 2 people, the sofa bed is not comfortable.
- Rosa Maria (10/5): Breve vacanza per provare il Natale londinese - Ottima posizione . Appartamento fornito di tutto . Fornello ad induzione, macchina del caffè nespresso e bollitore elettrico con disponibili cialde per il caffè, tè e caffè solubili, biscotti, brioches e succhi di frutta Il bagno un po’ piccino, ma doccia grande e comoda
- Amr (3/5): - It is close to the train station The washer machine was broke
The bed was in the kitchen and it was not comfortable
- Martin (8/5): - location the bed was small and not comfortable
- Andrew (9/5): -
- Simon (8/5): Comfortable stay in an extremely well equipped flat. - The building is located about a 6 minute walk from King's Cross St Pancras, and is far enough up a road that it's away from busy traffic. The flat is tidy, spacious and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short or longer stay. There is easily enough space for for two people. The kitchen area is great. The bed was firm and comfy. The building is secure. There is a lift up to the third floor. The host, Bruno, is responsive and courteous. I will certainly consider staying again. The bedroom area of the flat faces 'Hotel UK casa', a very large hostel next door. Depending on when you stay, this may become quite noisy at night with people coming in and out. When I stayed (mid week in December) it went quiet at about 1130pm.
- Catherine (8/5): Great flat, thanks so much for the welcoming touches. - Flat 301 could not be faulted. Nice selection of provisions for a welcome cup of tea or coffee and all expected amenities to cook my own M&S evening meal. Quiet room and good night's sleep - bed very comfortable. I enjoyed my short stay. The receptionist at the Alhambra Hotel was highly personable and helpful. Thank you. My fault in taking a screenshot of the property location and following that, rather than re-reading the all-important key collection instructions. When I returned to the property, I did have trouble working out how to open the inner doors and didn't realise that the centre strut was the handle. Maybe a sign would be helpful here and also to show where the lift is as this isn't clear.
- Tess (10/5): Superb apartment in London - Excellent location and the apartment was just perfect. Plenty of the usual kitchen equipment if needed, bathroom/shower spotless, bed very comfortable, TV and plenty of channels, excellent WiFi. Manager was friendly and communicated all the necessary details for arrival and departure. Check out time was 1pm which was ideal. Nothing to dislike, everything was perfect.
- Heidi (7/5): - Nvt Er was niet echt een aparte slaapkamer
- luk-Hang (10/5): -
- Alex (7/5): -
- Davina (8/5): - Great for easy access to the Eurostar The apartment was quite noisy at nighttime
- Tali & Elli (9/5): - Perfect location . Very easy access to everything and a quite area.
Loved the cleanliness. Plenty of storage space. Makes it convenient for a long stay.
Bruno the Manager was truly amazing and available for every question. Although I all for cleaning, it would be nice to know that someone will come during the day to do so.
- Judit (8/5): - De locatie, vlak bij st Pancras international station
- Hayley (9/5): Great little apartment for a short or long stay. - It was very clean and great facilities. Just enough space for 1. Really handy location. Would stay there again. It was cold, I didn’t know how to put the heating on but I wasn’t there long enough to worry about that. I was fine in bed. It was a bit noisy but not enough to stop me from staying there again.

- Mike (8/5): - It was large and comfortable enough for two people in London. Location was good close to major rail station. The check in at a different location was confusing and a little inconvenient especially as it was not disclosed on the listing.
- Lisa (9/5): - Lovely spacious apartment, very modern and very clean. Very good location for kings cross which made it easy to visit all areas of London
Manager Bruno was very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend
- Mike (8/5): -
- Jaana (9/5): -
- sophie (7/5): - Propreté
Bien équipé On nous a vendu un salon, un canapé lit.
Il s'agit en réalité d'un lit pliant dune personne qu'il faut demander à installer car sinon pas prêt
De plus il est installé dans le coin cuisine car pas d'autre place
La chambre n'a pas de porte
- Curtis (9/5): All round great little place to stay - Amazing location, spacious apartment, coffee/tea/toiletries supplied and nicely equipped kitchenette. Bed/mattress could be comfier
- Benjamin (6/5): Satisfactory - Location was great. The bed was very hard and pillows very thin. The room was warm even with open windows.
- Ben (9/5): -
- Vicki (9/5): - Great place to stay! Location was great. I think they may need to upgrade their pillows.
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Charles Joseph William (8/5): Very enjoyable. - I found where to collect easily.
- Sarah (6/5): - Good size Seemed basic in comparison to similar places I’ve stayed
- Leonie (8/5): Good location, clean and comfortable - Clean and comfortable Too many doors to walk through to get to unit
- Michelle (10/5): - Great people and the place was lovely Pillows need to be thicker
- Mappi (8/5): Belle découverte on reviendra - "Logement bien situé à proximité de la gare. Informations claires pour la récupération des clés auprès de l’hôtel voisin (à 5 minutes à pied). Bel espace pour 3 personnes, avec un petit encas de bienvenue offert pour la première nuit. Appartement quartier calme, donne côté cour . À noter : l’absence d’aération peut être gênante pour des séjours prolongés, car il n’est pas possible d’ouvrir les fenêtres.
- Judith (7/5): Perfecte locatie. Klein appartement schoon en netjes. - De locatie ten opzichte van openbaar vervoer en mooi gedeelte van Londen Slaapbank is heel hard en meer voor een kind. Ik ben 1.64 en paste er net in.
- Ciara (8/5): -
- Linda (8/5): - Ren og delikat leilighet. Godt utstyrt. Savnet aircondition, men fikk låne vifter.
- Toby (7/5): Ok for brief stopover - Reasonable little flat. Rest of the rooms seem to be residential. Location is ok for tube or 25min walk to West End/Trafalgar square. It was too small really for 3 adults. Tiny bathroom with door that wouldn’t close. No air conditioning and too noisy to leave windows open so not great sleep.
- Meegan (3/5): Poor -
- Craig (8/5): Very good -
- Andreea (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, super comfortable, clean and beautifully designed property! A great stay in Central London!
- Michael (8/5): Very good - Good accommodation and location. Only downside is the 4pm check in
- Fernanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malcolm (8/5): Very good -
- Theodora (8/5): Very good -
- John (6/5): Pleasant -
- Gemma (9/5): Superb - The flat is superbly located very close to St. Pancras station and espcially King's Cross which makes commuting in every direction very easy and smooth. The flat is small but very well organised and with all comforts. It was also very clean. We experienced an issue with interruption of water on day 2 but the hosts ensured that we could use bathroom facilities into their other property. For such a price ;) breakfast should be provided. There is no ventilation in the bathroom.
- Ryan_acolley (9/5): Superb -
- Charlotte (10/5): Would recommend and stay here again in the future. - The property was clean and had everything we needed for the time we stayed there.
A good location for catching the eurostar the next morning.
Also had a place to store luggage for the day too which was helpful.
- Varda (10/5): Wonderful stay - Clean
Excellent location
Friendly host
- Torkjell (9/5): Superb -
- Kirsty (9/5): Excellent, clean and well positioned apartment. - Well located and exceptionally clean and comfortable. Nothing
- Lorraine (10/5): Safe, great location, clean and comfy - Will definitely stay again when needing to be this side of London. I booked here due to the location for Eurostar. The bed was comfy, and the apartment was quiet at night. I booked this and not a hotel due to the amount of noise at a hotel. Being a solo female traveller, I felt very safe with the double entry doors to get into the building and then a double lock on my door. The staff were very nice and met me at the apartment due to my bad back and having luggage. I was unaware that I needed to go to a hotel around the corner to collect the key. I don't know if I just missed this when making the booking.
- Ilaria (8/5): Very good -
- Henry (9/5): Great location - well set up - 2nd time we've stayed here for it's great location, quiet and amenities. Comfy bed, good cooking facilities make this ideal for a London stay.
- Laura (8/5): Good for price but key collection needs to be clearer before booking - Very clean with good amenities Had to collect the keys from a separate building (10 min walk with mobility issues), sofa bed wasn't the comfiest.
- Lesley (8/5): Excellent property - The accommodation was spotlessly clean and in a good location. The double bed was very comfortable and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Tea, coffee etc was provided also biscuits, juice and breakfast pastries. We'd definitely stay here again, the area and block of flats felt very safe.
- Janice (9/5): Great location and comfortable stay. - Information was good and we were able to leave our cases until check in. Maybe slightly more information about arrival to location.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stuart (9/5): Superb -
- Amanda (7/5): Good value for money whole apartment in central London - Communication with the owners before hand was good. Check in was straightforward and staff were friendly and helpful. The front desk is open 24 hours a day. They have a small shop for snacks and breakfast items and offer a breakfast basket for £7 per person. The apartment is a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. The apartment was clean and has a well equipped kitchen with fridge, dish washer, hob, microwave and complimentary tea, coffee making items and snacks basket. The double bed was comfortable the room was warm and had a window which could be opened for ventilation, which is not always the case in hotels. Toiletries and a towel each were provided. Free WiFi and flat screen TV and plentiful sockets and plugs. The bed for the third adult was a fold up bed and whilst it wasn't uncomfortable it moved and creaked every time the guest moved in bed. I had expected a full single bed. There was no hand towel provided, which meant using the only other towels provided for hand washing, the towels were also quite small. Despite double glazing and the apartment facing the rear of the building it was still quite noisy, voices, machinery and alarms throughout the night.
- Fiona (10/5): Fab vacation - Loved the location, security entrance and clean apartment Mattresses were uncomfortable , sleeping on a board - but was only 2 nights so hey ho
- Abi (10/5): Perfect choice for London - We were really pleased with our stay - just a short walk from Euston. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel where you pick up your keys and head out for the day. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance or we caught an Uber which was really easy and good value for money.
The apartment itself was fantastic - nicely decorated, very neat and clean, really comfy beds, we had a great night's sleep. We didn't eat in the apartment but it was nice to have the option if we had wanted to, and we were able to make hot drinks. The small basket of juice, biscuits and croissants, and milk in the fridge, tea and coffee, was a really nice touch. The towels were arranged really nicely on the beds.
It felt like a safe area to stay with our teenage daughter. Plenty of good restaurants around. No crowds, nice and quiet.
Good value for money for the 3 of us - better value than a hotel by far.
Thank you to Bruno for being so responsive when I Whatsapped him to ask questions.
We would definitely recommend this apartment and would happily stay again. Not being able to check in until 4.00pm. You didn't have to check out until 1.00pm but as we were up and out by 10.00am we would have preferred to be able to check in earlier and check out earlier. I guess this would be OK if you were busy but we were really tired by 2.00pm and had to wait around before we could gain access.
The towels could be bigger.
- John (9/5): Comfortable, clean, convenient and welcoming. - Helpful welcome from the nearby hotel which administered the keys and a secure left luggage facility.
It was nice to have welcoming tea and coffee sachets. as well as croissants.
Very clean!
The Kingsize bed was appreciated.
- Kaushika (10/5): Clean, comfortable and high standard apartment, home from home - Clean, great facilities, good nights sleep, great location, spacious with everything you need. Everything was excellent
- Niall (10/5): Modern clean and spacious apartment in handy location - It’s a great apartment in a handy location and very quiet. It’s all good
- Niall (10/5): Exceptional - Everthing nothing
- Christine (5/5): Very clean and convenient, but oddly configured and over-priced. - Location is convenient to St. Pancras. Keys had to be picked up at a small, budget hotel a few blocks away, but reception was pleasant. Entrance to building: neutral but recently redone, clean, anonymous. Lift worked fine. Apartment had a lovely kitchen (with dishwasher!) and appliances, and the bathroom was well appointed. All very clean. I make regular trips on Eurostar to London, often on short notice, and have been looking for an accommodation solution to replace the slapdash, cheaply refurbished train-station hotels that abound in the area around St. Pancras.
It needn't be fancy, but must be clean, with well-equipped with an excellent wifi connection, comfortable desk or other surface for end-of-day catching up on work. And a comfortable armchair or other seat for reading, with good light.
Alas Bloomsbury Apartments, while clean, with a comfortable bed and bath, ain't it.
It's as if someone purchased the place, started to outfit it (new tiles, bath, shower, kitchen...), then either changed decorators or ran out of money or both, and is now pretending that it is a suite. It isn't.
The configuration doesn't work: there's no usable desk, rather a piece of low-end furniture jammed in at the end of the bed, with no room for a stool or chair. There's not a table within easy reach of sockets, no even minimally comfortable chair. Vast amount of new shelves and closet space: was this space planned as refugee housing, or medium-stay housing for business people, or housing for interns, or... ? Doesn't work.
I paid €170 as a "special offer" on a "regular price" that the owner set at well over £350.
To be sure, London hotels are expensive. But that is delusional.
