London Serviced Apartments

“Good, but noisy”

This apartment was nicer than we had expected, and the people were great to work with. Our apartment was a 2-bedroom and quite roomy. Most of the necessaries were provided in the apartment, with a few minor issues (e.g., one of the stove burners didn't work). The showers are typical for England (in… more

This apartment was nicer than we had expected, and the people were great to work with. Our apartment was a 2-bedroom and quite roomy. Most of the necessaries were provided in the apartment, with a few minor issues (e.g., one of the stove burners didn't work). The showers are typical for England (in our experience) -- low pressure, in a tub that is very high to step into, but at least worked. The only thing that would cause me to not stay here again is the street noise. The two bedrooms have windows facing Stamford Street, and the traffic does not stop all night. It's constant clanging, beeping etc. If you can sleep with earplugs in your ears or if you are immune to noise, then you'll probably be o.k. We had to have the windows cracked bc of the heat, increasing the decibels. I was able to sleep with earplugs, but my husband had a hard time sleeping.

“Good central location”

We have just come back from a short break in London at this apartment. Ideal for a family as there are 2 bathrooms, both with a bath. The flat was well stocked and the furniture was modern and neat. All very clean. The free wifi was very useful. The lift meant we didn't have flights of stairs to cl… more

All very clean. The free wifi was very useful. The lift meant we didn't have flights of stairs to climb with suitcases. Just a short walk to the embankment to let a small boy run off steam!! I would stay there again.

The apartments are located near Blackfriers bridge and are modestly furnished, clean and functional. The layout is spacious - my apartment had two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a open plan kitchen dining room. The facilities are basic but adequate for a family to use as a base for travel in and around London - 10 minutes walk from Waterloo Station and within an easy stroll to the theatre district in London. From a location perspective, it is hard to beat. The utilities are basic but adequate. The level of servicing was rudimentary - basically I was let into the apartment, given keys and basic instructions and then left to my own devices. In the four days I was there, I was left alone. I could call if there was a problem but there was no staff contact in the four days I lived there. The experience was rather nice - you got a chance to live in an apartment - cook for yourself and join the every day flow of people living in London. The walk to my conference and the sense of being one of the crowd was a nice contrast to living in a 5 start hotel. For a family the apartment is a great solution - cheaper than a hotel but still costly in terms of the modernity of the facilties and services. The apartment was within walking distance of the theatre district - across the Blackfriers Bridge and to the theatres 20 - 30 minutes walk. 10 mins to Waterloo Station and 15 mins to the London Eye. All nice and close.
