The apartment does not have A/C and the apartment feels old and needs an upgrade. No pan in the kitchen, limited dishes and forks, spoons etc. very limited utensils. The TVs did not work. He fans were broken. The pictures does not reflect at all the condition of the apartment. The only good think is location next to subway and train station bit the area is dirty, homeless around, I wouldn't stay again

I booked this hotel but I didn't get to see the rooms, because they messed up my reservation and sent me to another hotel which was apparently nicer (it was good) but there was a reason why I wanted to stay in this location next to Liverpool Street station. Sending us to the alternative hotel just added time to my plans around London.

A little tired but adequate.

We have stayed here before and by chance were in the same room. Neeed a lot of TLC last time and thishas been addressed somewhat. Was hot in London and no fans availability, so windows open and therefore LOTS of noise. Close to Liverpool Street station is a plus.

Wouldn't stay here again - was ok

On checking in they asked me to pay a discretionary 5% service charge.... I've never heard of this before.... I declined and said I would decide at check out. The description says washer/dryer.... it's a washer only. I told them safe didn't work, nothing was done about it. Housekeeping came very late 3.30 - 4.30 pm which if you've been out all day isn't convenient - I only ended up getting one service in 5 night ( and the bed wasn't made) event though another 2 days I had 'please service my room' on the outside of door. And the man on reception blocking the entrance in the evening smoking is not acceptable. Plus 3 glass table on the studio - the glass wasn't fixed to any of the table so was dangerous. No air con - rooms very hot - asked for a fan. Beds very comfortable and great location but works chose another option next time.

Perfect for an intergenerational family stay

Clean and spacious apartment in a good location, opposite Liverpool Street Station and a short walk from Leadenhall Market. Reception and cleaning staff very helpful and friendly. Perfect for an intergenerational family stay.

The location was excellent and so convenient for public transportation and restaurants, pubs and really anything’s you might need. The problem is that the hotel is not air conditioned and you cannot open the windows for airflow. Every room in the apartment has a heavy door that can’t be propped open so there is no air flow. The weather in London was in the 80’s so the apartment got very hot throughout the day and it was very hard to sleep. The mattress was overly soft and had a big slope in the middle. Otherwise the accommodations were fine. Nothing fancy.

This property is in a great location. The lady at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful. Our biggest issue with the room was the toilet would hardly flush. We called shortly after checking in, and the lady said we can use the one in the room next to us, which was nice. There was no other room available for our family of 5. A repair man came after about an hour. Unfortunately the repair man, who was very nice, was in our room until after 9pm attempting to repair the toilet. About 3 hours. I told him we had to wake up early, and he finished up soon after. The next morning the man at the desk was going to charge me a service fee for something, I’m not sure what, and I told him about the problem the night before, and he didn’t charge me. The room looks very worn. The floor looks very bad. Otherwise, everything was ok

Beds were a -2 rating. My roll away bed looked like it was decades old and very uncomfortable. Never cleaned our room after telling housekeeping we were leaving room in 5 minutes and they never bothered to return. Told receptionist about the issue and not helpful at all and didn’t take care of the request. Worst experience ever.

Our request to check in earlier was only available for a fee. If the room was available, why not let your guest settle in after having a long day without charging a fee. The beds, linen and pillows were very comfy. The apartment could use some plants or decor to brighten it up a little. I did not like the stains on the tile in the bathroom and would recommend having a manual available for your guest to use the washing machine and thermostat. On a more positive note, thanks for relocating us to another apartment without any issues after we discovered a sever leak in the bathroom ceiling.

Nice but not great

The place was nice but definitely showing signs of wear and tear. For how nice it was I think it was a little overpriced. Also, they add a 5% service charge at check in… It is located in more of a business area with easy access to the bus and underground. Lots of dining options within walking distance. Employees were all polite and helpful.

Our First Try of an Aparthotel Not so Sure

There was an air conditioner in the room that did not work. The kitchen did not have complete service for two. On our second night, the cieling in the bathroom began leaking. After pressure from us, the management switched our room. Their first proposed solution was that we use a bathroom across the hall when needed. Not accpetable!

Not luxurious but it is a three room apartment with kitchen living area and bedroom. Very tall bathtub; it’s a big step into tub for a shower. There is heat and AC and a fan. Espresso machine was baffling, we never figured out the oven. Microwave and kettle did work. In a busy, bustling, gritty area but fast food and better food were steps away. Pret a manger next door for coffee and breakfast. Greggs in the underground station for sausage rolls before the day is over. We would stay here again for very practical reasons. Nice desk staff and easy access by bus or rail to the whole town.

This is a middle of the road property. It’s not super nor is it disgusting. It has what you need but it’s not up to date and a tad dirty around the property. There is a tube close by which is nice for travel.

Do not stay here unless you are looking for a place that vibes “landlord special, cheap, not maintained, bachelor apartment”. The pictures they present are not accurate as each unit is apparently different. There is no relaxing, homey vibe the pictures suggest. It’s above a bar and the windows on the front of the building are old single pane and DO NOT block ANY noise. We were in 201 and could hear word for word conversations happening on the street when we were in the living area. In our apartment the bedrooms were on the back of the building and it was much quieter in there. I am including video of the mold in the bathroom, dingy tub, and general disrepair. England is full of “older” units but this one didn’t really try to be presentable. Cons-You can hear the people walking in the apartment above you, and hear everything on the street. There were NO PROTECTIVE COVERS on the mattress or pillows. No Air Conditioning available. Has washer/dryer combo but ours would not hold the door closed. Front door deadbolt didn’t work. Pros- high ceilings, big rooms, very close to tube station and restaurants. Towels and sheets seemed clean. Top surfaces of counters seemed clean.
