Ok, Iâm not quite sure how these apartments got such good reviews. I wasnât happy with the room when I arrived, but things got worse. I accept that these are cheap(ish) places to stay and that London is expensive, but really - these are poor rooms. The room was downstairs and very small. The photos are misleading as there was no table and chairs, just a back door and a barred window (nice!) There was a hob that worked, but as there was no saucepan or frying pan Iâm not sure what use this actually was. They had put an AC unit in the room, but it was very old and the size of a fridge, which limited the space in an already confined area. Ok, so itâs cheap, but in the morning it got worse. Turns out the toilet and the bath waste pipes are linked. The toilet was apparently a little blocked and, well, the waste came up through the bath plughole. You can imagine. I complained and, to be fair to the owners, they refunded both nights payment with good grace, but really, this is not somewhere you want to stay unless you are a backpacker or a student. Itâs grim. And unless you check in within a specified time (2-5?) you have to pay an extra ÂŁ30 fee. Well, at least they refunded that too.
