Non è come appare nelle foto

La camera è totalmente differente da come appare nelle fotografie viste prima di partire. La camera è molto piccola, il letto è a una piazza e mezza, il bagno estremamente piccolo con un lavandino minuscolo e nessuno spazio tra lavandino, wc e doccia. La porta finestra che da sul terrazzino era bloccata quindi non si poteva far cambiare l'aria alla stanza. Soggiorno spesso a Londra, non so se tornerò in questo monolocale.

Studio bien placé et bien équipé

Nous avons passé un agréable moment dans ce logement. Il est tout équipé, propre et bien situé, à même pas 5 minutes de l'arrêt de métro le plus proche. Le mobilier est également confortable. L'espace pour la mezzanine est assez petit, il faut y aller en rampant. Le seul souci a été de contacter le gérant du logement afin de savoir la marche à suivre pour accéder au logement à notre l'arrivée. Mais une fois le contact établi, les consignes sont fournies pas SMS et il n'y a pas de problème pour entrer dans l'appartement. Globalement le logement nous a satisfaits.

Aiuto

Spazi minuscoli. In due non si vive bagno di un metro quadrato. Letto scomodo con materasso sfondato quindi senti tutte le molle spuntare nella schiena. Struttura vecchia e quindi scricchiolante. Muri sottilissimi. Si sentono tutti i rumori delle altre camere per cui se si ha il sonno leggero ci si sveglia ogni due per tre. Freddo e non si può regolare il riscaldmento. la posizione è buona perche non lontana dalla metro. Va bene se sei di poche pretese e devi passarci una o al massimo due notti non di piu.

Short stay west kensington.

I thought for the price, in London, the hotel was ok.. The wifi wouldn't work, also the heating didn't work, which in winter proved quite difficult.. Overall the place was clean, and had everything I could need. The bed was comfortable and very fresh and clean, the location is perfect and the shower was nice and warm.

Incumplimiento de servicio☹️

La habitación originalmente contratada no fue posible accesarla, a pesar claras indicaciones pues no hay recepción, nunca aparecio La llave , así que tomo más de 1 hora lograr la comunicación. Finalmente asignaron en otro edificio cercano la habitación. debido a este retraso perdí una reunión que tenía programada

Ok position and price, but, to improve everythig

Appartament (in the basement) good for price and position ( 5 minutes walk from West Kensington underground). There isn’t daily cleaning service; in the bathroom there is no hair dryer, although I requested it before the arrival and during the stay; mattress too soft; the balcony was not so clean.

Bed was very uncomfortable, tv didn't work

Bed was not comfortable and the tv didn't work and I had to move into a smaller room even though I paid for a superior. Staff was not helpful at all.

Horrible

Misadvertised- the room smells like bacon grease & is the size of a closet. Was really looking forward to staying somewhere bigger than 8x10ft.

4/10 Fair

It is a bad experience to have a long stay in this apartment. The emergency call provided by the host was not opened and its mailbox even fulled. The only way contacting the host is via message but there is always no reply. The location is pretty good which near the metro around 5-10 minutes.

Studio flat not as pictured very small the bathroom drains barely work, toilet is under the sink

Trying to get instructions to get into the studio basement flat on fairholme, in Fulham and Hammersmith, London) (Sorry I was not allowed to disclose the actual address.) I had to make Long Distance calls from the States to an answering machine that that didn't always answer, I tried Calling quite a few times. Finally two days before we left I got instructions to get into the flat, I was a little scared being as my only contact number doesn't always answer and I was trying to switch to an international phone. Shower has to be cycled on and off because the drain was so slow that the shower filled up of water very quickly, I had the plunge the toilet probably 10 times during our stay because it would not drain, The bed was lumpy but I managed to sleep anyway, One of the towels was apparently dirty looks used (it was wrinkly) hanging on a hanger in the closet (scary) so we had 3 bath towels, no hand towels, no washcloth TV would not get any channels but hey you're in London that's no big deal we didn't need it. Make sure you follow all the instructions you need to get into your apartment and unlock the basement door leading to the hallway of your apartment because you will need the key fob to unlock that. The place was very small and gross with mold in the showers. The only plus was that it was close to West Kensington subway station you can walk there very easily even with bags. I highly discourage renting this piece of property (our friends that travelled with us got a flat 8 times the size for only another $15 a night).

If a threadbare student bedsit is what you want!

This apartment is nothing like the ones depicted in the photos. Threadbare and basic. TV does not work and keeps switching itself on and off at random. You better hope there is no fire in this building because you will need to untangle the extinguishers from under a pile of vacuum cleaners. Builders were on the premises and sanding down walls creating a blizzard of dust that seeped under the doors and covered every thing. At the end of their shift the dust set off the fire alarms throughout the whole building. These kept ringing until 10pm until a resourceful guest managed to find a kill switch for the system and turn it off. During all this, none of the phone numbers provided for the building management were being answered. I left messages and eventually I got a text reply that accused me of making a 'false accusation' about the fire alarms. Really! The building was full of dust and the fire alarms were ringing off constantly and I'm being accused of making false accusations. I have video evidence on my phone as proof. Whats my recomendation about this property. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!

"You get what you pay for"

High points: Good location, the place existed, did not have bed bugs, electricity and water worked. Low points: Beds were broken to some degree, generally pretty dirty, hotel staff was unreachable, shower had a considerable amount of mold.

Small apartment close to olympia

We stayed at the short let for bank holiday weekend as we were attending an event at olympia. It was well located near 2 tube stations for east access to the rest of London. It was quite small and basic as expected, there was originally 4 in our group but 2 dropped and it was probably for the best as the apartment was tiny and would have been vastly overcrowded!! Tiny bathroom barely room to turn, ladder up to the main bedroom is scary at the best of times and a very low roof (which I hit my head a couple of times). States luggage storage is available however on day of departure I had to beg a hotel near Olympia to save our bags as the owner couldn't store them past 2pm!!! Luckily the other hotel saved our trip!!!

8/10 Very good

Handy for getting to my office near Earl's Court

The room was just as described. A studio apartment with a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed. I didn't fancy climbing the ladders so slept downstairs (the bed settee converts to a bed). The bed was comfortable and all linen /towels were clean and fresh. Everything was clean and tidy. There is a freezer, (plug in if you need it), a fridge and a cooker and microwave. The wardrobe next to the showere room also has a iron and an ironing board.

2/10 Poor

Extremely disappointing!

I was so disgusted with this hotel that myself and the rest of the party travelling with me had to actually go out and buy cleaning products and air fresheners etc to clean the place ourselves before we could even bare to sit in what tiny room we had! Even then we still went out to buy our own bed sheets and pillows etc also! The stairs are so narrow that you practically have to be turned sideways to get up or down them, the "living area" is completely non existent when the sofa bed is turned into a bed (which had almost half the wooden bed slats missing). The bed above the living area is so close to the ceiling that you can't sit up in bed without banging your head on said ceiling! Which might I add is full of damp from the flat above! And again the bathroom is also so tiny that there is no room to get dressed in there after having a shower this lead to us all having to ask everyone to go to the living area whilst we each took it in turns to get dressed in the kitchen. I think it is extremely unfair to advertise this as a "superior room" as it a far cry from being such! Also I don't agree with the fact that there were holes all over the walls with pipes and wires hanging out into the staircase leading to the room (I understand that work needs to be carried out but to still allow people to book in to this is rediculous) I strongly recommend anyone reading this review to avoid this accommodation at all costs!

A éviter absolument

L'établissement était en travaux durant toute la période de nos vacances. La chambre était très sale nous avons dû faire le ménage nous-même avec une balayette car pas de balai. Je ne vous parle même pas de l'état de la salle de bain et de la taille ridicule des pièces. De plus les literies étaient sales. Il manquait des lattes sur le sommier. Aucun service pour pouvoir réclamer quoi que ce soit ni même un seche cheveux ou du papier toilette. D'ailleurs un seul rouleau de papier toilette était a notre disposition alors que nous étions 3 pour une durée de 5 jours. Aucun moyen de changer ou de laver nos serviettes de bain. Vitre fendue dans la chambre on avait froid car impossible de monter le radiateur et j'en passe...

Mi hanno mandato le indicazioni per entrare nella struttura, erano precise non abbiamo avuto problemi. L'appartamento era pulito ed ordinato, si trova vicino alla metropolitana e c'e' un ristorante turco gestito da gente molto gentile.

worst hotel

Awful hotel, staff were unavailable at all the first day so ended up in an unlock able room that smelt absolutely awful. No remote for tv, builders outside, had to climb over ladders in the dark to get to room. Do not recommend avoid this place

Véritable taudis !!!!! Passez votre chemin !!

Nous avions réservé 5 nuits pour 2 dans un studio standard. À l'arrivé, première surprise l'établissement est en travaux (échafaudage tout le long de la façade, trous et fils qui sortent du plafond sur le palier de la chambre). Une odeur insoutenable de canalisation était présente dans l'appartement mais impossible d'aérer la chambre lorsque nous partions en balade étant donné que les ouvriers se trouvaient derrière notre fenêtre tous les jours de 9h à 17h... (imaginez l'odeur à la fin de la journée !!!) En plus de ça, des fenêtres simple vitrage et cassées couronnait le tout ! Les personnes ayant le dos fragile, le lit n'est pas fait pour vous, sommier inconfortable et bruyant. La salle de bain ou plutôt salle d'eau (vu la taille ) laissais à désirer (endroits réparés sommairement par du scotch) Pour finir nous n'avions pas de chaises pour manger... Seul solution : tirer le lit en guise de chaise. Seul point positif : Les transports à proximité, Picadilly à 20 Minutes à peine en métro !
