“Talk about a home away from home - I'd happily move in permanently!!”

This is an apart-hotel which means it's essentially a set of small appartments which can be booked like a hotel (on a nightly basis). The neighbouring hotels looked a bit shabby, but the front garden at So Sienna was nicely manicured and this gave me a bit of hope that I might have made a good choice. The reception area did not exactly inspire confidence in terms of its appearance-- although the check-in staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The stairway up to my room similarly didn't exactly look flash. So it was quite a surprise then to open the door to my room and find what was without doubt the NICEST set of rooms I've ever had the pleasure to stay in. Aside from the bedroom there was also a living room/kichenette and two bathrooms (one ensuite for the bedroom, and the other ajoining the living room/kitchenette-- for if you have guests over.) The furnishing was well chosen and comfortable. The living room and bedroom both well lit. and the windows could be opened to provide good ventilation. Unfortunately, I was only there for a one night stay. When I checked out I asked the manager if they did discounted weekly/ monthly rates... because honestly, I liked it so much I was already thinking it would make a great base in London for a longer visit! I'm actually reluctant to submit this review as I'm afraid it might cause them to be sold out, or be far more expensive, next time I come to town... but I've never felt any place deserved a good review more!
