The maps were all wrong and since I based all my planning on the fact that this apartment for two was supposed to be at Trafalgar Square it was a bit disappointing however SoHo was nice and restaurants and subway’s were close. ##### Jessica Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### mary 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall our stay was comfortable. The apartment is small but fine for two people. We reached out to the landlord once and they answered immediately, not the friendliest but took care of our issue. The shower is exceptionally small so if your a bigger person keep that in mind. Kitchen was great as was living room. There was a washing machine and drying rack that we used and appreciated it being available. The bed is a double, very firm mattress with horrible hard pillows, really my only complaint. The location is in Soho and the Underground is walkable. You will walk a lot on this visit to London. Lots of shops, restaurants and pubs everywhere. I would recommend this apartment. ##### mary Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness #### Basic - yes - but perfect location for me Ok, let's cover the challenges first - if you are looking for hotel quality service standards then look elsewhere! This place is EXACTLY as described - a BASIC, SMALL apartment (essentially a studio), in the heart of Soho that makes it an ideal location for exploration and business trips. A couple of minutes walk from Oxford Street, Oxford Circus underground station and Tottenham Court Road underground station. So it was a great 'base of operations' for me. For those that want it, the vibrant (& sometimes 'interesting'!) nightlife of Soho is on your doorstep. So, given these pluses, be aware of what this also means. It is an apartment on a busy street in a busy part of town. So if you need perfect silence to sleep (ear plugs are provided by your hosts) then look elsewhere! Also, if you have disabilities or mobility problems, then one of the factors not well advertised is that this is a 3rd floor flat accessed via a narrow staircase - 50 quite steep steps. The apartment itself is quite tired, but clean and perfectly adequate. I was very happy with it - ultimately you get what you pay for and this suited me better than a much more expensive hotel in the area. One last point to note - if you don't know London well, don't be fooled by the Hotels.com location marker for this place. It is NOWHERE near the area shown!! It is the other side of Chinatown and theatre land, so a brisk 20 minute walk to Trafalgar Square etc. Would I stay again? Yes, absolutely. ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Edward 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Very misleading This is a studio apartment and worked OK for me I suppose ... but the description as published on hotels.com is extremely misleading. Firstly, the place is nowhere near Trafalgar Square or the position as shown on the map. It is quite a long walk away and, in fact, quite a walk from any public transport (bus, tube etc.). Secondly, it is on the third floor, up quite steep stairs - which in some places have no hand rail by which to haul yourself up. Thirdly, the furniture all seems to have been changed since the photos were taken. So - yes, it's OK and not too badly priced (for London!😱) but I think the hotels.com entry needs a thorough re-edit as it is extremely misleading in quite a few ways as I (and a number of other reviewers) have detailed. I'm sorry but I don't think I'd choose this place again. ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terje 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Sentralt og helt perfekt for to personer som ønsker å være sentralt i London. Kan anbefales ##### Terje Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark 25 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Its on the third floor I think the review should have said it was a third floor flat, no lift and very steep tight stairs. I have breathing problems and getting up and down was a really exhausting task. The flat is exactly as shown. There is a lot of road noise but they give you earplugs for sleeping. The other major problem was the wi-fi kept failing and some sites were blocked for access. I had legal papers I had to send / receive and there were problems. The facilities were great in kitchen. Comfortable bed and linen was spotless. But bathroom sink was badly blocked so it filled with the plug up! ##### Mark Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica 31 May 2024 ##### Erica Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ken 20 Jun 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Ken Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton London Wembley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Wembley.h4921092.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Richmond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Richmond-Harbour-Hotel-Spa.h10269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Angel Islington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Angel-Islington.h436270.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [a&o London Docklands Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ao-London-Docklands-Riverside.h2456.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Greenwich.h519817.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [London Marriott Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Marriott-Hotel-Regents-Park.h4481.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Park Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Park-Royal.h15118023.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Chelsea-Harbour-Hotel.h16413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-New-Providence-Wharf-Hotel.h1658062.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gantry London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Curio-Collection-By-Hilton-London.h48879811.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft London Excel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aloft-London-Excel.h4292527.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Stratford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Stratford.h19544649.Hotel-Information) > > [The International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-International-Hotel.h1949.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London Canary Wharf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Canary-Wharf-Hotel.h16181347.Hotel-Information) ---
