The main door was inaccessible unless you forced the latch with a sharp implement (we used a metal nail file). 3. There's a broken ironing board and no iron. 4. The single room has no furniture other than a bed and little table and only one flat pillow. 5. The wardrobe has hangers but no rail to hang them on. 6. Why ask us for an EXTRA £10 security non-refundable payment after booking - why not just add it on the the price? This little apartment has the promise/potential to be excellent, just needs some things ironing out (excuse the pun!) ##### Karen Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton London Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Metropole.h26134.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Birmingham.h15832.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Edwardian-Manchester.h1044199.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Birmingham Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hilton-Birmingham-Metropole.h436233.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Paddington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Paddington.h598182.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [Titanic Hotel Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Titanic-Hotel-Liverpool.h7763320.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge London Covent Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Travelodge-London-Covent-Garden.h23389.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [London Hilton on Park Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Hilton-On-Park-Lane.h26769.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The Municipal Hotel Liverpool - MGallery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-The-Municipal-Hotel-Liverpool-Mgallery.h91370465.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London -Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-London-Tower-Of-London.h3977996.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information)
