Area was very noisy with multiple sirens from police and ambulance throughout the day, but felt like especially at night. Had to leave small window open because it was very hot in London and there was no air conditioning. It was sweltering hot at night and difficult to sleep. Washer has dryer setting but couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Clean, close by 2 subway stations, liked two levels and kitchen area.

Awesome place and great location

The stay was simply awesome. Communication with Bob W was easy and the keyless entry worked perfectly. The only small thing was we wanted to make up the sofa bed late at night and there wasn’t any bedding to do so in our room or the luggage store. Other than this it was amazing.

The property is on a busy street in a great location. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There are lots of options for food, entertainment, and access to multiple Underground stations within a few minutes of the front door. The staff were accessible online, answering questions reasonably quickly. I would recommend staying here to anyone, but make sure you have earplugs for nights.

Excellent stay at BoB W Commercial House. The room was really big all needed amenities, even coffee and tea were there to be used. Everything has been renovated and the room was spotlessly clean. The communication with the property was very easy and the hotel checked if the check-in and room was good. They were. The area is very close to city and there are good transportation options available to go and explore London. Very good stay.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Bob's apartment! The apartment is lovely, nice view, very well equipped, very well located (tube station a couple of minutes away, 20 minutes walk to the Tower Bridge, there are a number of restaurants and cafés and a supermarket nearby). The communication with the staff was very easy, they were welcoming and thoughtful. We enjoyed our stay very much and would absolutely recommend to everybody (also for couples with kids, the sofa bed is a real comfortable bed where even two adults could fit)! We would certainly choose Bob's apartment again!

We love Bob W! It is clean, comfortable and cute. It even has a washer/dry in the room, which is a huge plus for people who want to trave light but want to wear clean clothes-- just I wish I knew it when I booked the hotel. It is also very considerate to provide the UK power adapter whcih is another huge plus. The only thing we don't like it the low water pressue in shower, and tube bottom is not flat and presents risk of falling when taking shower.

We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the unit - it was also larger than others we had looked at. The separate areas were perfect for two parents and two teenage sons (the boys especially appreciated the two separate blankets on the pull out sofa). The surrounding area was really nice (loved having a juice kiosk and sandwich shop on the doorstep) and had a subway station at the end of the street. The only slight negatives would be walking up three flights of stairs with our large suitcases and the unit didn’t have air conditioning so was hot as hell when we arrived - we opened the windows and it had cooled by the next morning…. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Bob W Commercial House London! Our apartment met all our needs and even exceeded the expectations from the moment we walked in. The place was equipped with everything we needed, it was modern and beautiful. The bed was beyond comfortable - me and my friends had the best sleep in ages! Even the sofa was unexpectedly comfy. The view from the windows was also really pretty, especially at nighttime. The location was amazing - near the city centre (5 minute walk to the metro station and 10 minute walk to the train station). The staff was super friendly and helpful. They even had a polaroid camera in the room and they told us we could take pictures with it and add to their photo wall, which was a very nice touch. We felt truly welcome. I will definitely recommend this property to my friends and stay again myself!

Just perfect!

Wonderful, comfortable stay in london! Will definitely be back. The apartment was just perfect, and the team is incredibly responsive if you may need anything. The bedroom is larger than a typical hotel room, plus there is a full kitchen and living room area with a pullout. Our son slept on the pull out but it was honestly the most comfortable sleeper sofa mattress I’ve ever felt, so would be perfect for an adult too. The bed in the bedroom was SO comfortable. We had two amazing nights of sleep. Can’t beat having laundry too. The nighborhood is very cool and well-connected. The extra little perks like an Instax Camera to borrow (with film!), a tote bag, and cookies took the stay over the top. Loved everything about this place!!!! You’d have a hard time finding anything in this price range with this level of comfort. Thanks so much!!!!

This was the best place to stay while I was working in London! Absolutely wonderful experience and so amazingly located with all shopping bars and dining you could ask for!! Literally just outside your door is an abundance of amazing East end London spirit and just a walk away from the Uber cool Shoreditch. i stayed in one of the studios for almost 3 weeks and this place felt like a home away from home. The convenience of having a kitchen and washing machine was awesome! And you have groceries just 2 mins walking distance. I run a lot so seeing the tower bridge and London bridge took only 10 mins and even ran to Buckingham Palace which only took 45 mins. However there’s also the 3 minute walk to the tube Aldgate East or Liverpool st stations which allow you access to all of London! I also took advantage of their gym access even though it was a 10 minute walk. Communicating with management was impeccable and so quick to respond with any query. If you enjoy where all the action of East London and want to live like a Londoner without feeling like a tourist, this is such a wonderful place to stay!! I look so forward to staying at their other properties all over the world!! Thank you so much for making me feel so at home Bob!!

Disliked: Amenities, communication
To begin with we didn't realize that there wasn't a lift. Carrying luggage for a family of five was difficult. Second of all there was hair on the floor of our apartment. (We had 2) The one apartment was on the street and the noise was bad. Air didn't work so we needed windows open. The apartments are spacious and the bathrooms are nice. The washer worked well but the dryer not so well. On the second day our code didn't work. We called four times and got no answer. Emails are answered on the second day which is fine unless you are locked ouit. Finally another person opened the door but we were still locked out of our rooms. I don't think I would ever again stay at a place that didn't have an on-site person. But we knew that going in that there was not going to be one. Close to the Tower of London so that was convenient. Restaurants are plentiful and varied around so that was a plus. All in all, just not my cup of tea. The next time I will go with a place that has a front desk person and someone to take care of the kinks. I am sure for most people this would be a great place.
