Second time we’ve stayed here. Modern and clean aparthotel with Smart TV in the lounge area and in the bedroom which is always a great amenity as not a lot of hotels offer this. Helpful service from staff. Walking distance to public transport and in a location full of restaurants, shops, coffee shops, and a Boom Battle Bar. We’d stay here again.

This is a fairly new property, with very well appointed interiors. I had the residence, which was far ahead of my expectations - very spacious, honely, clean, and excellent toiletries. Above all, the staff that make this place incredible - special mention to Gosia and Mohamed for the incredible hospitality, and pleased to help me out whenever required. Must stay if it fits your budget.

It's a wonderful place with great staff and easy transport access. The 7 to 11 independent supermarket nearby with very fresh produce and fresh sourdough bread etc really makes it perfect. Muhammed who greated us upon arrival was very welcoming and professional. Second time there and not last. I tend to visit a lot of art galleries and connections to these is great. Fabulous views from the room👍. Its not SW1 or Chelsea...which is great...diversity abounds in the area👍...

The property was clean and conveniently located. However I checked in through an email they send and they had me put two security deposits down before checking in. Also they do not provide a free champagne bottle. It’s only a small glass of wine.

The room was spotless, and I really appreciated being up on the 16th floor! It provided fabulous general city skyline views (not iconic buildings)! The building was secure (room key needed in the lifts, etc). The room facilities were great, soft linens and shower room toiletries were good quality. I had to request an alternative duvet as the first was very thin and I'd been cold (unable to sleep) my first night. This was replaced without question for a really superior one. The check-in machine didn't recognise my previous online check-in and couldn't take my deposit payment, both of which were significant annoyances to the weary traveller, but soon resolved by staff. I didn't eat in the restaurant, but used the lounge and terrace areas for complimentary tea/coffee (no breakfast tea in the rooms, but some milk on arrival). A fantastic stay overall, I will definitely be staying here again.
