Barking Vacations

Great location, beds comfortable, breakfast buffet excellent

The staff was outstanding we could not have found better service anywhere else. The food was outstanding. We just really enjoyed our stay there and we will definitely be going back there again.

The staff is very kind and welcoming. The facilities and room were clean. Access to the bus was excellent (several just a few steps away); for the tube, it's a 10 minute walk. Having a second room with a kitchenette made the stay more pleasant. The beds were comfortable. However, the bathroom has a barn door and it about a foot away from one of the twin beds. The light switch is outside the door which means that there is no way to avoid shining a light on everyone if you use the facilities at night. The laundromat was a great add but was extremely crowded. Breakfast had a wide variety of foods but was busy and chaotic. There are only 2 elevators for over 100 rooms which means long waits in the am between people going for breakfast &/or check-out.

The location in Soho was amazing, and worth the trade off of the noise from the bar under the flat. Just a few minutes to walk to the Tube station and many theaters. The flat has a nice set up with a bedroom with a door and the living space (with the sofa bed) with a door. So there is some privacy in a somewhat small space. The bathroom - and the shower - is very small. It was hard to move in the shower. Nowhere to put anything down (eg toiletry bag) in the bathroom. It was great to have laundry facilities in the unit, this was extremely helpful as we were on a long trip. The kitchen was also well stocked and we enjoyed eating a meal in the unit. While soaps/shampoos were provided, it was only enough for one day so may want to bring your own. The main thing that was disappointing was there were many lightbulbs out in the unit (5 total) and none of our communication with the hosts were responded to throughout our stay.
