Location great, everything else drab and gloomy.
Pros:

The location was great with a tube stop down the road and a 3 mins walk, with local shops and cafes/bars

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable and the mattress sagged in the middle. The pillows were flat and need replacing. The shower was uninviting. We got a basement room which was dark and gloomy. There was building work going on in the room opposite which woke us and noisy neighbours above. No staff to complain to.

Loved the location, price and amenities.

Cons:

There was hair in the sheets, as if someone had shaved and brushed the stubble off onto the bed.

Pros:

We liked the location and that the room was spacious. The staff was cooperative when we asked for a favour.

Cons:

The whole bathroom was flooding every time we had a shower due to poor design, the whole floor and shower room were completely flat. The corridor outside the room was filled with cleaning equipment, towels, and was messy and not well presented. One morning we woke up and someone was doing painting works outside the flat, and there was a smell in the air. No one warned us, and in my opinion they should have the flat vacant when doing works right outside it. The access to the flat was not ideal, if the elevator broke you could not access the room. Thankfully we discovered a way to exit without using the elevator but we did not have the code to enter back in through there, which was hazardous due to my present condition. Minor compared to the rest but there was no coffee machine which is unlike most places I've stayed in.

Good location with lots to see.
Pros:

The property was close to station and walkable to the beautiful streets of Chelsea and Kensington.

Cons:

The bathroom smelt dirty and the air conditioning was terrible. Weather in London was reaching over 30 degrees and it was cooler outside than in our room.

Location excellent, bit pricey and underwhelming for what you pay
Pros:

The location was super convenient, the rooms were well stocked with the correct utilities.

Cons:

That in the price you pay, no one comes to change your bins or bedsheets unless you're having a long stay, and if you do require that service, it's an additional charge

Pros:

The location was great, so handy for getting around London.
Quiet and felt very safe. Close to the tube and a supermarket.
You could walk to some museums from the place.
Shower pressure was great. The room was a lower ground level room but had a big window which gave great natural light.
The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was battered and damaged. It was disappointing. There were marks on the walls, missing paint.
The flooring was uneven in places, on a closer look on my last morning a realized it must have been previous water damage so they removed some of the flooring and there was mould I think on the floor hidden by a rug, hence why the floor was uneven.
The fridge had an odor when it was opened.
The cabinet in the bathroom was broken when I arrived which sometimes affected the door closing.

Pros:

Konumu oda içi çok çok iyi. Oda görsellerden daha geniş. Odaya giriş süreçleri vs mail ile detaylı şekilde açıklanmıştı hiç sorun yaşamadık.

Cons:

Yan tarafta büyük bir market olması sebebi ile sabah mal kabul sesi çok fazlaydı. Sürekli geri vites sesi vardı çok erken saatte uyanmak zorunda kaldık.

מקום נחמד ללון בו מספר ימים, תמורה טובה למחיר
Pros:

הצ'ק אין היה קל ונוח, המיקום טוב, גודל החדר בהחלט הספיק לנו, המיטה היתה נוחה אך לא גדולה במיוחד לזוג, במקלחת הרצפה מחוממת אז היה נעים וכיף, המחיר סך הכל טוב ביחס לתמורה.

Cons:

במקלחת היה וילון ולא מקלחון זכוכית, וראש הדוש לא היה כל כך טוב, היה לי קצת קשה לשטוף את השמפו מהשיער (לקח הרבה זמן בגלל ראש דוש לא איכותי כל כך)
