Eine sehr gepflegte saubere Wohnung
Pros:

Eine zentral gelegene, saubere und gepflegte Wohnung. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Die Waschmaschine konnte man ebenfalls nutzen, auch das Waschpulver war vorhanden. Das Bad war sauber und gepflegt. Das Bett und das Schlafsofa waren bequem.

Cons:

Der Lüfter im Bad lief ununterbrochen, doch bei der geschlossenen Tür weniger laut zu hören.

A nice little apartment near Tower of London
Pros:

Remote entry instructions were easy to follow and worked perfectly.
The apartment was set up for 4 of us and perfect for a long weekend.
They had left basics (milk, oil, sugar etc.), very helpful.
Located close to Tower of London and nearest metro

Cons:

Apartment was quite old and a little worn in places..

Con 250 euro a notte mi sarei aspettato di più!
Pros:

1) posizione, vicina a 2 fermate della metro, vicino al supermercato!
2) letto matrimoniale, abbastanza comodo
3) cucina, c'era tutto l'occorrente!

Cons:

1) divano letto non molto comodo
2) insonorizzazione finestre, purtroppo la notte si sentono tutte le auto e i rumori provenienti dalla strada
3) caldaia e contatore del gas dentro la stanza da letto!

Eine tolle Unterkunft auch für die Familie
Pros:

Moderne und neuwertige Ausstattung. Es war alles vorhanden. Die zentrale Lage war für uns super aber dementsprechend auch nicht ruhig. Die Schlafcouch für unsere Tochter war hochwertig und auch bequem.

Another great stay at Marlyn Lodge
Pros:

The 1 bedroom apartment with fully equipped kitchen, including washer/dryer, is a great home away from home. The apartments are handy to bus stops and underground stations, making getting around to the many sights of London very easy. There’s a Tesco Express around the corner for easy meals, snacks, etc, and also a number of restaurants. So glad we found this quiet haven in busy London.

Muy bien localizado y muy cómodo
Pros:

Está muy bien ubicado, al lado De la Torre de Londres. Puedes ir caminando a la zona de la City. El metro está también muy cerca para moverte por la ciudad. Las camas y almohadas eran muy cómodas. Todo estaba limpísimo y la cocina estaba muy bien equipada. Muy recomendable

Cons:

Nada, nos ha parecido un alojamiento perfecto para nuestros días en Londres
