Very nice and clean.

Cons:

The sofa bed was not very comfortable. It needs replacing with a better model.

Se putea mai bine
Pros:

Locația este bună, relativ aproape de centru și gara. Există o singura linie de autobuz (C10) care vine la interval de 10 minute. Apartamentul este curat și dotat cu tot ce este necesar, mai puțin aer condiționat.

Cons:

Mi-aș fi dorit sa nu scriu nimic în această secțiune, dar atitudinea unor persoane de la recepție nu a fost tocmai profesionala, ca sa ma exprim elegant.
Am ajuns la locație pe la 10AM , după un zbor de 3:20 și o oră de mers cu trenul de la Luton la Londra. Știam ca vom avea camera disponibilă după ora 15 și am întrebat dacă ne pot da acces la o toaletă, iar doamna de la recepție ne-a indicat sa mergem la un Starbucks, ceea ce mi s-a părut un comportament foarte urât față de niște clienți care au plătit peste 1.100 EUR pentru 4 nopți. Am făcut formalitățile de check in și am plecat pe străzi sa ne plimbăm și sa găsim o toaletă.
Când ne-am întors seara la locație sa primim cheia, ni s-a spus de către altă doamna de la recepție sa așteptăm, ca mai sunt alți clienți care își așteaptă rândul la check-in.
Într-un final am primit cheia de la un apartament situat la etajul 7( ultimul în acea aripă de clădire) în care era foarte cald ( afara fiind 30 grade), iar cu geamurile deschise au început sa intre în camere muște și țânțari.
Am sesizat asta la recepție și ni s-a recomandat sa utilizam un ventilator.
Legat de curățenie, nu a trecut nimeni în cele 5 zile, nici măcar sa ia gunoiul.
La acești bani sunt sigur ca există proprietăți mult mai ok și cu personal mai prietenos. Noi sigur nu vom recomanda.

Better than a hotel for space and facilities but just needs attention to small details which would make the difference
Pros:

Location and the space

Cons:

Incredibly hot no air conditioning no hooks to
Hang anything on in bathroom no grab rails for getting in and out of the bath shower an accident waiting to happen. No WiFi. Sofa uncomfortable to sit on and kept moving apart. Not enough lifts.

Great for money
Pros:

Close enough to Borough station, not in a "dodgy" area, easy to get in and access, felt safe, nice sized rooms and all amenities were working fine. Reception area and staff were great and it was a very smooth check-in experience.

Cons:

No AC or fans and was quite hot and it was a little loud with windows open, but it was ok and a really small gripe as was otherwise very pleasant. Bed could have been a little softer I guess.

انصح به اذا تم حل مشكلة التكييف
Pros:

موظفين ودودين و خدومين ، شقق نظيفة مكتملة الخدمات ، اقرب الى فندق من ناحية الخدمات

Cons:

1- لا يوجد تكييف
2- الشمس تضرب في الحوائط الزجاجية مما يجعها حاره جدا
3- عندما سكناه كانت رائحته الوحده قويه من الطبخ اعتقد من الضيف الذي قبلنا
4- بعد الوحده عن المصاعد مسافة بعيدة
