OK, not amazing The apartment was enormous and the staff very friendly. However, the bedroom windows have no curtains, only office type blinds - so the sun wakes you up at 6am in the summer. The windows are also single glazed so if the sun doesn't wake you up, the bin lorries at 6.30am will! Kitchen crockery was a bit old fashioned and could easily have been much better for not a lot of money.

Hertford Court Apartments - DO NOT STAY HERE Our 3 bedroom “penthouse” apartment was old, rundown and badly maintained. On arrival we were told that the boiler had broken and there was no hot water. A maintenance man arrived about 2 hours later and said the repairs would take a day. No temporary solution was available because the back up supply was burnt out and unsafe. The company said we could move to another apartment 30 mins away which was inferior. By this time it was 7pm. They said they didn’t want to pay the cost quoted by the maintenance man and wanted to get other quotes so the boiler would not be fixed the next day. In the meantime there was no controller for the TV. The staff took 30 mins to find it. Then the TV didn’t work. Another maintenance man was called. 2 hours later he finally got the TV working. This was all on the first evening whilst we were trying to unpack, shop for food and feed our children and get them to bed. I emailed Roy McKenzie of London Serviced Apartments and asked him to call me the next morning. He did not. Instead he just emailed and said he would ask the staff to send up the maintenance person. Totally unhelpful. I rang him instead and he was astoundingly rude, patronising and aggressive. In the end we negotiated directly with the staff a move down to a 2 bed apartment and a refund of one night and the difference in rent. As with the first apartment, the new one was old and rundown, eg lights with spent bulbs etc. I wouldn’t recommend these apartments or the London Serviced Apartments company to anyone. Avoid like the plague.

Towels were dirty -

London City Stay Extremely well located 2 bedroom flat in a vibrant part of the City Centre near Shopping and transportation. Carpets are old, stained and torn, they need to be replaced and windows overlooking James Street need to be sound proofed due to the presence of numerous restaurants spilling out into the Street till the wee hours. Kitchen is well equipped and adequate hot water in bathrooms. Generally an average experience that could well have been a five star experience.

Ok middle man, not great Pretty good at responding in a timely manner, but doesn't really help problem solve or track down information - e.g., photos, amenities, etc. Will pass emails back and forth between you and the provider, but doesn't help to clarify your questions or get you what you need. You'll have to do most of the work
