Stamford Street Apartments

It's a room and a bed, basic bathroom with a shower and half the price of actual hotels. Great for a traveler on a budget. No frills, it's fine. Windows to the street are noisy, get inside quad facing if you can

It is not bad

Terrible bedding and dirty windows

Given the exorbitant cost of most London accommodation, Stamford Street Apartments are exceptionally reasonable. The staff are unfailingly pleasant and helpful. However, as is perhaps to be expected at such a low cost, there are problems. The room was very spartan. There was no shower curtain or bath mat (I was able to secure 2 of the latter from reception eventually). There is no reading-lamp over the bed or bedsite table or stand, which is awkward if you like to read in bed. The traffic noise, even with the double-glazed window closed (and the weather was excruciatingly hot!), was relentless all night. Finally, it was a little startling to have only the option of instant coffee with breakfast (I'm not a tea drinker). All that said, I was made welcome for two nights and wasn't out of pocket afterwards.

Prefect location on southbank. Building very safe as 24 hour reception and security. Need a key fob for every part of the building. It was summer holidays as no students there so very quiet. Room is just a bed in a box which it prefect for the price and just somewhere to sleep. Free breakfast is cereals and pasteries, and on until 10.30am. I would recommend if want cheap safe place to sleep, would defo stay again

The staff was very nice and helpful. The room nice and clean and comfortable.

Very basic room with just bed and desk, yet appealing if you like utilitarian style. Worst part was musty smell from bathroom. Noise from street can be an issue if you are sensitive. Nothing to write home about but will get you through the night OK. Easy pleasant walk to Covent Garden area over Waterloo Bridge.

I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff members were pretty friendly. I stayed in a newly-renovated room. It was cozy and everything looked great.

I stayed at these dorms for a week. Just came back. What can I say? If the price is most important for you, then go ahead and book your stay. If not, just pass on it. The standard single bedrooms are too small and uncomfortable. There is no TV. And there is that God damn bathrooms. The sink has two fossettes, one for boiling hot and the other for ice cold water. Unbelievable! You have to wash your face with ice cold water. The shower area is another British antic. The water goes all over, around the toilet sit and under the sink. There is a drain, but the floor is not on level, so the water can go in it. Then, with wet feet you step on the carpet, which is very dirty because of that. Even though there is a big garden in the middle of the dorm, you cannot smoke there. The permitted area is Stamford Street or Cornwall Street. To sweeten my post a little, I have to admit some good things as well. First: Day shift reception girls are very professional and ready to help. The breakfast at the other building, across the street, is very good. And third, the location is just fantastic. Bus # 381 goes almost everywhere in London and the stop is just next to the main entrance. You don't need to buy day pass tickets. One ride cost 1.75 pounds. You can just touch the small screen next to the driver's cabin with your Debit or Credit card, which has Mastercard or Visa logo. It's very easy and convenient. Everything in London is more expensive than in the USA, so be well prepared. Better pas

Advertised as a ‘hotel’ when it was student accommodation in summer holiday season. Room was just a bed, desk, with a small side room with a toilet, basin and a small shower. Bedding and pillow were stained Breakfast included… was told it was self service continental. Went to the stove, selected a croissant and a pain au chocolate, only to be told by the lady behind the counter I was only allowed one item! For drinks, it was an urn of hot water with various coffees and teas. The cups were the smallest cups I’ve ever seen. Ended up going to a local cafe. Service was fine which saved it from being a 1 star. Friendly and explained everything fully with 2 sheets of paper. Was taken to the floor that my room was as I’d never been before Overall, very disappointed

No clean.

The room I stayed in included a bed, desk, desk chair with stains and dirt on the seat, wardrobe to hang clothes in, and a private bathroom. The bedding and towels were clean. I did mark down the stay on cleanliness because the entire accomodation felt like a rushed cleaning job was done and was visibly dirty. A heads up on the bathroom (at least mine) was tiny like an airplane bathroom. The shower has no barrier so the water will easily get all over the place and is not very functional as the drain did not work well. But it does have a functioning toilet, sink, and shower head. I understand that due to price and location, this flat can realistically only check so many boxes. Location is conveniently near the London Eye and easy walking distance to Westminster Bridge and some food choices.

Enjoyable stay. The security measures were very much appreciated Staff were professional and very helpful. Conveniently located to restaurants, train/bus stations and many London attractions. Would definitely stay here again.

Great basic place to lay your weary head. Traffic noise at the front of the building is excessive so take ear plugs just in case.

All went very well. Room was small but adequate , bed was very comfortable , staff were really helpful. As my room was on the first floor, street fronting, so the traffic noise and a lot of sirens from police, ambulance etc was causing my sleep to be disturbed during the night. Saying that, I enjoyed my stay overall.

microwave, refrigerator, and kettle are not for use.

Staff were brilliant and the room was comfy. The bathroom wasnt clean enough for me with hair in the shower and on the back of the toilet. Very noisy but it is London so cant be helped.

Location and price can’t be beaten. Comfy bed, but it’s not a hotel, it’s a halls of residence outside of term time. Aslong as you lower your expectations, you’ll be fine. Clean enough and neat enough for a few nights. Expect just a bed and a shower.

This is like students accommodation with total basic and I mean total basic, bed and table. The carpet was stricken and you couldn’t sleep with the noise outside with constant traffics.

It is the third time I have stayed here . During that time the accommodation has deteriorated . Issues with bathroom floors and lights not working . The location is great as it possible to walk the the national theatre and good local transport. Breakfast also deteriorated and rather basic . The accommodation staff helpful,but the restaurant staff rather officious Not sure if I would stay here again
