We arrived expecting a very small studio apartment and that was confirmed but not as small as we had imagined. For a couple who spent most of the day exploring London, this was great accomodation, central to Russell Square, Kings Cross St Pancras and Euston stations. My only criticism would be the extremely small shower recess and the staff smoking outside our ground floor window. Otherwise an extremely enjoyable stay with a very helpful 24 hour reception. Would definately stay here again when in London.
Jamie Woolgar, Young couple - Posted: Thu 3rd May 2012
The property was nice and the room had everything that we needed, but when we got back to our room we realised that the entrance hall must have been above us as the room was really noisy. I would have said something but it was already 11pm and we did not want the hassle of moving to another room. When paying over £100 for the room this was disappointing and I do not think we would stay at this venue again.

Arthur Minchin, Mature couple - Posted: Wed 25th Apr 2012
The studio apartment was a first-class base for our three days in London. The apartment is small, so our organised natures and previous experience with caravanning were a help. One suggestion is that if space under the double bed could be used for storing suitcases, there would be much less congestion in the apartment. We would highly recommend these apartments as excellent value for money. We are looking forward to our next visit later next month.

It was a tiny studio appartment, but it was great. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed very comfortable. A quiet place inbetween many little shops and many subway stations.
We would definetely stay there again.
Chris, Young couple - Posted: Mon 9th Apr 2012
Very close to the Central Londons Sights; Nice neighborhood with everything you need (coffe houses, Pubs, stores, bicycle hire system, underground station; Our standard apartment on the 3rd floor was equipped very well with a double bed, armchair, kitchen with microwave oven, stove+oven, toaster, kettle, fridge and freezer, wardrobe with safe and hairdryer, shelf with tv and dvd player, bathroom with shower, small wash basin, toilet and towels; Bar-table with 2 chairs; We would recommend the apartment for young and mid-aged couples or singles, but not for seniors and families (small space, lots of stairs; We liked the fruits and the acessoires supplied on our arrival. The standard apartment is relatively small but very nice and well equipped. We would definely come back!
Joshua Barry, Young couple - Posted: Sun 8th Apr 2012
Room too small for 2 people
Angela Mawbey, Solo traveller - Posted: Fri 6th Apr 2012
I didn't actually get the apartment that was confirmed online, but the person who checked me in said that they were all similar.
This is a well-managed property and I would certainly stay there again.
Dianne Bevan, Mature couple - Posted: Sun 1st Apr 2012
This was perfect for a short stay in London, very clean and pretty well equipped with friendly staff. Close to Euston and Kings Cross/St Pancras. A good range of small shops close by too and some places to eat and pubs. Only two suggestions - our studio was underneath reception and the creaky floors woke me early as people left, so request a room at the back perhaps? Also, there was no coffee maker of any description, would have been useful.
Doug, Solo traveller - Posted: Thu 29th Mar 2012
The studio is small but quite functional. The kitchen facility is adequate for mid-level cooking. It is quiet. The neighborhood and location for access to all of London is great. Very clean. No hassle management. Value for quality is superb.
Jens from Duisburg, Young couple - Posted: Mon 26th Mar 2012
Good place to stay in London. Staff is very friedly. Rooms are clean and location is great.
Internet access and washing machines sometimes did not work, expect really tiny rooms! But overall a clear recommendation.
Michael John from Lancaster, Other - Posted: Sat 24th Mar 2012
Small but well designed, modern, fully equipped and very clean. Attractive situation.
Blanaid O'Regan, Young couple - Posted: Tue 20th Mar 2012
As always this is a great place to stay. Comfortable and clean.
sue cowling, Business traveller - Posted: Fri 16th Mar 2012
I found the apartment very good. The facilities are good and it is much cleaner and sprucer than many hotels I have used in London. I suppose the only issue is that It would be very small for 2 people , but this was a standard studio. Perhaps some are larger.Great being able to cook a meal when there a few days.
Romana from Vienna, Business traveller - Posted: Thu 8th Mar 2012

Odd "kitchen" facilities with no space for food prep and almost hidden power sockets. No tea towels for drying dishes/cutlery. However otherwise a pleasant small room with curious extras (sewing kit, razor, toothbrush, cotton buds) hidden in little cardboard parcels in various places and an elegant bowl of fruit on arrival. Bed and shower were perfect and the little patio ideal for me so overall great for a short stay and excellent value. Perhaps rather smaller but certainly better than any hotel room.
Penelope Kate Shipman, Young couple - Posted: Tue 28th Feb 2012
Would have been nice to have a cafetiere in the room.
Helen, Business traveller - Posted: Fri 10th Feb 2012
Although the property is relatively small, the use of space is good, and the facilities are good. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the inclusion of toiletries and fruit was a nice touch. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
Jeff (exDublin/NYC), Solo traveller - Posted: Sat 4th Feb 2012
London can be a challenging city to get a happy balance in the location, comfort/amenities and value equation. I have gone upmarket and was invariably disappointed on the VFM metric. Chain brand budget hotels actually seemed even worse i.e., getting so much less and still paying a relatively high price. The Cartwright Garden Apartments on the other hand feel like a different model, a serviced apartment with modern, efficient fittings (incl flat screen TV and free wireless), close to a national rail/underground and at a price less than the last budget hotel that I stayed it. In addition, the office management and supporting staff couldn't have been more helpful. The compromise, and not much of one, is that the single room that I had was small, but the layout was so efficient. Not a problem.

Ruth Hawksworth, With friends - Posted: Fri 13th Jan 2012
Cartwright Gardens was the most wonderfully clean, modern, beautifully decorated accomodation I have stayed in in London. 5 minutes away from Russel Square tube station and a 20 minute walk from Oxford Street. We loved the appartment from day one and would have no hesitation booking again asap!!! We knew reception was available 24 hours a day but weren't bothered by anyone throughout our whole stay. I would thoroughly reccomend this accomodation (as I have to all my family and friends!!)and can't wait to get back there!!

Had a lovely stay in one of the patio studios - great if you are a smoker or just like a bit of outdoor space. Rooms are compact, but well arranged and goo quality kit. Very quiet, with the sirens and shouts of central london a distant drone. Bed very comfortable. Staff lovely and helpful. Would stay again.
chris harris, Young couple - Posted: Tue 20th Dec 2011
Perfect location. Room very small but fine for our needs. The bed however was awfull! Cheap sofa bed with two cheap mattresses! Would expect better for the cost
Hermance from Amsterdam, Business traveller - Posted: Tue 20th Dec 2011
The apartment is new and clean, with everything you need. However, the images on internet via the site I booked do not correspond with the tiny room I got. The kitchen is practically in your bed. On the other hand, the bed sleeps good and the (tiny) shower is very good and to me that is most important. You have to be very slim though to be able to reach the bed, stand in the bathroom and take your clothes in or out of the closet. I would recommend it because it is not expensive, but clean and otherwise nice. There is a 24 h reception and the people are very friendly. I was unlucky to stay in the apartment on the street side where the garbage was collected and the cleaners would meet: so it is noisy already early in the morning.
David from Oxford, Business traveller - Posted: Mon 19th Dec 2011
Overall okay, quiet, central location, clean overall.
Downsides - fan not working in bathroom, bathroom ridiculously small (this would put me off booking again) particularly tiny washbasin at very low height and toilet - you can't sit straight on it!, curtains were dirty, and bed a bit soft. Would recommend, but with above comments.

We spent 2 nights over the last week-end before Christmas and we indeed really enjoyed our stay at Cartwright Gardens Apartments. The location is just perfect and the residence is very clean. People at the reception are all very polite and helpful and the service is absolutely great. It looks bright and clean everywhere. We had gone for a "patio studio" and that was just what we needed. Eventhough the bathroom is very small, it is very clean and well equipped with a powerfull heather that enable the very thick and in a very good state towels to be warm. The shower has pressure which is also great. The matress was for me a bit soft, but still ok. There was a vase of fresh flowers as well as a bowl of fruits and the necessary stuff to prepare a tea. There were even some biscuits. The patio part consist of a small table and chairs and for sure this is enjoyable when the temperature is high enough to enjoy this facility. Well the overall is extremely positive and we know that next time we decide to come to London for a week-end, we know where we will be staying. We recommand this residence with great pleasure and thank you for the way they manage the residence and for their kindness. Sandrine and Saïd
Christopher Carter, Mature couple - Posted: Tue 13th Dec 2011
This is the second time we have used these apartments within a year and if our first visit convinced us how good they are this visit confirmed it.The apartments are located within a few hundred yards of Euston station but a mile away from it in terms of being a quiet and peacefull setting in a superb
Georgian terrace. With bus and tube links in easy walking distance and clean well equipped and comfortable accommodation as well as helpfull and attentive staff we certainly had good value for money and will come again.

Our stay at Cartwright Gardens was very pleasant. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the location is great with a short walk to several underground stations. The patio apartments we stayed in are relatively small but offers a great standard and looks newly renovated. The only thing we missed was a hot plate which would enable some easier cooking(the kitchenette is equipped with a microwave). We would recommend any of our friends to stay at Cartwright Gardens!
Albert & Marta, Young couple - Posted: Fri 9th Dec 2011
The location is really good, and the service is also good. It is located near to 3 different Subway stations, and there are few supermarkets nearby. The are were it is located is quite safe, and the neighbourhood isgood as well. If you are 2 people, itis quite recomendable to book the Large Studio Apartment.
Alison Griffin, With friends - Posted: Fri 9th Dec 2011
Of the three studio rooms we had all were very clean, modern and excellent location. I would recommend and use again. The smallest studio is small for a long stay but fine for a weekend base.

Xueling from Singapore, Young couple - Posted: Mon 5th Dec 2011
The apartment was centrally located between Kings Cross and Euston Station. Bus stops and tube stations are within walking distance of the apartment. The neighbourhood whilst being ideally located was still able to provide privacy.
The apartment was well equipped with a common laundry room, and kitchenette within the room itself. I will definitely recommend this apartment to friends wwho visit London in the future. The price per night is definite well spent ffor the location and facilities. The 24 hour reception service was fantastic !
Kate from Falmouth, Mature couple - Posted: Mon 5th Dec 2011

excellent location and apartment was clean and tidy. As my room was on lower ground level, housekeeping was constantly chatting (very distracting!). They always had towels and sheets strewn all over the place which made it very messy and hard to walk through. Apart from that, the other staff were very helpful with my requirements. Room was very small for the price i was paying but it was newly furbished and good enough for one (although they stated it sleeps 2).

best bits-the central location, easy access to several tube stations and the customer service. the friendly man on reception let me print off some etickets from his computer.
worst bits-an overly excited fire alarm (steam from the kettle set it off!) the communal iron leaked rusty water from its base over one of my favourite shirts. the iron itself is useless as it doesn't get hot enough to actually remove creases!!
the rooms are small but perfectly clean and comfortable.
we would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was very clean and toiletries were provided. Although the space was not huge, there was everything to hand, including microwave, fridge, freezer, two-ring hob and laundry facilities in the basement. Location was good, being close to Euston Station and within easy walking distance of St Pancras.
There was an abundance of supermarkets close to hand and plenty of places to eat at reasonable prices.
I would have liked a couple of egg cups in the room but other than that couldn't fault it.
Lauretta Wozniczko, Business traveller - Posted: Tue 29th Nov 2011
Great room - compact, but with everything needed. Excellent location - quiet, but within easy walking distance of a number of underground stations. Will definitely stay again.

big disappointment
Varsha Panjwani, Business traveller - Posted: Sun 27th Nov 2011
I really liked staying here. The check-in staff were friendly and helpful; the location was excellent. I stayed for a week, however, and no one collected the rubbish from the flat. Nor was there any good arrangement for disposing garbage. This is my only major complaint. On a less sugnificant note, a washing machiene in the premesis would have been convenient. Otherwise the stay was excellent.
Anne-Marieke, Young couple - Posted: Sat 26th Nov 2011
Clean, comfortable and quiet. And location was super. Excellent value for money! Would definitely recommend it.
LOUISE SHILLING, Business traveller - Posted: Tue 22nd Nov 2011
No telephone or help by staff with bags up several steep flights of stairs.
Small rooms with view out onto a car park not the best outlook.
The carpets where old and ragged. The cupboard where high and out of reach.and the kitchette was basic and poorly designed. Would not recommend to other travellers.

My wife and I chose a room with a patio and were shocked at how small the room was when we arrived. We nearly left straight away but were too worn out to find alternative accommodation. Honestly you could not swing a cat in that space let alone sleep 2 adults. We had to move the bed at 2am because the pillows kept slipping off next to the patio doors. On the plus side the room was reasonably clean (I found thick dust when I moved the bed), its a 10 minute walk to Russell Square Tube, 10 minute walk to Euston Station, shops and pub nearby. In future I will try to find alternative accommodation.

The apartment is situated in a good quiet location close to Kings Cross, St Pancras & Euston. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with excellent customer service from the staff.
Karla, Business traveller - Posted: Mon 14th Nov 2011
The apartment was small but clean, with all you need (comfy bed, internet, kitchen), the location was good (less than 10 min walking from the metro) and the customer service was kind. The only bad experience was the booking process, the first price was one and the final price was completely different, 50% more of their original offer.
John A C from Alexandria, Business traveller - Posted: Sun 13th Nov 2011
The booking agent did not advise that the flat was a fourth-floor walkup. No others were available on checkin. The desk staff were cordial and informed and helpful. Baggage reception from the baggae shipper was good. The room was adequate but misrepresented in the photographs. The mattress should have been replaced some time ago. One duvet and cover should have been supplemented with a blanket. Four pillos were provided. There were an inadequate number of dishes. The bath was small but functional but lacked shelf space for toiletries. No washcloths were provided and no dish cloths or towels. The bath was obviously new. The IKEA kitchen was not new but functional, however the sink was in the corner and awkward to reach and use. Seating was poor -- two very uncomfortable folding chairs. One folding television tray was provided and no more. The apartment was clean the weekly housekeeping servie was adequate if not especially thorough. Maintenance calls were immediate and cordial. The room facing the garden was noisy day and night from the students in the UofL dormitory across the garden. Partying went on around the clock. Walls are paper thin so that the bathroom and bedroom noises of more spiritied neighbours are clarly audible. Earplugs are a must. Value for the money was marginal.

Several aspects of the apartment we stayed in ('standard') are excellent.
The location, the cleanliness, the front office staff are excellent ... the downside is the size of the apartment, it is SO small ... it was in the basement so the curtain had to be down for privacy. I don't think the size is reflected in the price we paid (£102 per night) but as I said, if you go in expecting it then everything else is fine, the staff are really good and helpful and the luggage store service on our last day was a real bonus.
Oh, and if you know the area , we didn't hear a tube train through the walls.
Christopher David Hay, Young couple - Posted: Thu 10th Nov 2011
Friendly staff, nice facilities, and central yet quiet location, some confusion around check-out times but apart from that loved it.
Ronald Sulman, Mature couple - Posted: Tue 8th Nov 2011
Well appointed, clean, excellent location, supermarket close by. Helpful staff. No lifts and steep stairs, small rooms.
Alison Crockett, Young couple - Posted: Mon 7th Nov 2011
Apartment was extremely small, more like a tiny bedroom with a kitchen sink next to the bed. Bed was poor quality, similar to a camp bed. No plug sockets for hairdryer etc, had do dry hair using the kettle plug socket whilst standing next to the sink. No toaster. Quite impractical.
Alan Kerr, Mature couple - Posted: Mon 7th Nov 2011
We spent 4 enjoyable nights in an apartment at this address in early October this year. The staff were very helpful, the apartment itself, though small, had everything one could expect (for the money) & the location was excellent - a short bus/underground ride from the centre of London, numerous restaurants, a laundromat & also a large modern supermarket within a pleasant walking distance. For travellers wishing to travel to Europe via the chunnel, St Pancras International terminal is only about ten minutes walk away, also.
My wife & I would have no hesitation about staying at the Cartwright Apartments in future.
John from Fontainebleau, Solo traveller - Posted: Sun 6th Nov 2011
Fantastic location for Euston, St Pancras International, Kings Cross and bus routes.
I was on my own, but the apartment would have a been a little small for two. Not somewhere to spend a lot of time but a great base for London visiting.
Comfortable bed, lovely biscuits, plentiful hot water.
To be recommended.
Elena Grilli, Young couple - Posted: Fri 4th Nov 2011
The property is beautiful and well located.
Unfortunately, the description and photos on the website are REALLY different from reality: we had a studio of hardly 9mq, where it would be impossible to have any meal and even put 2 chairs... and, for 100£ a day, we thaught it is too much. We were explained that we would have to choose the big rooms when booking (which is not at all clear when you book, and of course would cost more).
it is a real pity, otherwise the place was really ok.
Kanako Noto, Solo traveller - Posted: Fri 4th Nov 2011
Location is excellent: about 5 minutes from Russell Square, Euston, and St. Pancras, and there's also the Brunswick shopping centre with Waitrose and Boots and other shops. The apartment is very small but very clean and modern. Kitchen had everything you need. Lots of TV channels. No wi-fi but had fast ethernet connnection. Shower was tiny, even for a tiny Asian female like me. Sink is also very small you can't even wash your face so it's only for washing hands and brushing teeth. Beware there's no lift so if you are not fit and you get placed in the top floor you may have a hard time. The people are happy to help you with your luggage so it should not be such a big problem.
Overall, I enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

My only difficulty was finding the reception to check in when it was dark because the outside sign isn't lit. If that was the only problem I'd say you're doing very well.

very nice and very small
E.Tan, With friends - Posted: Thu 27th Oct 2011
The location was fantastic for the value. Staff are friendly. Apartment was very small tho (as was the double bed) - the "large studio" we paid for was more a room than an apartment. There was not even enough space to open 2 medium suit cases (or the wardrobe door). We had to shift the coffee table and chair into the kitchen so we had space to walk!. But I guess the great convenience and safety from the location was the main reason was the big plus factor.
Erin, Solo traveller - Posted: Tue 25th Oct 2011
I was surprised that for a low price (100 per night) and self catering that they included all the tolietries like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, lotion, cue tips etc. That was a very nice touch. My place was studio with kitchen. Plenty big enough for 2 people, the bed was clean and comfortable. Tiny bathroom but clean and sufficient. Free internet but only with a cord. I would have really appreciated wifi but there is a starbucks near by. Kings Cross Station is a short walk away.
Brook Grewcock, Young couple - Posted: Mon 24th Oct 2011
Our apartment was a Standard sized unit and was, modern, clean, temperature controlled and comfortable (although lacked a couch). Two points raised by many of the reviews is that the internet is wired and the apartments are small. Both points are true and if we stayed longer than a week the size might have been an issue, but for a week of sight seeing the size didn't cause us any problems. Think good sized caravan or well equipped student accommodation, as opposed to 'cramped hole'. The apartments are excellently placed, just ten minutes walk from Euston and St Pancras train stations as well as Russel Square Tube Station. Local amenities include a Waitrose, YoSushi!, corner shop, Boots and a 24hr Tesco.
We will definitely be considering a return next year.

We just had a wonderful time. Studio is nice, clean and cosy. We could stay much longer only if we could :))
Jeffrey and Anne from North Ryde, Mature couple - Posted: Mon 24th Oct 2011
We were not given the room we were originally allocated as it appeared it had been given to someone else
We were not warned about 6 flights of stairs to reach our room with heavy suitcases considering our age
Gail from Bowdon, Mature couple - Posted: Fri 21st Oct 2011
Would have been slightly happier with fewer cupboards and a little more space but overall an excellent find - especially the quiet location so close to Euston.Only criticism was cracked floor tiles in the otherwise very clean shower room.
Mohamed KAMMOUN, Other - Posted: Fri 21st Oct 2011
it was very nice
the only problem that the studio were on the fORTH FlooR WITHOUT LEFT
Michael Shorkend, Mature couple - Posted: Thu 20th Oct 2011
The bed was extremely uncomfortable. There was zero room to get around. The TV was placed sideways to the bed.
It looked like a single room that a double bed had been had crammed into it.
There was hardly enough room to get into the shower as the sink was in the way.
We had to play musical suitcases all the time to get to the bathroom and out of the room.

Those apartments are great located close to the centre and to 2 underground stations (Euston and King's Cross). The apartment was small but clean and with a lot of facilities. Small details like toothpaste and toothbrush can make the difference.
The receptionists are not professionals but young people who work there and that caused us few problems that was solved immediately.
The price is good for London although considering the size of the apartment it could be better. Overall I would reccomend these apartments!
Brenda from Dublin, Group - Posted: Tue 18th Oct 2011
We stayed in the Patio apartments and found them just a little too compact. The bedroom was the size of most London bedrooms. In this was a very small built in kitchen. The bathroom was extremely tight but had all the toiletries required for a weekend. The room was spotlessly clean and the staff was so helpful. I would recommend these apartments.

I have stayed in London many times,often with disastrous results with the places you stay that look OK but leave you very dissapopinted,however this was not the case with Cartwright Gardens and it was great to at last be able to say what a great place it is to stay.
Marcel Nally, Solo traveller - Posted: Sat 15th Oct 2011
The studio I reserved was too small so upon seeing it I upgraded. I recommend the bigger studio.
Raymond Fay, Mature couple - Posted: Sat 15th Oct 2011
Excellent location just minutes from Kings Cross and Euston stations. We walked to Oxford St.An extremely comfortable studio apartment. The bed was so comfortable, pillows and linens ensured a very comfortable nights sleep.Kitchen and en suite were perfect. To top all this there was a fab garden that we could enjoy. We would highly recommend these apartments and could find no fault with anything.

Although we booked a large studio it was still small with a tiny shower room/ toilet.The apartment was in the basement below the hallway, so noisy, & paint was flaking off the walls
Hilary Haddon, Business traveller - Posted: Thu 13th Oct 2011
My bed was too short (and I'm only 5 foot 5 so not that tall), I didn't enjoy being woken up by cleaners talking outside at approx 7am and continuing to talk for about an hour, and the bathroom was miniscule. I would have liked to have been able to put things on a table next to the bed, so I moved the one across from where it was, but had to use the kettle on the floor. Also had to ask for someone to set the TV up as it wouldn't work. Not impressed.
Great location though.

The appartmens was not suitable for any decent stay - te only possibility to be in the appartment was to stay in bed ! no place to sit, no place to eat, no place to work with the note-book.
The place is quite noisy and it is not possible to sleep when 3-4 meters from yr windows people are very noisy ! there are student halls on the other side of the street and they stay long at night -at th street , close to the appartment building !

Zaretta Abery, Solo traveller - Posted: Thu 29th Sep 2011
Very comfortable and convenient accommodation in a very nice neighbourhood with proximity to transport links and within walking distance to a lot of major attractions. My studio was facing the back garden and I particularly enjoyed the quietness which is rare to find in the centre. People at the reception were helpful and welcoming. I had a very late arrival and all was dealt with efficiently and promptly. Couple of comments for potential improvement: washing machines in the laundry room did not work (both stayed with used water inside), laundry room and basement areas outside of some entry doors were a bit untidy, with rubbish and cleaning tools lying around. Overall very positive, really felt like home, flower baskets by the entrances made it feel very welcoming.
M.J. Tomasik, Young couple - Posted: Wed 28th Sep 2011
Had a good time, sleep comfortable, clean and quiet.A standard room is a bit small, but really good and comfortable spot!I would reccomend it !!
Susan Holt, Business traveller - Posted: Sat 24th Sep 2011
Apart from the fact that my booking wasn't in the system everything was fine. A comfy double bed and clean compact facilities. Nice touches with the toiletries. Just remember to ask for the network key when you check in as I had to go back to reception to get it. I would definitely stay again.
Shirley Lambert, Mature couple - Posted: Fri 23rd Sep 2011
Although smaller than I had expected, everything was fine, except we had to climb to the top floor - no lift. I think people who book ahould be made aware of this. It caused my husband great hardship as his knee is very sore and weak. Had we known we would have to climb over 60 stairs everytime we needed to go in or out we would not have booked the place.
Otherwise we did get wht we paid for.

The apartment was superbly located within 5 mins of several tube / train stations. Small but perfectly formed inside with everything clean, new, well looked after. Great range of amenities in the kitchen compared to other similar properties I've stayed in. Speedy internet access. When I did have a problem it was eventually handled superbly. Would definitely stay there again.

Small apartment, but clean and with all the facilities. Great location, so ideal for getting out and about in the centre of London. It was exactly what we needed to sleep, eat something and put our stuff while enjoying the city!
Jan Cremeans-Nelson, Mature couple - Posted: Tue 30th Aug 2011
This place is convenient but very basic. The price is great but you should know what you're getting into. No cleaning is provided so we stayed there 6 days and the place got rather grotty. The bed sheets were very skimpy and my husband, a big guy, pulled them off every night just by turning over. We asked for a large studio but I don't think it could have been any smaller. We didn't have an inch to spare. The chairs were folding chairs and had to be stored in the closet as there was no room to be set out. There was a tiny counter that I suppose we were supposed to eat at but we'd have to sit on top of the bed to get to it. That said, it's in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of fun pubs and nightlife and good grocery stores. Ask not to be on the street as it can be really noisy. We had a marvelous time in London so it didn't affect our trip but beware of what you're getting into.
Irene from Auckland, Mature couple - Posted: Sun 28th Aug 2011
Close to supermarkets and public transport. I would recommend to others and we stay here again

The apartments are very small and it is a shame that one side of the double bed is against the wall.The apartments are more single rather than double occupancy size. I appreciate that you cannot do anything about this.

We were expecting this to be bigger and better value than an hotel. It wasn't!
The room was no bigger than an average Travelodge/Premier Inn but with the kitchen in it the available space was very restricted even though we had opted for the "Larger Studio". The bed was actually a sofabed frame with a double mattress on it although the description stated a double bed in the larger studio. The bathroom was only the width of a standard shower and about twice as long - I had to step out of the room to dry myself and I am average build - a larger person would not have been able to use the toilet even.
The windows were very drafty and because old single glazed sashes the traffic noise even 3 floors up was quite intrusive.

I stayed at Cartwright gardens with a friend to go into the west end for a night....we loved it here and will definatly recommend it for couples, singles and groups as location is fantastic...2 mins walk from Kings Cross Station. There are many pubs and restuarants within walking distance and shops to if you fancied eating in....but what we liked was that we were able to jump in a tube and be in the heart of the west end in less than 10mins....definatly be using these apatments again...value for money was brillant znd friendly staff and clean too.
Cenk, Family with young children - Posted: Wed 5th Jan 2011
Good location, very clean and nice apartments. Only our room was small, and third floor without lift.
ROUX GONZALEZ, Family with young children - Posted: Thu 23rd Dec 2010
To improve: space to put beauty product in the bathroom. We also would have like to get cleaning more than once a week. Otherwise, it was a great stay. We were able to cook breakfast every morning, some diner and even invite friends who were amazed about the space. And there were enough space even with a baby. The subway and St pancras station is at 5 minutes walking and supermarket is close.
Elizabeth from Manchester, Young couple - Posted: Fri 17th Dec 2010
Was a small but perfectly formed apartment, with excellent facilities. Location great, in a most interesting part of London (and one often over looked for the more usual tourist destinations).
Staff great...
Marco from Sassari, Mature couple - Posted: Thu 16th Dec 2010
The location is very convenient and the staff very helpful. The rooms are ok, although the very narrow sink in the bathroom and the absence of lights by the beds is a bit annoying.

Otherwise- very happy
James Godwin, Mature couple - Posted: Fri 24th Sep 2010
Although the apt was very small it had everything that we needed except for a few minor cooking implements. The bed was very comfortable. The area was very quiet and the shops and restaurants were most convenient. The only complaints we had were the exceptionally small sink in the bathroom and the design of the sink in the kitchen, which was difficult to access without bumping one's head on the kitchen cabinets.
David from Eyemouth, Business traveller - Posted: Fri 17th Sep 2010
Small studio apartment. Good facilities and all very clean with nice extra touches like coffee/tea etc, which a lot of apartments don't provide.
Very friendly people on reception, shown to room and shown how everything worked.
All in all very satisfied.

I was surprised the comfort I got in this apartment, with whole lot of facilities,you name it and it was there and the main thing the free internet services,it was all so amazing and a great sweet experience living in this great locality, I am definitely coming back for sure and for a longer stay, it was just a lot more than I expected,wow.
Thank you for making my stay comfortable!
Britt from Exeter, Business traveller - Posted: Wed 21st Jul 2010
For me, this is perfect. I am close to where I need to be, not far from the tube, it is quiet and peaceful but still close to shops and restaurants etc. The free internet is especially appreciated as I work a lot while being in my room.
The standard of the apartment is outstanding and I cannot think of anything else I could possibly need. Oh maybe one thing! Not enough hooks to hang the towels on, in the bathroom. And maybe more clothes hanging facilities in the cupboards (for longer clothes like dresses, coats etc.)
Also, if the check-out time could be extended to 12 - that would be fantastic.
But overall - I am very happy with your service, the staff really take care of you with a smile on their faces. I will certainly use you every time I'm in London in the future!
Jill from Leeds, Young couple - Posted: Mon 21st Jun 2010
Overall very good. The apartment was of course fairly small but fine for a couple of nights. It was very clean and comfortable. The reception staff were excellent - very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again as good value for money for central London - only 5 min walk from kings X and 5 mins to Russel Sq. The apartment was also very quiet (no road noise) - even though we had all windows open all night. Generally very good.
