Astons Apartments  

It was very conveniently located.

There was no lift and lots of stairs! The room was small and the bathroom extremely small!

Clean, great location, confortable bed, fridge, etc..

Small bathroom.

Location location location, walking distance from Gloucester Road metro station, very quiet neighbourhood and very close to pubs, cool restaurants, cafes, exchange markets and supermarkets. Clean rooms, not so big but comfortable. Very good choice for a trip to London.

Convenient and simple

Cant control heating in your own room, double bed was two singles together.

Two things: an excellent location that is close to museums, tube station and the city center and kitchen in the room. The reception staff was friendly and very helpful. The area offers a variety of pleasant walks.

50 pounds securiey deposit for the key is what I never experienced before in any hotel in the world. It makes this good hotel to stand out not in a positive way. The noice insulation is quite poor. One tenant could not get into his room at 4AM. The whole hotel might heard his multiple attempts to solve the problem.

The kitchen section was cleverly hidden and while actually I didn't have time to use those facilities I was impressed by the amount of utensils available. I also found that while at first the room looked very small, the economy of space (kitchen-in-a-wardrobe, shower with a toilet etc) was well designed. The bed was really comfy and I was pleased that the tv was a good standard, with wake-up facilities. The small amount of staff I had contact with were lovely. I also enjoyed having full-size French windows leading on to a small balcony which was a really nice touch, especially as in most similar rooms in London hotels you would be unable to open the window! The location was really excellent and while I could have had a nicer room in a Premier Inn for the same price, the location was amazing for what I needed and it was much more boutique and pretty than a Premier Inn! I also love the idea of having an apartment rather than a hotel room to stay in. Thanks!

-Staff, while very friendly and helpful on check-in, did not offer to carry my bag up to my room. While I understand at busy times this could be a difficult service to provide, it was early evening and there was no-one else around at the time. As a solo female traveller this would have been nice as there was no lift that I could find, but my bag was not heavy so it was okay. -I stayed next door, in the second house of the compound (No. 29) - while the interior was very nicely decorated, there was an unpleasant damp smell in the corridors which fortunately did not extend to my room. -The bathroom was not as clean as I would have liked; however it was not bad enough to complain. -The gentleman that checked me in was kind enough to call me a taxi as I was in a hurry to meet someone; however the taxi driver charged me £22 to get from Astons to the south side of Battersea Bridge! I was disgusted by the fare as I could have got a black cab for 1/3 of the price, and while I can't blame Astons at all for this, I think they could review the companies they are in contact with.

Very nice price for a room with kitchnet, we save money because we could make our meals there.

Bathrom small! One day without hot water but the staff gave us another room to take a bath.

The staff, though appearing harassed, were polite and friendly. The appartment was high up at the back of the building, and was therefore quiet. The location is excellent for tube journeys and major site seeing in London City Centre. There are good places to eat very near by.

The facilities were adequate for a one night stay, but did not really reflect the price. Rooms very cramped and furniture and fittings shabby.

Staff was outstanding. Room, however was noisy - could hear front door being slammed and neighbors talking in hallway. Room was cleaned nicely except for 1 day when dirty towels were left on the beds. Location is perfect - close to tube station, local pubs and stores.

Astons are located in a very convenient place. Close to the Gloucester Road shops and restaurants and 3 mins walk from the tube station. Also it ticks the box for a quiet location if you're hoping to get some sleep! My apartment was not luxurious but absolutely adequate for my needs. It was clean and it's all you need if you are spending most of your time out and about London. The staff (I met one member) was professional and helpful. I would say they are value for money in London.

One negative was that the microwave had not been cleaned

Location is great, stay in the old London house interesting. The kitchen in the room is nice idea.

Heating system mshould be modernized. They could put shampoo and soap in the rooms.

That it was easy

uncomfortable beds and not a clean/nice bathroom
