Very spacefull executive 2-bed-rooms with kitchen, bath, lot of cupboards in the bedrooms for long stay. Nothing was missed. Service at the reservation desk very helpful and competent. Near Liverpool Street Station - easy to find and to get to Stansted Airport. 5 days are not too much for this great city and this location!

Absolutely unacceptable disco noise throughout the night. TV not working properly, plumbing issues and no maintenance service on weekends. Never again.

We enjoyed our stay in the apartment. However, it seems it was only the penthouse apartment that was shown on venere.com, which was disappointing when we got there, as it was nice but not as we saw on the internet. There was also a blonde girl working on the reception the first day we arrived, who a few of us didn't find too welcoming or interested in her job.

Perfect for a family. Easy access to public transportation (Liverpool station is accross the street). Many pubs nearby for dining. Grocery store half a block away. Would apprectiate a coffee maker in the future.

I would recomend this hotel to anyone especially familes, its an excellent base close to the underground & very spacious if you go for the 2 bedroom option. My only negatives are the floor in the living area was very dusty & the room smelled of smoke but this was sorted by the maid.The living area at the front of the property was a little noisy at nights but the bedrooms at the back were quiet.

This is a fantastic place to stay especially for a small group with very spacious rooms, dvd, cd player, separate kitchen and living area and literally across the road and a couple of doors down from the tube station. I can't compliment this venue enough as it should suit everybody.

Ottimo apparthotel, vicinissimo a Liverpool street station, quindi per chi arriva da stanstead è molto comodo per non scarrozzarsi valige per la città. Belle le camere, molto carine e pulite. Il prezzo per noi zona Euro non è eccezionale, ma a Londra trovare a prezzi più bassi non è facile, soprattutto considerando la bellezza delle camere. Un pò rumoroso di sera, ci dev'essere un locale un pò rumoroso nelle vicinanze. In generale comunque tornerei.

Right across the street from the train station. Busy street but rooms were quiet and clean and big. Pricey but luxurious. A pleasant experience.

my only complaint is that there was a strong smell, possibly cigarette smoke, in the dining/ sitting area and we were unable to open the windows to ventilate.
