Suffolk Lane

We have just moved to London for 2 years and staying at the Suffolk Lane apartments was perfect for our first 6 weeks in this beautiful country. Not only was the apartment super close to our work but it was central to everything else. If we didn't want to catch the tube, which was a 5 minute walk (not even) we were able to go on a really nice walk. The apartment is a perfect size for a couple and the kitchen is also great as there were plenty of nights we just wanted to cook our own meal. Perfect location and the staff were also great. Don't expect any shops to be open on Sunday's in the City of London, it's a ghost town. However, this suited us fine as we love relaxing on Sunday's.

The apartment very hard to find but once

Because I arrived just after 6pm had to check in at hotel in east London. Could have made that part more of an experience. The porter was helpful but they’re missing a trick to get people back. Just the offer of a tea/coffee while i waited would have made so much difference. Also check out at 10am on departure day is severe. Chambermaid knocked door at 10.15 and was a bit ‘ business like ‘ also - tea and sugar but no coffee or milk in room !

Great location if you're working in the city - although needing to check in before 6pm (or else having to travel two tube stops away to pick up your keys from a different location!) seems a little unrealistic if your target demographic is city workers! The property itself if a little tired and rough around the edges, but is quiet and serves it's purpose. My room wasn't cleaned once during my 4 day/3 night stay, like it would have been at a hotel - this place isn't cheap enough to justify the difference in service.

Location was fabulous and it was quiet for being central London, amenities were all very good, my only gripe would be the heating/cooling unit, which seemed to constantly turn itself off when I was trying to cool the room from 27 to 20 to make it comfortable for me, the unit would stay switched on for a few minutes then switch off, but this was before it cooled the room, which meant that it was a sticky nights sleep. But I would still stay again.

Good location for the trip and good amenities

This was a one night stay to attend a London function. Everything in our lower ground floor accommodation was spotless and there was a comprehensive range of gadgets and utensils as well as washing ancilliaries. The only small problem we encountered was the extraneous noise during the night of the air conditioning and from the exterior. Our blind needed to be constantly drawn for privacy, so we only had artificial light.

No housekeeping the whole week I was there.

Very noisy plumbing !!

The hotel cancelled my reservation (by email) on the day of arrival but, after a delay, offered a reasonable replacement. I left "average" rating, because the last-minute cancellation and the following uncertainty was very disruptive to my travel.
