Sleepy Joes

Disappointing, but in a good location. Belongs on air bnb not booking.com

Great location.

− Property was very dark and poorly ventilated. Photos are of the top floor apartment and so they are misleading. Blinds would not stay up so getting light in was difficult. Air con had not been used in some time and so dust went everywhere. Fan in bedroom was very noisy. No kettle or toaster despite tea being advertised as having tea/coffee facilities. One bath towel provided and it was well used with bleach stains on it and the hand towel. Room was dusty along the windows. I specifically booked a larger place so that if a friend decided to come up from Brighton to visit for a night, there was space. Appreciate that the property manager would want to know, but charging a fee to wash laundry for one extra person using the sofa bed (advertised in the listing as a two bed place) is steep, particularly considering the towels were old and well used, and the place has a washing machine so there would have been minimal extra cost/labour.

Wonderful flat in the heart of London

Very spacious for our travel needs when a typical hotel room wouldn’t work out for us with the amount of luggage we had from traveling to 3 different countries. Interior is very modern. Would definitely stay here again & highly recommend.

− It was perfect

Qualità estetica e funzionale ed igienica povera, ma gli spazi e la posizione sono giusti

L’ampiezza delle camere e la vicinanza alla stazione della metro

− Tutti gli arredamenti erano rovinati, probabilmente la non buona qualità dei materiali non regge all’uso degli ospiti; c’è un‘ illuminazione veramente povera e in bagno si sta praticamente al buio; la sensazione era di stare dentro un acquario.. per poter far circolare dell’ aria abbiamo tenuto le finestre sempre un aperte, con il risultato però di dormire malissimo, considerati i rumori della zona; il pavimento in linoleum era molto rovinato, e dava una sensazione di sporco continuamente; il coperchio della tazza era rotto

Lovely property - comfy beds

Spacious, 2 large bedrooms with a large open plan kitchen and living room. Very good communication from property, even managed to accommodate an early check in for us. Easy check-in. Lovely property - would stay again.

− The only downfall for us was that we found the property to be quite dark - at least 3 light switches didn't work properly. Also couldn't turn on the extractor fan in the bathroom when showering.

Unfortunately, our experience with this apartment was very disappointing. The place was really dirty, and combined with several other negative impressions, it is difficult for me to write anything positive about our stay. The only positives I can point out are that the shower was fine, the balcony doors are of very good quality, and the triple-glazed windows block out all outside noise. The location itself is also not too bad.

− When we arrived in the evening by taxi, the first impression was already very bad. Right in front of the entrance to the building, there were many broken glass bottles on the ground. It seems that there is a bar nearby, and people gather around the entrance of the building at night, which gives a very unpleasant feeling. The hallway leading to the apartment was dark, poorly lit, and very dirty. On the floor there was a lot of hair and dust, which immediately created the impression of poor maintenance. Unfortunately, the apartment itself was not much better. It was very dark and poorly lit, and we even found a hole in the main door where the lock should be – meaning someone could literally look into the apartment. Cleanliness was a serious issue. The floor was dirty, with hair and bread crumbs under the table. We even saw the cleaning lady of the building, who didn’t use a vacuum cleaner, but only a cloth to push the dirt around. The bedding was not white, but gray and green, which shows it is not washed at high temperatures. The same goes for the towels in the bathroom, which did not feel hygienic at all. The worst part, however, was the air conditioning unit. It was broken and made a terrifyingly loud noise every few minutes – like someone hammering concrete above your head. On the first night, the noise came 3–4 times per night, but on the second and third nights it happened every few minutes, making it absolutely impossible to sleep. This was especially difficult for us since we were traveling with two children (ages 4 and 6) who were exhausted after walking more than 25 km per day to see the main sights of London. We were all extremely tired, but the terrible noise made resting impossible. On top of that, the air conditioning unit was very dirty, clearly never serviced, full of mold, and potentially dangerous for health. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience and made our stay at Sleepy Joes apartments truly miserable.
