Reviews of BIG BEN'S SHADE

Excellent location and easy to find. Good instructions an prompt response from owner.

Some mould on the ceiling in the bathroom. - not too bad but noticeable.

The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and clean. It was in a good location and close to many attractions. There are various grocery shops, street food venues, cafes, and restaurants nearby. I really enjoyed it here.

Nothing to dislike

This was in a good location for us and nice to stay in a flat rather than a hotel. The directions to the flat given by the host made it easy to find. (relying on google maps only got us close)

The shower fixing to the wall was broken, the shower itself worked well. However, we reported this and were told that it would be fixed. Having breakfast, tea, coffee & milk etc was great.

Owner was always available & very helpful. He made special arrangements for us to collect passports that were left behind after hours.

Breakfast and milk was already stocked up for us on arrival

The property owner has declined to provide an invoice, despite it being clearly stated that this is their responsibility and not that of Booking.com. This refusal has made it impossible for me to obtain reimbursement from my company. If you're traveling for work, I strongly advise against staying here. They do not issue invoices.

The apartment is centrally located and spacious, offering convenient access to nearby amenities. However, it is quite noisy, which may affect your comfort during your stay. The noise levels are particularly noticeable at night, as the upstairs neighbor's television is clearly audible until they go to bed. Additionally, the street below features a pub and a parking area, contributing to the nighttime noise. Another concern is the presence of mold in the bathroom. Mold thrives in damp environments and can pose health risks, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions. I advised the owener to address this issue promptly to ensure a healthier living environment.

The Location was the highlight of the apartment.

The breakfast information in the booking is misleading, I understood the breakfast was included, it is not clear that some bread/ham/ cheese/milk would be left in the apartment. One of the main reasons I have booked this apartment was because it had breakfast. Also, contact was very difficult, all the time I tried to call the number in the booking was in the voice mail. Only response was on the messages in booking, but after couple hours. But the worse for me was the cleanness, I had to hoover the apartment as it was with a lot of dust, specially under and behind the beds, where I also had to clean. I even had to empty the hoover bin as it was completely full.

My family and I had a fantastic few days, all the tourist sites were within a 15-minute walk, the apartment was very nice, clean, everything was organized, the staff was excellent and helped me a lot. I will return to the same place again.

I like everything

Amazing location, 4 minutes to tube but could walk anywhere really

Nothing

Great breakfast, great location and very friendly and helpful staff.

The room temperature was a little bit too low. That could be improved. Everything else was just perfect.

Location and accesibility

None

Great flat in central London within walking distance from/to Victoria station and other tube stations. The rooms were spacious. The fridge was stocked up with fruits, bread, ham, turkey breast slices, milk and juices for our breakfast. Tesco is just 2 mins around the corner if we needed anything else.

The kitchen and bathroom were a bit small for our family of 5. There’s no living room. But the location was great and the rooms are very comfortable. Good value for money.

Amazing central location, very welcoming host and clean. Loved the food in the fridge, there being usb chargers and free Wi-Fi

The toilet cistern took ages to refill and one of the rooms I’d prefer small but it was great for us

Location, spacious apartment, super host. To all the questions “is there … in property?” All the answrers were “yes”. Best beer I have ever had is in the pub nearby ;)

Unfortunately, cannot mantion any.
