Caledonian Studio Flats

We had health and safety concerns about our apartment due to bedroom being located at top of steep staircase without handrail. There was no light switch in bedroom to allow light for descending steep narrow steps. Bed was unusually high from the floor Apartment 8 not suitable for the elderly or less mobile

good. air conditioning bonus

Really helpful staff and a great location, a bright and sunny room near to public transport and a great price too: what's not to like?

Be good life is to srote

Very basic accommodations, close to underground and overground stations so getting around was easy. Host was easy to communicate with.

Was very basic but good value for money for London, if you want to be close to Islington and Angel

Nice location with lots of coffee shops and food nearby. Very communicative staff. Room and bed were clean. Booking said the room had AC, and it did have one of the small, portable units that exhaust out the window, but it did not have a proper bracket for the window, nor did the AC ever seem to really work. This wouldn't have been such an issue if our stay wasn't during one of the hottest days in London this summer. Because of this, we ended up avoiding going back to the room until it had cooled off considerably outside. We did bring this to the attention of the staff, and they replaced the AC, but it really didn't make much difference. They did, however, give us an oscillating fan that we were able to set next to the bed, which made sleeping tolerable. The bathroom was a little tight, and the shower curtain was a bit mildewy and smelly. Overall, it was an adequate place to stay and would likely be very comfortable during a cooler time of year.

Read the fine print: they expect you to arrive in a 3-hour window, and charge you 30 pounds extra if you don't. In thirty years of traveling, I've never seen anything like that. The room is a deeply overpriced hovel, even for London. We stayed another night, earlier, in Bloomsbury for half of the price, and in a larger room. The staff are unfriendly and unintelligible. I encourage you to keep looking.

Ok, I’m not quite sure how these apartments got such good reviews. I wasn’t happy with the room when I arrived, but things got worse. I accept that these are cheap(ish) places to stay and that London is expensive, but really - these are poor rooms. The room was downstairs and very small. The photos are misleading as there was no table and chairs, just a back door and a barred window (nice!) There was a hob that worked, but as there was no saucepan or frying pan I’m not sure what use this actually was. They had put an AC unit in the room, but it was very old and the size of a fridge, which limited the space in an already confined area. Ok, so it’s cheap, but in the morning it got worse. Turns out the toilet and the bath waste pipes are linked. The toilet was apparently a little blocked and, well, the waste came up through the bath plughole. You can imagine. I complained and, to be fair to the owners, they refunded both nights payment with good grace, but really, this is not somewhere you want to stay unless you are a backpacker or a student. It’s grim. And unless you check in within a specified time (2-5?) you have to pay an extra £30 fee. Well, at least they refunded that too.

It’s what it says it is. Simple and clean and very cost effective. Friendly staff

Great accommodation! Clean and compact!

It was a nice clean room but there was no fridge and no cooking appliances. There was only a kettle. Looking at the pictures on the site and going by the name ‘studio flats’ we expected at least a fridge no a microwave and toaster. We had to hang butter out the window and put milk in the sink with cold water. Great bus links co-op close by for food. Just be careful that the pictures are clearly not accurate for all the rooms.

Flat is everything it says in the advert. Clean, tidy and good value for money. Ideal location for local transport network.

Ok

All positive. No complaints here!

Very private its like home you can call for informó very safe i give it 2 thumbs up

The place was comfortable and the hosts were gracious. My only objection was that the person in the room above mine was walking around and moving a chair at 3 am and the noise kept me awake.

Brilliant for those who want a warm space to sleep, especially for those going to Islington Assembly Hall for Gigs! Walking distance from Kings Cross, St Pancras, Shopping, Camden, both Under and Over ground. Affordable, private, clean, even a little hob/oven and fridge freezer. Will definitely be my go to in the future! Also so lovely to be contacted to be asked what time I’ll be checking in. My only thing would be for those who need accessibility, let them know before hand for a room that’s appropriate. The bed in my room was up a steep stair case in the flat (2nd floor), it was beautiful, cozy and I was over the moon, but for those who struggle with mobility who are not in a wheel chair it wouldn't be suitable, so just make sure to let them know before hand your needs if any. Loved it, it was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much! See you again soon ^^

Very welcoming, easy access, private room and bathroom. Lovely and warm with heated flooring, great communication upon arrival and leaving
