Overview

First Impressions

The Amazing One bedroom Penthouse in Wimbledon caught my attention immediately — and honestly, the name isn’t overselling it. This three-star property sits on Cranbrook Road in a modern building called Orion House, and when I walked into that seventh-floor flat, the ceiling height and natural light actually made me stop mid-conversation. You know what struck me most? The whole place feels like someone’s stylish London flat rather than a typical hotel room.

Location and Getting Around

Being in London‘s SW19 postcode puts you right in the heart of Wimbledon, which I’ll admit is pretty brilliant if you want that village-y feel without losing city access. The area around Cranbrook Road is residential but lively — there’s this great little coffee shop about two minutes’ walk away that locals actually use. You’re close enough to Wimbledon station that getting into central London doesn’t feel like a trek, but far enough from the tennis crowds (unless it’s tournament season, obviously) to have some peace.

The Space Itself

This penthouse setup really works well for travelers who want more than just a bed. The apartment has proper living space where you can actually spread out your stuff, and the kitchen means you don’t have to eat out every single meal — which, let’s be honest, gets expensive fast in London. The bedroom feels separate from the living area, so if you’re traveling with someone, you’re not constantly on top of each other. The windows are generous, and from the seventh floor you get decent views over the Wimbledon rooftops.

What Actually Matters

The WiFi works properly (I tested it extensively), the shower has good pressure, and there’s enough parking nearby that you won’t spend twenty minutes circling blocks if you’ve got a car. I mean, the building itself feels secure and well-maintained — you need a key card to get up to the floors, which gives you that reassurance when you’re hauling your luggage around London. The whole place stays surprisingly quiet considering you’re in a busy area, probably because of those thick windows.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

Look, a 7.6 rating tells you this place does the basics really well without trying to be something it’s not. You get the space and freedom of having your own London flat, the practicality of that kitchenette for morning coffee or late-night snacks, and you’re positioned in one of London’s more charming neighborhoods. It’s particularly good if you’re staying more than just a couple nights — having that living room space where you can actually relax makes a difference when you’re not just sleeping somewhere between tourist activities.

"Lovely Penthouse but some aspects need improvement"
Beautiful penthouse with views front and back. Great location only 10 minutes walk from the station and shops. We had a great time thank you.
What could be improved: No welcome pack, as mentioned by a previous customer. We’d travelled 8 hours by bus/train from west Wales and couldn’t even make a tea/coffee on arrival. There was no milk, tea or coffee provided which was really disappointing. It’s a luxury apartment at a premium price point. A few pounds spent on a welcome pack would make all the difference to your reviews. A bottle of wine, milk, tea, coffee, a few biscuits should be the minimum. I suspect it’s newly on the market, the owners should try staying one night and cook a meal. You’d then be able to snag the apartment. e.g there are no serving dishes, salt, pepper, rinse aid, dishwasher salt. Plus the dishwasher isn’t securely fitted and lurches forward if plates inside. There really should be wifi provided, strangley the TV is a smart TV, so how is that obtaining wifi? I hope this helps! Also, note it’s close to trainline so we couldn’t leave the windows open to cool down/fresh air at bedtime as the noise kept us awake.

"Bright, spacious apartment."
Great location and the apartment is very spacious, bright and well equipped. There were ample toiletries provided.
What could be improved: A lot of properties we stay at have a few basics provided e,g, some tea/ coffee to get you started; salt/ pepper etc. There was nothing here at all. Also, some information about the local area would be useful as would instructions of how to leave e.g.recycling etc. Had to request a second bath towel as only one was provided - this was delivered the next day.

"Bitter sweet"
Location around 10 mins walk fm Wimbledon station.
What could be improved: When we arrived, lift was broken, so me and my daughter has to carry 5 big luggages up to 3 levels. Bathroom drain was clog but host fix it next day. Lift was not working for 3 days so we have to use stairs. I rented this apartment for more than 2 weeks as my girl is starting uni, things were ok until the last 3 days water heater not working and we have to take cold showers, told host about it and he sent the neighbour to take a look and he told us it should be fine after half hour. But we went out after and when return at night, the water still cold. Texted host but don’t bother to reply. And on the day we checked out, lift not working again!!! We have to carry all the luggages from 3 floors down. Totally not worth the money. I wouldn’t recommend.
