Overview
First Impressions
The Beautiful Camden Town Apartment sits on Malden Road, which honestly feels more residential than touristy — and that’s exactly what makes it work. When I first walked up to the building, I wasn’t expecting much from the exterior, but step inside and you realize this three-star place has been thoughtfully put together. The neighborhood has that lived-in London feel, where you’ll see locals heading to work rather than crowds of tourists with cameras.
Location & Getting Around
Being in Camden means you’re close to all the action without being right in the thick of it. The famous Camden Market is about a 10-minute walk, but what I actually loved more was discovering the smaller cafés and pubs tucked away on the side streets. You’ve got Kentish Town West station nearby, and honestly, getting into central London is pretty straightforward. The area comes alive in the evenings — not rowdy, just… buzzing with that Camden energy you hear about.
The Space Itself
This apartment feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel room. The kitchen is actually functional — I mean, you can cook a proper meal here, not just reheat leftovers. The living area has enough space to spread out, and the bedroom is comfortable without being fancy. What struck me was how everything felt clean and well-maintained, which isn’t always a given at this price point in London.
What Works Well
The 8.9 rating makes sense when you spend a few days here. There’s something refreshing about having your own space after a day of sightseeing — you can grab groceries from the local shops and actually relax. The WiFi works properly (crucial for me), and the shower has decent pressure. Small things, but they matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to wow you with marble bathrooms or concierge services, but it delivers on what most people actually need. You get a real sense of living in London rather than just visiting, and the value is solid for what you’re paying. The location puts you within reach of everything — from Camden’s nightlife to Regent’s Park for morning walks — without the premium you’d pay for staying in Zone 1. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning to come back.
Guest reviews
"Spot on."
The apartment was very clean and tidy. All the essentials were provided and well maintained.
Great location with bus stops directly outside and a tube station 5 mins walk away. There's no on street parking, but there is a loading bay for drop off & pick up, then we used a parking app to find a spot for the car just a short walk away.
No issues with any noise etc from neighbouring properties and the surrounding area was pleasant enough.
We would definitely use this apartment again in the future. 👍
What could be improved: No negatives to report for us.
The only thing I'd point out is the access is via steps which could be a problem to some who struggle with mobility.

"Nice decor, well stocked kitchen."
The basement apartment was very nicely decorated, the kitchen was well stocked with all dishes we needed, the location was great. We did year the laundry mat upstairs during the day but it did not bother us.
What could be improved: The beds could be a little softer but overall the place was very comfortable.

"very well connected to bus and tube. Spend the day in london and come home soon for leisure."
The apartment is very very near to bus stop. bus 24 takes you to Camden town from you can connect to the tube / metro
Bus 46 takes you to padding ton / kings cross which connects you to entire london and outwards.
My parents loved taking the bus directly to london as they did not want to walk all the extra distances within the tube stations.
Grocery shops of all kinds are around the corner. We would Purchase groceries for our breakfast locally.
Very Neat & Clean apartment. The owner has provided all basic requirements of Kitchen and Beddings which was so great. Owner has a very positive approach and was very helpful in our varied small questions we needed some advice on.
Owner is not petty at all and this was evident that he had provided fans, laundry basket, coat stand and any other basics required for comfortable stay.
What could be improved: 9 days...we could have stayed so much more here.

"Amazing price-quality"
Amazing location, perfect directions and support from host, well equipper apartment, amazing location, very calm neighborhood, not far from metro
What could be improved: Would just wish for better pillows and blackout in the rooms. Other than that the price-quality relationship is amazing.

"Good value for the price"
The apartment is nice and pretty spacious. Two clean and renovated showers. Very close to bus stops. Good for young groups of friends or for family with children.
What could be improved: The master bed is not comfortable. It’s minimal size for a double bed and the mattress is *very* hard. The kids bed is much more comfortable. While there’s washing machine there’s no drier (but the apartment is located right below a public laundry so we washed our clothes there. Note that the location is not Camden town but in *Kentish Town* which is a near by (but very different) neighbourhood.
Less critical points are - not enough storage space (to unpack suitcases).

"Very good"
The location was excellent. It is about a 7 minute walk from tube. It is located very close to grocery and corner shops. Although it is below a laundromat and near a pub, it was not noisy. There were two bathrooms which was great. It was very warm and it had everything we needed.

"Very good"
Great little spot, well equipped for a visit. Warm, spacious and comfortable. Nice shower.
What could be improved: The sofa is the most uncomfortable sofa I’ve ever sat on! It needs replacing asap! Also the pillows could do with replacing.

"This place has potential to be great, but needs some work."
The pictures that were sent for checking in were very helpful. The location was fairly close to the places we were heading to.
What could be improved: The place had flies and bugs everywhere. The place is located under a launderette and near a pub. You can hear music to the pub all throughout the night. The mattresses were firm and the bunk bed frame was bent in the middle so it felt like you were sleeping on a slope. The parking description is incorrect as there isn’t public parking nearby for GBP 10. We had a vehicle and always wondered if we would find parking nearby. There is street parking though (free from 6:30p-8:00a).
