Overview

Right in the Action

You know what hits you first about Elegant 3-Bedroom Apartment in the Heart of Piccadilly Circus No Lift- 4GL? The location is absolutely mad — and I mean that in the best way possible. You’re literally on Glasshouse Street, which puts you about thirty seconds from the neon chaos of Piccadilly Circus itself. The apartment sits on the top floor (fair warning: no lift, so pack light), but honestly, the climb is worth it when you realize you’re staying in one of London‘s most electric neighborhoods.

The Space Itself

This four-star place is properly spacious — three bedrooms mean you’re not fighting over bathroom time if you’re traveling with mates or family. The kitchen is actually functional too, which is refreshing after staying in so many London places where you can barely boil water. I mean, you probably won’t cook much with Chinatown literally around the corner, but it’s nice knowing you can grab breakfast supplies from the Tesco Metro down the street.

What You’re Really Here For

Look, let’s be honest — you’re not choosing this spot for Instagram-worthy interiors. You’re here because when you step outside, you’re in the middle of everything that makes London brilliant. Leicester Square is a two-minute walk, Covent Garden is barely five minutes, and the West End theaters are right there. I’ve stayed in plenty of London places, and this location actually spoils you for anywhere else in the city.

The Neighborhood Reality

Here’s what they don’t always tell you about staying this central — it gets noisy, especially on weekends. But there’s something quite special about falling asleep to the distant hum of one of the world’s great cities. The area can feel a bit touristy during the day (because, well, it is), but early mornings and late evenings reveal a different side of central London that most visitors never see.

Why Guests Love It

The thing about this place is that it delivers exactly what it promises — you’re trading hotel amenities for location and space. No concierge, no fancy lobby, but you’ve got three proper bedrooms in Zone 1 London, which is actually quite rare. Plus, that top-floor position means you get decent natural light, and the stairs keep the foot traffic minimal. If you want to experience London like a local who happens to live in the absolute center of everything, this works perfectly.

Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.

"Heart of London"
Lovely flat, brilliant location. Has everything you need for a short stay.
What could be improved: There are a lot of narrow stairs to get to it this is a challenge if you have bags, none of the little battery lights work - they could just get some cheap ones off Temu which would be better. It is in a noisy and vibrant area so there is construction going on and pubs spilling out. We didn't mind this it wasn't a problem but be aware.

"Brilliant weekend away and fabulous touch point for us."
The location was fabulous, it was in a vibrant area of town. So easy to get out and about, close to the tube, comfy location with plenty or space, comfort and ease. We loved our stay and suited all our coming and going whilst we stayed there. Great value for money and brilliant touch base to explore from.
What could be improved: The only thing missing was a few helpful items in the kitchen like tinfoil, scissors and cling film. Other then that we really could not fault the stay and offer.

"Not elegant, run down 4th floor walk up, best for 20-somethings, Central Location in Soho/West End"
The location was in Piccadilly Circus, next door to a Whole Foods, surrounded by pubs, and very close to the Underground station (1 min walk). (It's on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly Lines, so we did have to transfer most times we took the Underground.) Busses are also nearby on Piccadilly St. Very close to Royal Academy of Art, Greene Park, Fortnum & Mason. 5 min to Leicester Square and another 5 to Covent Garden. Almost all West End shows were within 10 min walking distance. You're also pretty much in the middle of Soho and Chinatown. Walkable to St. James Park, Buckingham Palace. Walkable to National Gallery. In terms of amenities, the host has included a washer/dryer combo in the kitchen, and stand alone AC units in each room, which we found critical for our 1-week stay in August.
What could be improved: Flat was not 'elegant", it was a slightly run down 4th floor walk up. Stairs were narrow, twisty & creaky, very hard to bring up luggage. 1 bathroom was en suite, 1 bathroom had to be shared by the rest of the guests. There was crusty dirt in the bathroom corners, showers were not thoroughly cleaned. One shower temperature knob was broken. The refrigerator was a dorm size fridge that didn't seal completely, milk went bad. There was toilet paper & paper towels, but we could have used a few laundry pods or dishwasher pods as a courtesy. At first, we only had hand towels, but when notified the host had bath towels delivered. AC units made it liveable, but the flat was hot while we were there. 1 AC unit exhaust pipe had to be put through an open window. Washer/dryer cycles were very long, each like 3 hours, never quite seemed to get the clothes dry. Rooms, bathroom, kitchen were very small, as you would expect in the middle of London. There were 4 of us, and we felt cramped. First couple of nights I thought about leaving and taking the $7K loss, but we were not spending much time in the apartment, so we stayed. I would only recommend this for young couples or college friends traveling together and needing the 3 BR's, and wanting to be close to pubs & shows.
