Overview
First Impressions
Farringdon Serviced Apartments by LovelyStay sits on Greville Street, and honestly, the location caught me off guard in the best way possible. You’re right in the heart of London’s legal district, which means it’s quieter than you’d expect for being so central. The building itself has that classic London character — red brick and Georgian touches that make you feel like you’re staying somewhere with actual history.
Location & Neighborhood
What I love about Farringdon is how it bridges everything without feeling touristy. Hatton Garden (famous for diamonds) is literally around the corner, and you can walk to Covent Garden in about 10 minutes. The Farringdon Station is close enough that getting anywhere in London is actually straightforward — you’ve got the Elizabeth Line, Metropolitan, and Circle lines all within reach. Plus, there’s this great little cafe called Lantana just down the street that does proper Australian-style coffee.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment comes with a proper kitchen setup, which means you can actually live here rather than just crash. The four-star rating feels accurate; everything’s well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, but it’s not trying too hard to be fancy. I appreciated the washing machine in my unit (you know how laundry becomes a thing on longer trips), and the Wi-Fi was solid throughout.
What Makes It Work
The service hits that sweet spot where they’re helpful without being intrusive. Check-in was smooth, and when I had a question about the heating, someone sorted it out within an hour. The apartments are cleaned regularly, but you’ve got your own space and routine — it’s like having a London base rather than feeling like a guest. There’s also parking available, which anyone who’s tried to drive in central London will tell you is practically gold.
Why Guests Love It
Look, the 9.4 rating makes sense once you’re here. It’s that combination of being central but not chaotic, having proper amenities without the hotel markup on everything, and feeling like you’ve got your own little London life going. Whether you’re here for business around the legal district or just want easy access to everywhere else, this place gets the balance right. I mean, where else can you make your morning coffee while looking out at Georgian architecture and still be at the British Museum in 15 minutes?
Guest reviews
"An excellent place to stay"
Great location for tourists aiming for the City of London, quite comfortable and clean apartments with good facilities. Service was great, the staff was responsive to my questions and helpful. We really liked the welcome pack: both tea and coffee were delicious, and bathroom accessories were also very nice.
What could be improved: The most serious drawback was that the milk from the welcome pack was severely expired. Lightning scheme was confusing, but it's not a big deal.
It would also be nice to add some small convenience items like outwear hooks, a shoe spoon and a cup for teeth brushes.

"Superb"
We stayed here in April this year, so didn't hesitate about booking again. It has everything we needed, great facilities and is a perfect location to visit all areas.
What could be improved: Nothing really. Only downside this time was the neighbour had the washer /dryer going until the middle of the night when we were trying to sleep. Perhaps asking people to be sensitive of neighbours when using this facility.
