Hanway Street First Floor Flat Sleeps 4
First Impressions
The Hanway Street First Floor Flat Sleeps 4 sits right in the heart of Fitzrovia, and honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better spot in London. I mean, Hanway Street itself is this narrow little road that most tourists walk past without noticing — but that’s exactly what makes it perfect. You’re literally a two-minute walk from Oxford Street’s chaos, yet when you step inside this four-star flat, it feels like you’ve found your own quiet corner of the city.
The Space Itself
This isn’t your typical hotel room — it’s an actual apartment that feels lived-in rather than sterile. The first floor location means you get decent natural light without the street noise that ground floor places deal with. What I really appreciated was the functional kitchen setup; you can actually cook a proper meal here, which is rare for central London accommodations. The space genuinely sleeps four people comfortably, and I’ve seen plenty of places that claim this but leave someone on a dodgy sofa bed.
Location Perks
Here’s what the booking sites won’t tell you — Hanway Street connects Charlotte Street to Tottenham Court Road, which means you’re surrounded by some of London’s best independent cafes and pubs. There’s this brilliant little restaurant called Pied à Terre just around the corner that locals actually go to. Plus, Goodge Street station is practically on your doorstep, so you can be anywhere in London within 20 minutes.
The Neighborhood Feel
Fitzrovia has this interesting mix of media types, academics, and longtime residents that gives it character beyond the tourist trail. You know what I love about staying here? You can grab groceries at the Sainsbury’s on Goodge Street, pick up coffee beans from Workshop Coffee on Mortimer Street, and still be close enough to pop into the British Museum on a whim. The area actually quiets down in the evenings, which is perfect when you want to decompress after a day of sightseeing.
Why Guests Love It
The flat has that perfect rating for good reason — it delivers on the basics without trying to be something it’s not. You get reliable WiFi, a proper shower, and enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The fact that you can make your own breakfast and have a cup of tea whenever you want shouldn’t be underestimated when you’re dealing with London prices. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel settled after a couple of days, rather than just passing through.
