Overview
First Impressions
The London Marble Arch Apartment sits on a quiet side street just off Seymour Street, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you weren’t looking. It’s tucked into one of those classic London mansion blocks that somehow feels both grand and understated — which is exactly what you want when you’re staying in Westminster Borough. The building has that solid, reassuring feel that makes you think it’s been here forever, watching London change around it.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally a three-minute walk from Marble Arch tube station, which means the entire city opens up ridiculously fast. Hyde Park is right there across the street, perfect for morning runs or just escaping the city buzz for a bit. The positioning is brilliant actually, because while you’re central enough to walk to Oxford Street (though honestly, who wants to?), you’re on the quieter side where locals actually live and work.
The Apartment Experience
This four-star setup feels more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed London flat than staying in a typical hotel. Each apartment comes with a proper kitchen — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation, but actual cooking space with everything you need. The room layouts vary, but mine had these lovely tall windows that let in surprising amounts of light for central London, and the furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern comfort and classic British style.
What Makes It Work
The staff here gets it — they’re helpful without being hovering, which matters when you’re in apartment-style accommodations where you want some independence. There’s no restaurant on-site, but that’s actually perfect because it forces you to explore the neighborhood properly. I discovered this fantastic little café around the corner that I never would have found otherwise. The building itself is well-maintained and quiet — important when you’re dealing with London’s thin walls and busy streets.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Look, an 8.7 rating doesn’t happen by accident, especially in London where travelers can be pretty demanding. People return here because it solves the classic London accommodation problem — you get space, location, and value without having to choose just one. The parking situation is what you’d expect for central London (meaning challenging), but the tube connections are so good that you really don’t need a car anyway. It’s the kind of place where you can actually settle in for a few days and feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it.

"Exceptional"
Everything was great. One of the best apartments we’ve stayed in! The location is absolutely perfect — right in the heart of London with everything easily accessible. The apartment itself is spacious, well-designed, and extremely clean. It had everything our family needed for a comfortable stay.
What really stood out was how convenient and well-maintained the place was — from the layout to the thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. The wheelchair lift on the stairs was an unexpected blessing for one of our family members and made our trip much easier.
Truly one of the best stays we’ve had in recent times. Highly recommend this apartment and would love to come back again soon!
What could be improved: All Good.

"A Perfect Stay in the Heart of London!"
Our stay at Marble Arch Apartments was absolutely fantastic. The location is amazing and simply can't be beaten, putting us right in the center of everything and making it incredibly easy to explore the city. The apartment itself was easily the best in the neighbourhood; it was impeccably clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and convenient stay.
A special thank you to Feras and Yaquob, who were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Their excellent service truly made our trip special. We will definitely be staying there the next time we are in London and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

"Great location and an almost great place ( simple fixes can elevate it to great )"
The location was great in a quiet street near Oxford street and the Hyde park. The apartment was spacious and relatively clean ( an odd stain here and there and a forgotten makeup brush on a chair) and each room had an en suite and all bathrooms had a “shattaf” which was extremely convenient. The beds were comfortable and all rooms had spacious wardrobes.
What could be improved: The first bedroom did not have ac and no space for a mobile unit. The towels were totally mismatched, old and some stained and rough. Adding quality bath towels would totally elevate the place. The staff brought extra towels when requested but they were of similar quality.

"Clean and lovely on surface, but could use some attention."
Large, each bedroom had separate en suite baths, nicely decorated, photos looked great…but perhaps set our expectations too high. Sheets were very soft. Man who let us in and gave us a brief tour was very nice and attentive. Prompt with texts. Allowed us to check in about two hours after we booked, which was a lifesaver. Gorgeous rugs in dining/living room!
What could be improved: Felt like no one had been there in a long time, stuffy at first and smelled like a retirement home. No paper towels or kitchen/tea towels/napkins. Bath towels were stiff and not very thick. Mattresses were pretty flat/hard. One shower didn’t drain well, we couldn’t figure out how to turn on two other bathroom light. Motion detector lights in other 3 bathrooms and all closets/cabinets were odd with switches rather high up. Back door lock did not inspire confidence. At least one bedroom window facing the street didn’t lock. Seems to have been rather recently updated/refreshed, but a lot of the appeal was cosmetic only. Sofas not comfortable. Semi-concerning large red stain on carpet of one bedroom.

"En super flott leilighet nær alle fasiliteter!"
Verten var utmerket. Han kom til avtalt tid og besvarte spørsmål ved behov. Leiligheten var veldig bra, stor, romslig og flott. Fin beliggenhet og rolig gate. Godt med kjøkkenutstyr, men manglet vinåpner :)
Vi var en venninnegjeng og var ikke mye i leiligheten, kun til frokost og kveldsmåltid eller til sengs, og til det var den super og mye bedre enn hotellrom :)
What could be improved: Leiligheten begynner å bli litt sliten. Ikke skjemmende, men til den prisen kan den godt bli oppdatert litt.
Sette igang kaffemaskin
Ordne lister rundt fryser (den uler)
Feste løsnende tapet.

"Maravilloso y elegante apartamento para grupos grandes o familias en pleno centro de Londres"
Un apartamento precioso y elegante en pleno centro de Londres, ideal para 7 personas. Primera planta de un edificio señorial, bien decorado, acogedor, cocina amplia, salón comedor enorme ideal para compartir, 4 habitaciones exteriores con 4 baños completos y 1 aseo en la entrada. Muy luminoso, bien aislado, calefacción y aire acondicionado en toda la casa, suelo radiante. Muy bien comunicado y rodeado de restaurantes. Exactamente como en las fotos.
What could be improved: A veces se escucha un poco la calle o el taller de la parte de atrás, nada importante.
