Modern Entire Unit 3BR, 3BA, balcony, 86inch TV – 15mins to city
First Impressions
Modern Entire Unit 3BR, 3BA, balcony, 86inch TV – 15mins to city might have the longest name I’ve ever encountered for accommodation, but honestly, it tells you exactly what you’re getting. This four-star property in Romford feels more like staying at a friend’s incredibly well-appointed apartment than a traditional hotel — and I mean that in the best possible way. The moment you walk in, that massive 86-inch TV dominates the living area, making you wonder if you’ve accidentally stumbled into someone’s home cinema setup.
The Space That Surprises
What struck me most was how thoughtfully designed everything feels for a group stay. Each of the three bedrooms has its own character, and having three full bathrooms means nobody’s fighting over mirror time in the morning. The kitchen is actually functional — not just a token kitchenette with a mini-fridge — so you can properly cook if you’re staying a few days. The balcony isn’t huge, but it’s perfect for morning coffee when you want a breath of fresh air before heading into London.
Location Reality Check
Let’s talk about that “15 minutes to city” claim. Well, it’s more like 15 minutes to get to a station, then another 20-25 minutes into central London depending on where you’re headed. But here’s the thing — Romford actually works in your favor if you’re exploring both London proper and want easier access to places like Canterbury or the Essex countryside. The area around Lita Mews is quiet residential, which means you’ll sleep well, but you’ll want to grab groceries before settling in since the nearest shops require a bit of walking.
Why the Setup Works
The 86-inch TV isn’t just a gimmick — it genuinely transforms your evenings. After long days of London sightseeing, coming back to this setup feels like a proper retreat. The room layouts make sense for different travel dynamics too; couples can spread out, families have space to breathe, and friend groups won’t feel cramped. I appreciated the attention to storage space — something most London accommodations completely ignore. Parking is available, which is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning day trips outside the city.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.3 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s not trying to be a fancy hotel with a spa or formal restaurant, but it nails what it promises: a comfortable, modern base that actually feels like home. The value proposition is solid — you get significantly more space than comparable London accommodations, plus the flexibility to cook your own meals and truly relax. Just manage your expectations about the commute, and you’ll find this place offers the best of both worlds: London access with suburban peace.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
