Pleasant 1 Bedroom Camden Apartment -on 1st Floor
First Impressions
When I first walked up to Pleasant 1 Bedroom Camden Apartment -on 1st Floor, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you exactly what you’re getting. It’s on Royal College Street, which is one of those quiet residential roads that locals actually know about, and yes, it really is on the first floor (so no endless stair climbing with your luggage). The building has that classic London terraced house vibe, nothing flashy but solid and welcoming.
The Space Itself
This four-star apartment feels like staying in someone’s well-kept home rather than a sterile hotel room. The bedroom is properly sized — I mean, you can actually walk around the bed without doing that awkward sideways shuffle. What I really appreciated was the separate living area; it’s not huge, but there’s enough space to spread out your stuff and actually relax. The kitchen is compact but functional, with everything you need if you want to make coffee in the morning or grab something quick from the nearby Sainsbury’s.
Camden Neighborhood
You know what’s great about this location? You’re close enough to Camden’s action but far enough away that you won’t hear drunk tourists singing at 2 AM. Royal College Street sits between Camden and King’s Cross, so you’ve got options. Camden Market is maybe a 10-minute walk, and honestly, the street food there is worth the trip alone. King’s Cross Station is even closer — super handy for day trips or if you’re catching the Eurostar.
Local Perks
The area has this nice mix of locals and visitors, which I always think is a good sign. There’s a decent pub called The Regent just around the corner, and if you walk toward Camden High Street, you’ll find everything from vintage shops to that amazing Ethiopian restaurant (Zeret Kitchen — trust me on this one). Regent’s Park is also walkable if you fancy a morning jog or just want to escape the city buzz for a bit.
Why Guests Love It
What really works here is the independence factor. You get your own space, your own front door key, and the freedom to come and go without dealing with hotel reception. The 8.1 rating makes sense — it’s not trying to be something fancy, just a comfortable base in a solid location. The transport links are genuinely excellent; you can reach central London easily, but you’re staying somewhere that feels more authentic than those cookie-cutter hotels near Leicester Square. Plus, having a proper kitchen means you can save money on meals if you want to, though with Camden’s food scene right there, you might not want to.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
