Overview

First Impressions

Prime 1 Bed Apartment Central London Stay sits right in the heart of London on Central Street, and honestly, the location hit me before anything else. This unique boutique hotel without official star rating feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed flat than a traditional hotel — which is exactly what makes it work so well. The building itself has that classic London character, and when you walk up to Flat 15, you know you’re getting something different from your typical chain experience.

The Space Itself

The apartment genuinely feels like home, with a proper living area that doesn’t feel cramped or hotel-generic. You’ve got a full kitchen that’s actually functional — I mean, you could cook a proper meal here if you wanted to, not just heat up leftovers. The room setup flows naturally, with enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase. What struck me most was how they’ve managed to balance that boutique feel with genuine comfort.

Location & Getting Around

Central Street puts you right where you want to be without the chaos of Oxford Street. You’re walking distance to Barbican and the City, but also close enough to hop over to Camden or King’s Cross without much fuss. The area has this nice mix of local spots and the kind of places tourists actually want to visit — you know what I mean, where you can grab proper coffee in the morning and decent dinner at night. Public transport connections are solid, though honestly, I found myself walking most places because everything felt so accessible.

What Makes It Special

The beauty of this place is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. There’s no pretentious lobby or overly formal service — it’s straightforward and well-executed. The apartment has all the little touches that matter: good WiFi, decent water pressure, blackout curtains that actually work. You get your own space to decompress after a day of London chaos, plus the freedom to grab groceries and eat in if you want. The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense when you experience how everything just… works.

Why Guests Love It

This isn’t about flashy amenities or Instagram-worthy lobbies. It’s about having a proper base in London that feels like your own temporary home. The apartment gives you independence while still providing that hotel-level cleanliness and reliability. For the price point and location, you’re getting something that’s actually hard to find in central London — space, comfort, and the freedom to do your own thing. If you want to experience London like you live here rather than just visit, this is exactly the kind of place that delivers on that promise.

"Great place to stay with a fantastic host"
Great place to stay close to bus stops and shops on city road. Well equipped flat with a decent amount of space in the living area and good size bedroom. Block was pretty quiet, despite roadworks outside it (now completed) my stay was pleasant. Host was brilliant when I contacted them and checked to see everything was ok.
What could be improved: Was great and nothing I didn't like. One improvement that could be made would be to provide a colander to drain pasta/boiled veg and veg peeler which would be useful for anyone who wanted to cook.

"This may be the worst flat I’ve ever stayed in"
The location is the only redeeming feature
What could be improved: Dirty, someone else’s hair all over it, including the rug, the bedroom floor and the bath mat. The towels were damp, there was old food on one of the plates when we went to use it, and every time we came and went there were people hanging about in the stairway. The bed is two very old mattresses stacked on top of each other, no support at all, and if you are sharing the bed with someone every time they move you will also be rolled around. I raised these complaints to the owner and was essentially told I was lying
