Overview
First Impressions
Prime Vision Living Studios – Hyde Park sits on a quiet stretch of Queensborough Terrace, and honestly, you might walk right past it if you’re not paying attention. It’s not flashy — just a neat Victorian terrace that blends seamlessly into the neighborhood. The entrance is understated, which I actually appreciate after staying in some of those over-the-top places that try too hard to impress.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s what sold me on this spot: you’re literally a two-minute walk from Hyde Park. I mean, step out the door, cross the street, and you’re at the park gates. Queensway tube station is about five minutes away, and that’s your direct line into central London. The area has this calm, residential vibe that feels refreshingly normal after a day of tourist madness. There’s a Tesco Express around the corner and plenty of cafes along Queensway — you know, the practical stuff that makes a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two.
The Studios
The room I stayed in was compact but cleverly designed. It’s basically a studio setup with a small kitchenette tucked into one corner — nothing fancy, but it has the basics if you want to make coffee or heat up something simple. The bed was comfortable enough, and there’s a decent-sized window that actually opens (surprisingly rare in London). Storage space is limited, so don’t bring your entire wardrobe, but it works fine for a week or so.
What This Three-Star Place Gets Right
Look, Prime Vision Living Studios isn’t trying to be something it’s not. The staff is helpful without being overly chatty, which I prefer. Wi-Fi works well throughout the building — I tested it from different floors. The building itself is well-maintained, and you get the sense that they actually care about keeping things clean and functional. There’s no fancy lobby or concierge service, but there’s also no pretense or inflated prices that come with all that.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it gives you exactly what you need without the extras you don’t want to pay for. The Hyde Park location is genuinely special — I found myself taking morning walks through the park before heading into the city, and it completely changed how my London days felt. You’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the chaos to actually sleep at night. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in London rather than just visiting it, and for a reasonably priced stay in one of the city’s best neighborhoods, that’s pretty hard to beat.
Hotels near me in London deliver easy walks to Trafalgar Square, the British Museum, and charming riverside paths.
Guest reviews
"All in all a good experience for a short stay."
Very central, close to stations, shops, pubs etc.
Host was most accommodating with holding our luggage.
Room was clean.
What could be improved: The bathroom was very small. I don’t recall seeing this in the pictures I saw of the property so it was a bit of a surprise. From the pictures of the apartments I was expecting something a bit more spacious.

"A decent and cosy minimalistic apartment."
The staff had provided a hair dryer aswell as other self-care essentials; chores were easy to take care of. The bed was sizeable, comfortable and the sheets were comfy and warm.
We liked the shared washing room - there were plenty of dryers and washing machines for use; there were non-bio capsules provided but whether the property provided these themselves is unknown to me.
The whole apartment was homely and cozy, as I personally prefer them to be.
The single key that unlocks the front door and the room door is convenient.
The TV had YouTube, Netflix and various other streaming services.
The radiator was great, and was advanced (at least for us) - it had a touchscreen.
What could be improved: Ultimately, the bathroom. .
Absolutely tiny, you can literally just about rotate on the spot. The water flow from the tap in the sink isn’t great and the angle you have to use it at is inconvenient. There’s no mirror in the bathroom. The shower door doesn’t shut properly - it reopens slightly, but this doesn’t lead to a wet floor.
This all sounds bad - the bathroom is usable, you just have to adapt and it’s not exactly comfortable. You can get your stuff done though.
Sounds petty; but the toaster was a bit tacky and small.
Providing tea and coffee is always ideal and I think should be a standard in BNB’s, it makes a difference.

"Location was great, it was nice clean, check in details were clear, only downside was the very compact bathroom."
Location was terrific being so close to shops, restaurants and trains.
What could be improved: Bathroom was very, very compact.

"Pleasant"
The only positive thing about the apartment is the location
What could be improved: The apartment didn't match the description. The 13th photo on Booking.com was our location. It was very small. The bed was very awkwardly positioned behind the couch. Everything was clean and OK, though. What was strange was that there wasn't a single roll of toilet paper. That's standard in hotels, right?

"Comfort, style, and convenience"
This London flat was an absolute gem! Its prime location in the heart of the city, coupled with excellent transport links, made getting around incredibly easy. The flat itself was exceptionally clean and extremely comfortable, I particularly loved the stylish furnishings and the view of a cute little courtyard from the large window. The provided fan was a thoughtful touch for the summers. Although my visit was just for one night, I'm already looking forward to returning in September for my internship. The host was incredibly helpful, and their prompt and clear communication made the entire experience seamless. Highly recommend this place.

"Perfect location and great hosts"
The location of this studio is great, it looks exactly as shown in the pictures and the hosts are extremely helpful. Considering it's London, the price is really decent and I would certainly stay in this particular studio again. The fact that there is a laundry room in the building (with both washing machines and dryers) is a huge advantage in case of longer stays.

"Misleading listing, unclean room, and unhelpful host. Disappointing. Not worth the cost."
Only good thing about this place is the location.
What could be improved: The apartment was unclean with dust, sticky floors, broken chair and hairs on the bed. The building itself felt rundown and uncomfortable. It was unclean, poorly maintained, and had clearly not been properly cleaned before our arrival. The photos on the listing were misleading – the actual room did not match the standard of what was advertised. When we raised our concerns, the host was unhelpful and dismissive, and we ended up leaving and booking somewhere else.
Do yourself a favour and read the most recent reviews before booking. This property is overpriced for what it offers, and the way it is presented online is incredibly misleading. Definitely would not recommend.

"Dont !"
The location is alright that is it!
What could be improved: The floor is sticky from how dirty it was!
The washing machine ruined my clothes
The bed is too small not really double more like single and a half!
No AC it was roasting at night
The shower had no hot water for half a day
No elevators so if you have a baby buggy dont go there!
And the place is way smaller than the pictures
By the way no reception you have to email them if something is not working!
And check out is at 10 am! Who the heck leaves at 10 am if you have a late flight you are stuck with your bags for few hours in the street!

"London kao grad nudi veliki broj različitih sadržaja tako je boravak u apartmanu minimalan"
Lokacija i pristup objektu su veoma dobri. Kraj je veoma prijatan, bez buke prouzrokovane saobraćajem ili drugim komercijalnim sadržajima.
What could be improved: Jastuci bi trebalo biti veći ili pored postojećih staviti još po jedan. Voda u kadi je jedva odlazila tako da povremeno proveriti slivnik. Peškire menjati na 3 dana ili bar jednom u nedelju dana. S'obzirom da je apartman izuzetno malih dimenzija cena za jednonedeljni boravak bi trebala da bude niža.
