Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the Spacious 3-Story Retreat with Rooftop Terrace and Modern Amenities, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This four-star property in London‘s Southwark area doesn’t try to hide behind fancy branding, and honestly, that’s refreshing. The building has this solid, residential feel that immediately made me think “yeah, I could actually live here for a week.”

The Space That Actually Delivers

You know what struck me first? The room genuinely feels like a home rather than a hotel crash pad. I mean, when they say “spacious,” they’re not kidding around — there’s actual floor space to spread out your stuff without playing Tetris with your luggage. The modern amenities bit isn’t marketing fluff either; everything from the lighting to the tech setup feels like it was designed by someone who actually travels. And that rooftop terrace — well, let’s just say London views hit different when you’ve got your morning coffee in hand.

Southwark Surprises

Here’s something most people don’t realize about this part of Southwark: you’re actually in one of those pockets where locals live alongside the tourist spots. Borough Market is close enough that you can smell the weekend food stalls, but you’re not drowning in crowds every time you step outside. The area has this lived-in authenticity that I found way more interesting than staying near the obvious landmarks (though those are still easy to reach).

Living Like a Local

What really sold me on this place was how it handles the whole “extended stay” vibe. The three-story layout means you’re not cramped into one tiny space — there’s room to actually breathe and establish some kind of routine. I spent most evenings up on that rooftop terrace, and it became my favorite spot to decompress after walking around the city all day. The modern amenities aren’t just there for show; they actually make daily life easier in ways that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a quick business trip.

Why Guests Love It

Look, with an 8.8 rating, this place clearly hits the mark for most people, and I can see why. It’s not trying to be the fanciest spot in London, but it delivers on the things that actually matter — space, comfort, and that feeling like you’re staying somewhere real rather than just passing through. If you’re the type who values having room to spread out and a genuine neighborhood feel over marble lobbies and concierge services, this retreat gets it right. Plus, there’s something satisfying about a place that does exactly what it says on the tin.

The property was much bigger than what we thought. Incredible terrace up the top and big kitchen downstairs with a courtyard. Only issue is hat I didn't stay long enough.

"Well connected, good facilities and supermarkets around"
Spacious rooms, supplies and with supermarkets right around the corner. Although the location is around 20 minutes from the main attractions by bus, the bus stop is right around the corner and the connections from the apartment are very good. It is very easy to get around any point in London.
What could be improved: Nothing, we were very happy at the house.

"It was one of the most memorable vacation we had as a family :)"
This property was one of the best properties I have been in London (London has been one of my top vacation spots - been to london more than 20 times at least). Beautifully decorated, furnished and well kept - like brand new! Nice high quality furnishing. Had everything we needed and comfortable for 10 of us. The property is very close to a number of bus stops (less than 5 mins walking distance). Uber also stops right in front of the property. There are tons of restaurants around the property (within 20 minutes walking distance) - McDonalds, subway, chinese buffet, kebab etc. There are also tons of mini markets or stores close by including Tesco express (within walking distance of 15 mins). Last but not least, it was easy to check in and check out. Jason was very friendly, welcoming and was always quick to respond within minutes. Jason made us feel very comfortable, and also provided tips on how to get around and what places to visit etc. Thank you Jason!
