First Impressions
The Split Level Apartment sits on a quiet residential street in Camden, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you weren’t looking. That’s actually part of its charm — it feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s place than in a typical hotel. The building has that classic London brick facade, and when you step inside, you immediately get why this four-star property has such a loyal following among travelers who want something different.
Location & Neighborhood
Being in London‘s NW1 means you’re perfectly positioned between Camden’s buzz and Regent’s Park’s green spaces. I mean, you can walk to Camden Market in about ten minutes, but when you want to escape the crowds, the canal towpath is right there for morning jogs or evening strolls. The nearest tube station is Camden Town, which puts you on the Northern line — honestly one of the most useful lines if you’re doing the tourist circuit or heading into the City for business.
The Space
What sets this place apart is the split-level design (hence the name, obviously). The main room flows into a compact kitchen area that’s actually functional — not just a mini-fridge and kettle situation. Upstairs, there’s a cozy sleeping loft that feels surprisingly private, even though you’re technically in a studio setup. The whole space has been done up with modern touches while keeping some of those period features that make London properties so appealing.
Practical Details
The kitchen setup is where this place really shines for longer stays. You’ve got proper counter space, a decent-sized fridge, and even a dishwasher — which, let’s be honest, is pretty rare in London. There’s no on-site restaurant, but given the neighborhood’s food scene, that’s hardly a problem. The wifi is solid (I tested it thoroughly), and there’s actually decent parking available, though you’ll want to book that in advance since street parking around here can be a nightmare.
Why Guests Love It
Look, if you want a traditional hotel experience with room service and a concierge, this isn’t your place. But if you appreciate having your own space, being able to grab groceries at the nearby Sainsbury’s, and feeling like a temporary local rather than a tourist, the Split Level Apartment delivers exactly that. The hosts are responsive without being intrusive, and they’ve clearly thought through all the little details that make a difference — proper hangers, enough outlets, decent water pressure. It’s one of those places where you actually look forward to coming back at the end of the day.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
