Overview
First Impressions
St Paul’s London Apartments sits right in the heart of the City of London, literally a stone’s throw from St Paul’s Cathedral. I mean, when I first walked up to 75 Little Britain, I was honestly surprised by how tucked away it felt despite being so central. The building has that classic London apartment block feel — nothing flashy, but solid and reassuring in a way that makes you think you’re staying where locals actually live.
The Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re walking distance from St Paul’s Cathedral, but you’re also right in the thick of the financial district. During weekdays, London buzzes around you with suited workers grabbing coffee, but come evening and weekends, it gets surprisingly quiet. The Barbican is just a short walk north, and honestly, having those cultural venues so close was a nice bonus I wasn’t expecting.
The Apartment Experience
This three-star setup gives you proper apartment living rather than hotel service — which, you know what, actually works really well for the area. Each unit comes with a decent kitchen setup, so you can grab groceries from the nearby Tesco Metro and save some money on London’s restaurant prices. The room I stayed in was clean and functional, though don’t expect luxury touches — think more “comfortable London flat” than “boutique hotel.”
Getting Around
The transport links here are honestly pretty solid. Barbican and St Paul’s tube stations are both walkable, which means you can get pretty much anywhere in London without too much fuss. What I really appreciated was being able to walk to the South Bank across Millennium Bridge — there’s something special about having that quick route over the Thames. The area has decent bus connections too, though I found myself walking most places because everything felt manageable on foot.
Why Guests Love It
Look, St Paul’s London Apartments isn’t going to win any design awards, but it delivers exactly what you’d want from a central London base. The apartment setup means you have space to spread out and live a bit like a local, the location puts you right in the historic heart of the city, and the price point makes sense for what you’re getting. If you’re the type of traveler who values being in the middle of everything over fancy amenities, this place actually hits the mark pretty well.
Exploring London blends royal heritage, UNESCO landmarks, and vibrant neighborhoods glowing with golden-hour light.

"Great location, small and dark apartment"
What could be improved: Picking up the keys from another location . Also keys were hard to use. They didn’t work properly. It was hard to figure out how to use thrm

"Pleasant"
Location was perfect for exploring London on foot. So centrally located but with the benefit of looking out on a very peaceful park
What could be improved: Would echo some of the comments made by others. Facilities were basic but clean, although we booked for 5 people and there wasn’t enough bedding (sheets but no pillow or duvet). Communication was good in advance, with really detailed step-by-step instructions, however, when we got there it was difficult to use the keys to get firstly into the block and, secondly, into the flat. Once we managed it, I phoned the agency to see if there was an alternative way to enter the block (I.e. key code) and it took several calls to get some resolution/answer. We eventually worked out the knack to working both keys and the rest of the trip was smooth afterwards

"It was ok, and a fair price for what you get. Could be so much better though!"
Easy check in and check out. Location was very good. NIce area.
What could be improved: Key doesn't work properly. It's almost impossible to get in and out of main door. Tatty in places. Lack of some basic facilities. These are easy things to remedy to make the apartment much more user friendly. No wardrobe, or any kind of storage in one of the bedrooms. No mirrors in bedrooms, only in bathrooms, but you can't reach them with a hairdryer in there. No full-length mirror. No fans, and it was boiling hot during our stay so we had to go out and purchase some.
In summary, it was a solid 6. Location was good, apartment was spacious and clean. All it needs is some attention to detail and it could be very good!

"Avoid it"
Location was perfect for my week of work in St Pauls. The building was lovely.
What could be improved: On my arrival on the Monday evening, after I had collected the keys from the 24hr shop, when I got to Milton House, someone coming out of the property kindly held the door open for me due to my having a suitcase. I then let myself in the flat. The flat was freezing cold, all windows left open. The double room had no radiators, no en-suite and resembled a prison cell with water stained walls, no wardrobe hanging space and just bedside table (no lamps). The second bedroom had 2 single beds, an en-suite bath and shower, radiators and a TV in the bedroom, with wardrobes - so I had to sleep in a single bed for the week. The cleanliness was overall really good, however the 'plunger' plug in the bath didn't work (which is the kind of thing you don't kind out until you are trying to empty the bath) and the side of the bath was dirty and mouldy. On my second night, after work I returned back to the property to find that the fob for keyless entry wasn't working and the key to the front at Milton House didn't work either. After 15 mins if being outside, someone else left the property and let me in. In the morning I spoke with concierge who told me "the barrel lock is broken, everyone knows that". When I called the property, at 08:11 I was reassured that someone would arrange to have a second set of keys made available for me, and they would call me back. At 13:50 - still not heard anything, and still in possession of a broken fob and keys that don't work in the lock. When I called again they said the person dealing with it was on their lunch and would call me back. Nothing. I called back at 16:45 - got told the the office was now closing and "A senior would have to sort it out tomorrow, 'bruv'". All in all, the flat was poor, the service want much better.

Posizione e pulizia generale ottima
Servizi ottimi e appartamento molto bello
Dispone di tutto quello che serve in un appartamento
Esperienza generale ottima
What could be improved: Purtroppo il riscaldamento non funzionava per un problema tecnico e le stufe fornite per tamponare non funzionavano di conseguenza
Data la stagione invernale problema non da poco

"Excelente ubicación. Empezas a recorrer Londres desde la puerta del departamento."
Excelente ubicación y muy cómodo. Amplio con vistas a un jardín. Dos baños y dos habitaciones.
What could be improved: La entrega de llaves es a unas cuadras y el negocio tiene mal trato con las personas. La puerta de entrada es difícil de abrir porq está falseada
