Overview

First Impressions

You know what caught me off guard about Stunning 2 bed apartment located on high street, 5 minutes from New Cross station, free parking, 1 minute from famous 5 star Lit shisha bar and restaurant? It’s actually way more polished than the lengthy name suggests. This unique boutique hotel without official star rating sits right on New Cross Road, and honestly, the location works better than you’d expect for exploring South London.

The Space

The apartment setup is what makes this place different — you’re getting a proper two-bedroom space that feels more like staying at a well-connected friend’s place than a typical hotel room. The kitchen is actually functional (I mean, you can cook a real meal here), which saves you from eating out for every single bite. The whole place has this boutique vibe that doesn’t try too hard, if that makes sense.

Location & Getting Around

New Cross gets a bad rap sometimes, but I’ll tell you — it’s one of those areas that’s quietly become quite livable. You’re genuinely five minutes from New Cross station, which puts you on the Overground straight into Central London. The parking situation is brilliant too, which anyone who’s driven in London will appreciate — it’s included and you don’t have to circle the block hunting for a spot.

The Neighborhood Scene

That Lit shisha bar they mention? It’s literally around the corner, and while I wouldn’t call it famous exactly, it’s definitely popular with locals and has decent food. The high street has that mix of Caribbean shops, Turkish groceries, and the odd trendy coffee place — it’s properly diverse without being gentrified to death yet. You’ll find proper jerk chicken and good Turkish bread within walking distance, which beats hotel restaurant food any day.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be your typical hotel experience — there’s no concierge or room service. But if you want space to spread out, a place to store groceries, and easy access to both local life and central London, it actually works really well. The fact that you can park for free and hop on the train into town in under 30 minutes? That’s the sweet spot for exploring London without paying Zone 1 prices for everything.

Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.

"Very good"
I stayed here for 12 nights in Lewisham and had a wonderful experience. The place was clean, cozy, and located in a convenient area with easy access to everything. The atmosphere felt comfortable and homely throughout the stay. Only small issues were that the hand wash was missing and one of the curtains was defective, but overall it was a great stay and I’d definitely recommend it!

"Was fine as we needed it for just a night."
The apartment was modern, neat and tidy. The host was polite and they even helped us with our luggage which was very kind of them. When I rang about the heating at about 1am, the host was keen to send someone to assist which was impressive.
What could be improved: The house was really cold, so not a winter destination and layout is not suitable for young kids. Also, parking is not an option around there. The apartment is just in front of a bus lane and so taxis won’t stop in front of it. Also, there’s a restaurant below and loud music was playing well into the night which made sleeping on time difficult.

"Exceptional"
The apartment fully met our expectations. Everything as described. Public transport not far away. Even parking on the street is indeed free, and was not difficult to find. Yes, the noise from the bar downstairs is noticeable (was not a problem for us).

"Brilliant Property and Facility but impossible to sleep with the Shisha Cafe noise from below."
The Property is fantastic in a brilliant location.
What could be improved: It is on top of a Shisha Cafe. The Music is too loud and its not possible to sleep with the noise. The fact that it is on top of a loud Cafe should be in the main description when booking.

"Disappointing"
What could be improved: Nice, modern space with everything we needed ,we were happy with the accommodation, and the noise didn’t bother us at all. However, our experience at Lit Shisha Bar was extremely upsetting. Shortly after arriving, we were directly told we had to leave because of the colour of our skin and that it wasn’t “our community.” I’ve never felt so discriminated against in my life. What made it even worse is that the bar and the property are clearly owned by the same people, as they informed us themselves. When we raised the issue with the owner, they showed no empathy or concern whatsoever. We left feeling completely unwelcome. A real letdown.
