Overview
First Impressions
Let me be honest — Top-Floor Studio with Private Terrace & London Skyline Views isn’t your typical hotel stay, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. This three-star apartment sits on Osnaburgh Street in Camden, tucked into a quiet residential block that most tourists would walk right past. The building itself is pretty standard Victorian conversion stuff, but once you climb those stairs to the top floor, you start to get why this place has a following.
The Space
The studio is compact — I mean, really compact — but it’s laid out smartly enough that you don’t feel cramped. There’s a small kitchenette with the basics (kettle, mini-fridge, couple of burner plates) that actually works if you’re planning to grab groceries from the Sainsbury’s down the street. The room flows into a sitting area with a decent sofa that doubles as extra sleeping space, though honestly, one person will be most comfortable here.
That Terrace Though
Here’s where things get good — that private terrace isn’t just marketing speak. You’ve got this little outdoor space that feels like your own secret spot above London. The skyline views aren’t Westminster and Big Ben dramatic, but you can see across the rooftops toward the city center, especially nice at sunset. I spent way more time out there with morning coffee than I expected to. There’s a small table and a couple of chairs, nothing fancy, but it works.
Location Reality Check
Camden gets a lot of hype, but this particular street is actually pretty quiet — you’re close enough to walk to the market and music venues, but far enough away that you won’t hear drunk tourists at 2 AM. Regent’s Park is literally a five-minute walk, which honestly surprised me the first time I stayed here. The Tube connections are solid too — Great Portland Street station gets you into central London without the Camden Town station chaos.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to win any design awards, and the shower pressure could be better. But there’s something appealing about having your own little space in London rather than another identical hotel room. The terrace makes all the difference — it’s where you’ll end up eating takeaway dinner while watching the city settle into evening. For the price point and that outdoor space, it actually delivers on what it promises, just don’t expect room service or a concierge desk.
Guest reviews
"Key collection is next to tube, then 10 mins walk. Interesting area and close to where I needed to be."
Spacious bed/dining room, well equipped kitchen (though no coffee making) and pleasant bathroom
What could be improved: I’d rather not have pot plants if they’re plastic!
Door to balcony didn’t open. A locksmith had called before I arrived and left a note.

"Lovely views, clean and well decorated"
Fantastic views, well decorated and clean. Overall a nice place to stay. Mattress is VERY soft so won’t be to everyone’s taste.
What could be improved: Getting the keys is a bit of a pain, it’s a 10 min plus walk from the accommodation not much fun in 30 degrees carrying bags around.

"Great views, very clean and spacious."
Very clean and great views from the balcony. The washer/dryer was really convenient and the kitchen had all the needed appliances, except for a dishwasher, which we don’t use anyway. However, the plug in the sink didn’t work so that was a challenge, but a minor inconvenience.
Having a bath under the was nice, so one could relax.
What could be improved: The lack of hanging space for clothes ( no wardrobe or rack) proved tricky. The toilet was too high off the floor so very uncomfortable. The extra steps from the elevator may prove difficult for those with heavy luggage.But, all in all, these didn’t really trouble our short stay of 3 nights. The hostess had the lock on a window fixed very promptly ( especially as it was the weekend) so we were very happy overall.

"Nice place, bad key access."
Bright, the view on London, it was clean.
What could be improved: To shower the second person has to wait for the water to heat (the first shower was quick). The pick-up spot and drop-off for the keys - is really far away from the apartment. 12 min walking each time, which is not great with the luggage.

"Great central area, but exceptionally clean, comfortable and peaceful!"
The apartment was very clean and spacious. Easy check in/out and very peaceful to stay in.
What could be improved: It was quite warm so some air conditioning would have been advantageous.

"Nice"
Very modern and clean, all the utilities you need and more. Sockets near bed was very useful.
What could be improved: Bed wasn’t the most comfortable and couldn’t figure out how to use the heating.

"Good"
Nice views. Very clean, well equipped apartment. Nicely decorated.
What could be improved: The blind was too small for the window next to the bed and no blind at all on the balcony door so it was very light in the room in the early hours which did disturb sleep.
