Ultra Central London, Garden, King Bed

First Impressions

Ultra Central London, Garden, King Bed sits on Great Percy Street in a Victorian conversion that immediately feels different from your typical London apartment stay. The moment you step inside, there’s this sense of space that’s honestly rare in central London — high ceilings, original period features, and large windows that actually let light flood in. It’s one of those places where you think, “okay, someone really thought about how people actually want to live.”

The Space & Setup

The king bed dominates the bedroom in the best possible way, and I mean properly comfortable — not the sort of mattress that has you counting ceiling cracks at 3am. What really sets this four-star place apart though is the garden access. You know how most London accommodations promise “outdoor space” and deliver a fire escape? This is different. There’s actual garden where you can sit with morning coffee or evening wine, which feels almost impossible to find in Zone 1.

Location & Getting Around

Great Percy Street puts you in that sweet spot between King’s Cross and Angel — close enough to everything but tucked away from the tourist chaos. The Tube connections are brilliant (Russell Square and King’s Cross St. Pancras are both walkable), but honestly, I found myself walking most places because you’re genuinely central. Coram’s Fields is just around the corner if you need green space, and the British Museum is a pleasant 10-minute stroll.

Why It Actually Works

The kitchenette setup means you can grab groceries from the Waitrose near Russell Square and actually cook something decent — which saves both money and sanity when you’re staying more than a couple nights. The whole place feels residential rather than hotel-corporate, if that makes sense. You get your own front door, proper storage space, and enough room to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase.

Why Guests Love It

It’s the combination of things that’s hard to find elsewhere in London — genuine space, that garden access, and a location that doesn’t require an hour on the Tube to reach anywhere interesting. The 8.9 rating reflects what you actually experience: a place that delivers on its promises without the usual central London compromises. You’re paying for location and comfort, and you’re actually getting both.
