Wild Roses Serviced Apartments – City Airport
First Impressions
Wild Roses Serviced Apartments – City Airport sits right in North Woolwich, and honestly, it’s one of those places that grows on you. The building itself is part of a renovation project, so you get that fresh, clean feeling without the sterile hotel vibe. I mean, when you’re staying near London City Airport, you’re usually just looking for something decent that won’t break the bank — and this apartment setup actually delivers on that front.
The Space Itself
What I really appreciate about this three-star place is that you get proper apartment-style living rather than just a cramped hotel room. Each unit comes with its own kitchen, which is honestly a game-changer when you’re staying for more than a night or two. You know what’s nice? Being able to make your own coffee in the morning without hunting down an overpriced café. The apartments are clean and functional — not fancy, but they’ve got everything you actually need.
Location Reality Check
Look, North Woolwich isn’t going to win any beauty contests, but the location works if you know what you’re getting into. You’re literally minutes from London City Airport, which is the whole point for most people staying here. The area’s pretty quiet, actually — it’s more residential than touristy, so you won’t find bustling streets or tons of restaurant options right outside your door. There’s a Tesco nearby though, which comes in handy when you’ve got that kitchen to work with.
Getting Around
The transport links are better than you’d expect for this part of London. King George V DLR station is walkable, and that’ll get you into central London in about 30 minutes. If you’re driving, there’s parking available, which is honestly rare and wonderful in London. The whole setup makes sense if you’re flying in and out of City Airport — you avoid the chaos of Heathrow or Gatwick while still having decent access to the city center.
Why Guests Love It
The 7.4 rating tells the real story here — it’s solid without being spectacular. People seem to appreciate the apartment-style setup, especially families or anyone staying for business trips. You get more space than a typical hotel room, plus the flexibility of self-catering. The staff keeps things running smoothly, and while the building and area aren’t going to wow anyone, everything works as advertised. It’s the kind of place that does exactly what it says on the tin, which is sometimes exactly what you need.
Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
