Citadines Trafalgar Square

The location could not be bettered for a tourist visiting London. Quick walk to Charing Cross Station and Embankment tube. Trafalgar Square is a hop, skip and a jump away, too easy! Quick walk to get to on off tour buses, two small supermarkets nearby for all your cooking needs (Coop and Tesco Express). Directly opposite a very well known restaurant for British food, Kerridges. Cafes on street plus Waterstones book store. Three or even more good English pubs in area, Sherlock Holmes, The Chandos and The Admiralty. Check out newly reopened The Portrait Gallery nearby. Easy access by bus from TS to Oxford Street and many other areas. Loved the laundry facility run by Wewash (get app). Room size was good for a studio for twin room. Nothing missing in room, even has a retractable washing line. Free coffee in lobby. Studio has a bathtub with shower above. Nice for soaking aching bones after lots of pavement pounding around London. Comfy beds and rooms are delightfully air conditioned. Medium sized fridge (no icebox), microwave, cooktop and small dishwasher. Table set for meals.

The location was fabulous for a first time traveller to London. Most attractions and sites were within walking distance . Local Bus stops and Big Bus tour stops very close . Many cafes and restaurants were in the same street or very nearby. Apartment style rooms were great and serviced every couple of days. Bed very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value.

Location Location Location!!! A min walk from Embarkment tube station and 2 min walk from Embarkment river bus pier. 5 min walk to Charing Cross tube and train station. 5 min walk to national gallery and 10 min walk to leister Square or southbank (Christmas market). Room: The room was large (which was useful for a week-long stay with suitcases) and the bed was very comfortable. We got room 302 (twin beds) which is facing the back and was very quiet. It also had a window that can be opened. The kitchen is fully equipped (including dishwasher tablets and hand towel). Note that room cleaning happens only if you stay more than 7 nights (but you can ask to schedule it after 4 nights in the lobby). Reception: The coffee/tea/hot chocolate in the lobby was a great feature in both mornings and evenings (in the last couple of days one of the machines was broken which created a queue for the working one). We reported three more issues to the reception team: 1 An issue with the safe (low battery) - we reported about it on our way in, and someone got immediately to the room to replace the butteries. 2 We had an issue with the dishwasher, reported it on our way out and someone fixed it while we were out (we approved). 3 When we asked to get another set of towels – it took 2 hours and on 1am someone knocked on the door and waked us up… ☹

There is no way to overestimate the location of Citadines : it is excellent. Close (walking distance) to SOHO, Trafalgar square, the London eye, Big Ben, Picadilly Circus and Regent street, Buckingham Palace. Close to two Underground stations. I booked a two bedroom appt, with a fifth person sleeping on the coutch-bed. All accommodation was quite big and very comfortable. The appt was very spacey, on two levels with internal staircase and had windows (partially opening) which could let air and light in. There were enough cupboards for clothes. The kitchen was rather well equipped for a good breakfast, not for real cooking though (no pans, no sizeable pot). There was a microwave and good quality kettle and toaster. Nice and quiet fridge, a dishwasher. There was a big table and chairs to sit around and have breakfast. Clean and modern bathroom and lots of hot water There was coffee, hot chocolate and water free at the lounge, to also take upstairs

Location was execellent for the purpose of this visit
