Impressive Apartments

fab clean accommodation that had all the facilities - extremely generous room sizes and house keeping daily - great location with Pimlico Tube round the corner - great local bars and eateries - what is there not to love about this place - 2nd visit and will return
Jacqueline, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice bachelor pad with some history by the Thames.

This place at the rather political notorious Dolphin Square provided a bijou apartment that was just comfortably a bachelor's pad. At check-in I was given a WiFi access voucher that was only valid for one device, to connect other devices, you either tethered to your mobile phone or had to pay extra. The living is joined to a small kitchen, that has a stove, a microwave oven and a small fridge freezer, there is no washing machine or dishwasher. There is a launderette in the apartment complex, a dry cleaners, a gym and spa and a local supermarket/grocery. There is a flat screen television in the living room and the bedroom with ample storage in the reception. You probably cannot run a home office from this apartment and there is no air conditioning or fans installed. It is close to the Pimlico Underground Station and for casual walks the Thames Path leads to Chelsea Bridge and on to Battersea Park. It was quiet when I was there. For a few night's it is ideal, it would in my view work for long stayers as a home.

10/10 Exceptional

The property was clean and comfortable, and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The property has a spa, a restaurant, a pool, and a coffee shop. The beds were comfy, the room was cleaned and towels replaced daily. There’s a small shop in the eastern corridor passed the steps, but also a Tesco nearby, as well as several other shops and amenities. There is a primary school across the street, so it can be “loud” early, but being a parent, that doesn’t bother me (and also depends which way your room faces). There is a beautiful garden in the middle of the complex with great sights, and the location is a less than 5 minute walk to Pimlico tube station and about 15 minute walk to the Victoria station, making it very convenient to get around the city. I will definitely stay here again!!

4/10 Fair

Stayed four years ago and it was a much different place. Very tired and old. Needs renovations. Best part of the previous stay was the amazing breakfast they had. Although They claim breakfast is included it’s a pastry and a coffee. Expedia booking was also terrible to deal with. I gave up trying to change my stay by a day.

Fit for purpose

Fit for purpose, staff made me feel welcome. Nice for a short stay only. Limited in what you can make in the kitchenette as there was no oven only microwave oven. Sofa, table and chairs were uncomfortable but loved the king size bed, would consider stay again if at a good rate otherwise would stay at another apartment hotel.
