NOHO 132 SERVICED APARTMENTS, London

The apartment sits directly opposite a Tesco supermarket, with a pub and a barbershop above the property, making errands and dining highly convenient. Oxford Circus tube station is a 9-minute walk, Tottenham Court Road 14 minutes, and many central attractions such as Carnaby Street, Madame Tussauds, and the British Museum are within walking distance. London City Airport is 17 km away. The area is well connected by bus and tube, and a number of cafés, brunch spots, and restaurants are clustered on the same street. For those attending events, several venues are only 5 to 10 minutes on foot, reducing the need for taxis. The street is reasonably quiet for its central location, though some evening noise from traffic and passers-by can be heard in lower-floor rooms.

Room types vary significantly. Basement studios (e.g. Apartment 1) have no windows, rely on mechanical ventilation, and have underfloor heating that can be difficult to control; these rooms can feel dark and claustrophobic but stay cooler in hot weather. Upper-floor studios and one-bedroom units are spacious, bright, and modern, with high ceilings and large closets. The two-bedroom apartment, located on the top floor, offers two large en-suite bedrooms and is quiet, but requires climbing stairs. All apartments include a private bathroom with shower, a kitchenette equipped with a two-plate hob, microwave, kettle, and either an oven or hob, plus a washing machine in many units. Beds are UK standard double (135 cm x 190 cm). Amenities include a flat-screen TV, free WiFi, a sofa, heating, and portable fans. Decor is modern and clean, but some lower-floor rooms have reported minor issues: mould on ceilings, steep stairs making luggage movement difficult, and limited electrical outlets. No cots or extra beds are provided.

The property does not have its own restaurant or bar, but the location is surrounded by options. A Tesco is directly across the street for groceries and essentials, and a pub is literally next door. Within a minute's walk are several cafés, brunch spots, and restaurants - including Bellaria Restaurant & Wine Bar, Foley's, and Conchiglia - all within 0.5 km. The kitchenette in each apartment is equipped for self-catering, with a hob, microwave, kettle, and oven or hob, making it practical for preparing meals. Coffee and tea are provided as complimentary basics. For those wanting a fuller meal, many restaurants and cafes are within easy walking distance along Oxford Street and Carnaby Street.

Free WiFi is available in all rooms. Express check-in and check-out are standard, with keys accessed via a secure self-service system and a building intercom. No reception is on site, but communication is by clear emailed instructions. There is no parking, no lift, and no luggage storage. The property is adults only (minimum check-in age 21) and strictly accommodates a maximum of two persons per room; no extra beds, cots, or air mattresses are provided. No pets are allowed. Safety features include CCTV outside, key access, and smoke alarms. Portable fans are available on request to compensate for no air conditioning. Housekeeping is not part of daily servicing; linens and towels are provided. Laundry services are not available, but many apartments have a washing machine for self-use.
