London Stay Apartments

London Stay Apartments Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to London Stay Apartments on Rotherhithe New Road, I’ll be honest — it’s not the flashiest building you’ll see. But you know what? That’s actually part of its charm. This three-star property sits quietly in Southwark, and there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole setup. The entrance is clean and straightforward, and the staff genuinely seemed happy to see me rather than just going through the motions.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where things get interesting — each apartment feels more like staying in a friend’s place than a typical hotel room. The kitchen setup is actually functional (I mean, you can cook a proper meal here, not just heat up instant noodles). I spent a good chunk of my morning making coffee and planning my day from the little dining area, which honestly felt more relaxing than rushing down to a crowded hotel breakfast room. The furnishings are modern without trying too hard, and everything you need is there — from decent Wi-Fi to enough storage space for a week’s worth of clothes.

Location Perks

Southwark gets overlooked by a lot of tourists, but that’s their loss. You’re actually in one of London‘s most interesting neighborhoods here — close enough to the Thames that you can walk to the river in about ten minutes, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you feel like you’re experiencing real London life. The Canada Water tube station is a short bus ride away, and honestly, the bus connections from this area are better than you’d expect. I found myself exploring parts of London I probably wouldn’t have discovered if I’d stayed in the obvious tourist zones.

What Makes It Work for Couples

I can definitely see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something intimate about having your own space rather than just a hotel room. You can actually spend a quiet evening in without feeling like you’re trapped in a tiny box. The apartment layout gives you room to breathe, whether you want to cook dinner together or just spread out with a book. Plus, the neighborhood has some genuinely good pubs and cafes within walking distance, the kind of places where locals actually hang out rather than tourist traps.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to blow your mind with fancy amenities or over-the-top service, but that’s sort of the point. What you get is solid value, a real sense of living in London rather than just visiting, and the kind of stay where you actually feel settled after the first night. The recent guests who rated the location highly weren’t wrong — you’re positioned perfectly to explore both the traditional London sights and the more authentic neighborhood spots that most visitors miss entirely. For the price point, you’re getting way more space and independence than you’d find in a traditional hotel, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Hotels in London span royal parks, riverside wharfs, and Victorian arcades lined with tea salons.

  This stay was excellent value for money, especially for London! My room was super comfortable and I appreciated having the kichenette. Public transportation nearby was excellent, so I had no problems getting to the centre or anywhere else in the greater London area (Richmond, Greenwich, etc).

• Ian from United Kingdom (9/10)

  This flat is tidy, well retrofitted and well arranged for what it is. the windows are good and cut down the traffic noise well and the ceilings are high making the room seem airy despite its size. The bathroom and shower are good. it is a short walk from Surrey Quays, Canada Water and South Bermondsey in a lively and developing area (zone 2). The staff are friendly and organised. For London it is good value. It is what it claims to be – a small flat with a low price in a busy area with good accessible links ideal as a base for short trips. Provided that is what you want it is a good option.

• Victoria from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Comfortable.

• Teodora from Bulgaria (8/10)

  The room was small, but well-equipped. We wanted to book an accommodation exactly in this neighbourhood for personal reasons, so it was perfect for us. The bed was a bit small for two people, but really comfortable.
