"What a lovely property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Melia. The service was excellent and the location was perfect, as it was close to the tube and lovely restaurants/cafes. We felt very safe in the area. The decor of the hotel was tastefully done. It smelled so good in the lobby and the fresh flowers were such an elegant touch. The breakfast every morning was very delicious as well. The rooms are nicely furnished, but small and cozy. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. "

Collingham Serviced Apartments

4.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (852)
"We had a great 6 day stay here. The property is in a perfect location and a beautiful neighborhood. The bedrooms are very small (no room for a dresser) and have small closets (and no luggage racks so we had to store our luggage in the hallway still mostly packed). It was nice to have a kitchen and a large outdoor patio. The washer dryer was broken but the staff was kind enough to do a load of laundry for us and on day 3 we came home to a new washer dryer. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again...
