Checking in I was shocked at how little effort it was. There were people crowded in the lobby. One guy was changing his shirt and others were either sitting around or going through their bags.
I was given room #202 which is on the 2nd floor ( no elevator) and the only nice thing is that there is only one other room up the steps.
1st impression: filthy filthy hallways and walls. There were suitcases all over by the stairs because it’s the “suitcase storage” area. No one was watching them and anyone at any point could have taken the wrong bag.
Upon walking into the room I smelled musty wetness. Steps in I saw the water running down the wall from the AC which has not only damaged the wall but also the floor. When stepping from the bedroom area to the bathroom the floor was spongy with wetness seeping up. I immediately went to the front desk where the gal rolled her eyes and told me there were no other rooms. Obviously staff know about the damage/ health and safety issue but don’t care.
I turned off the AC and opened up the windows to get as much fresh air in as possible.
There are no hair dryers in the room but on day 2 I was able to get one from the front desk.
There is a tea kettle and instant tea/ coffee but no silverware/ stir sticks.
The room was filthy all around but the bed was surprisingly comfortable ( or maybe I was exhausted and didn’t notice otherwise ).

Springs were making pinging noises and every time we turned over a new one stuck in your side. The air conditioner through out black dust all over the white sheets and pillows..such a shame because the room and people were lovely

Avoid - ants on bed and in room

There ants in our room. When we told reception they said that “it’s okay” and they had put gel in the walls to attract them and that they didn’t want to disturb us. The ants were all over the bed.

Charming from the outside, it’s reasonably clean on the inside. One thing stops me from ever staying again is the noise from the room above.
The furniture is unstylish and dated, so though plenty of character on the external, the internal is astonishingly mismatched and old. The bed was ok, the kitchen ok, too.
The nicest bit was the tiled, heated bathroom floor, which was a surprise considering the floor in the rest of the room comprised of chipped, stick-on laminate flooring.
But it’s the noise from above that is a deal-breaker. They need to carpet or install sound-proofing.

Sorry but this place is Filthy. Sticky floors and dirty everywhere. Flooring was likely the worst of any hotel I’ve ever stayed.
Had a kitchenette and everything was dirty. Everything in the room was worn out. Bare wires hanging down in bathroom, furniture that was also worn out.
To add and not inconsequential, the staff were on the phone shouting at 6am meaning everyone was woken up.

Not for us

Reception staff very on welcome and departure
however
- the property reception area was not 4* and did not smell very clean, scruffy
- Arriving at hotel - people hanging around drunk outside the door on arrival and they were tenants
- After returning later from dinner around 9ish - tenants had open room doors shouting across the corridor to each on ground floor just as one turns the corner from reception to access other rooms, very intimidating! Can’t believe reception did not tell them to stop as you could clearly hear the shouting
- The room was average with dirty stained in need of repair net blinds and one which wouldn’t open properly
- The room Had an access door which lead to 2 private doors
One marked Staff and the other door to the room.
There was a wire coming out from under the room marked STAFF which went under the access door and was plugged into a socket in the corridor - very odd and a hazard.
- Just as one was about to fall asleep Staff obviously entered the room next door and started cooking and talking
- The staff door closing and opening during night, very unsettling
Overall not a good business stay for a Monday night and not a place I would bring my family.

Have stayed at this hotel 3 times before but not in the last 18 months & it was a good location with parking & always well looked after. Well on this trip I can only say my room was disgusting (see photos)! The mattress was dirty & stained, the walls filthy & smeared with dirt & handprints, around the floor boards filthy, damaged furniture, window blind broke off & just hooked over the fittings so it fell off as you tried to open it, toilet sheet damaged & hanging off!!! Lots more too, made a video which really shows how bad things are but can’t post on here. Spoke to manager verse email & 50% refund offered which never happened, now serval emails later no reply!!

Air con worked only some of the time. Place is basically for social housing with hotels.com clients filling the gaps. No bar, no restaurant, no communal lounge ie NOT a hotel/aparthotel at all.

Stayed only 1 night of 8 I paid for, no refund.

Terrible room condition, an extremely squeezed place at a decent rate. Even parking costs 10 pounds. As soon as we checked in, we realized we cannot stay for 8 nights that we have paid for already (1250 pounds), and checked out the next morning. No refund was issued whatsoever. So, even though we lost about 1000 pounds, I still feel we made the right decision. The manager knows that people would like to check out after seeing/staying in the room, and therefore puts in the clause of non-refundable in the bookings.

The good: the location is fantastic for getting around London via the tube, having a toaster, microwave and fridge in the room is really helpful as it means you don’t have to eat out everyday, parking is great we managed to park about a 1 minute walk from our room and we felt safe with the car location (far enough from people walking by), the desk area with mirror was perfect for my wife doing makeup as the mirror had some lighting, there was a decent amount of storage for hanging clothes and hangers were provided.

The not so good: there was no maid service so in the 5 days we stayed, the tea, coffee, shower gel, bins and cutlery used were not replaced, there was also no turn down service...the double bed was just two single mattresses together and so one of us was falling down the middle through the night, there were ants in the room (the room only had a small door separating it from outside so probably easy for little bugs to get in).

Lovely Hotel/Apartment but needs some TLC

I've never stayed in an Apartment/Hotel before, so was a bit surprised to get to my room to find a set of stairs. The bathroom was nice, well-kept and clean, and the shower was larger than normal, which was a pleasant surprise. There was a little kitchenette area with a fridge and microwave which I didn't really use but was a nice addition. There was a large living room area with very high ceilings and the bedroom upstairs was a decent size with clean, modern décor. The only downside really was that the whole place was a bit run-down. It was clean but there were lots of chips in the paint etc. and it just looked like it needs a bit of TLC.

The area was fine and the location was really convenient for getting to 02 Forum.

I can see why people would be disappointed as it was a bit rough around the edges BUT having stayed in several hotels/apartments around London, I would say that this is definitely one of the best I've found in this price range. I would happily stay here again and recommend to others.

Nice idea, badly executed.

We stayed in the cottage annex but clearly it’s not geared up for guests yet. Here’s a list:
Outside door to the car park, only one lock
Bedroom 1 - full of spare beds/mattresses/wardrobes etc
Bedroom 2 - unfinished - screws in the wall, handles off wardrobe
Kitchen - light out of ceiling
Bathroom 1 - wire hanging out of wall, unfinished floor tiling, shower door knobs not attached
Bathroom 2 - light hanging down in shower, unsafe wiring into light, loose floor tiles
Bedroom 3 - blue tack marks everywhere, no curtains, just fabric, 3/4 size bed.
Bedroom 4 - radiator valve not working
No tv as advertised. Asked for one, it didn’t arrive.

Normally we just make do, but this wasn’t cheap and it’s a bit unsafe, especially with little ones. Awaiting a reply from So hotels.

First impressions good but.........

This hotel is very close to Archway tube and has good bus connections. Massive ticks for having a kitchenette with toaster, fridge and microwave in the room. Plenty of fluffy towels and extra bedding.
But I would struggle to describe the room as Executive. The carpet probably saw it's better days years ago and full of stains. There was a permanent drain smell in the bathroom and the concertina shower door stuck so a squeeze for most to get in. Don't be persuaded by the complimentary toiletries. The walls were badly in need of redoing. The aircon/heating system was noisy and very filthy. But it really depends on what you are prepared to put up with. The room I was in was over two floors with stairs connecting to the bedroom so not appropriate for all and the furniture like the carpet has seen better days. I would expect if booked ahead of time the price would be lower and it looks like there were parking spaces. For all bookings a passport or driving license is required as visual identification. This I have never encountered in Britain before so if like me you don't drive and not in the habit of carrying your passport for U.K. journeys it could be a problem. The hotel doesn't have a left luggage space. The very high window was opened when I arrived perhaps to try to minimise the drain smell from the bathroom. I was pleased just to have spent one night here but if choices are minimal it might suit some people

Great building, good facilities, nice place to stay with easy access to the northern line, buses etc. Safe, free parking a big bonus. Only drawbacks were the chatting and laughter of the cleaners very early in the mornings, which we asked nicely if something could be done about, but they seem to work in pairs and never seem to stop talking to even take a breath. The acoustics of the building didn't help, but overall a great base for visiting London.

Bed Bugs - Filthy Dirty - Avoid At All Cost

I booked this hotel as the photos on the website looked great and it had free parking available. I arrived late at night to find a pretty dirty room, and not much like any of the photos I had seen. It wasn't until I woke up the next morning that I realised I had been sleeping with bed bugs! When I moved the headboard there were a number of bugs behind and on closer inspection there were visible bugs on the bedding. I reported this to reception who agreed with me about the problem and moved me to a new room. This room was just as dirty as the last one, but worse still there was still evidence of bugs on the bedding and behind the head board. I couldn't find an alternative hotel in time, so slept in my car for the night until I could find a new hotel for the next two nights. I've never written such a negative review before, but I'm just really keen for nobody else to have the same problems as I encountered here. Avoid at all cost.

Regardless it is a useful positioned hotel,

The So Arch suits are evenings out to the West End, the parking is a bonus. Unfortunately such a well used apart hotel it is expected that there are stains on the carpet in the room. They do require replacing, however maybe they should use an alternative covering in the area of the sink unit.

Impossible to find and really rude staff

Arrived late at night and couldn't find the property. Telephone number on the confirmation email didn't work. Ended up phoning Expedia who kept me waiting for ages while they phoned the Hotel. Staff from the Hotel then telephoned me. The guy spoke very poor English and couldn't even tell me the property number. He gave me a different post code which was the next street and eventually after over an hour of me walking up and down the street he came out to find me.

The property is actually accessed from a lane off the street!

At check in he demanded photo ID?? I didn't have any and he was really rude.

I eventually got to my room which was very comfortable but the fridge hadn't been emptied from the previous occupant and the carpet was really badly stained all over.

Good but not great.

Good hotel, close to tube station on the northern line. Room could use a little love. Air conditioner working but bits hanging off of it! Friendly staff and great there is free parking, not many spaces though!

Need to improve service,

There seemed to be a shortage of cleaning staff. Had to beg to get our sheets changed after 3 nights and they did not make up the bed daily. Was very upset when a cleaner, apparently new, threw out my wheatgrass which I had in a ziplock container along with a measuring spoon on the dresser area. I used this as my green drink daily for health purposes. Also,they were very stingy with the toiletries.They left one small bar of soap for 2 persons for 5 days. Had to ask for shower gel one night when there was none.

Basic apartment to discover London from

Good option when you want to spend a few nights in London and have the benefit of a small kitchen to keep the food related cost down. Supermarkets and shops around the corner (on route from the tube station). 24 hour reception, clean bathroom and (bed)linen which for us was most important. The furniture and carpet in our 'Deluxe' room had seen better days, but functional. Would stay again if only looking for a base to discover London from

Convenient for to tube and free parking was great!

The bed in our room was a very small double which wasn't great especially when the room is big enough to for a queen size.

Dirty rooms. The worst customer service ever!

Shocking! We live in London and as we are moving house we needed a hotel for 2 nights. When we saw the state of the room at So Arch we decided not to stay there, the carpets are covered in stains it is very run down. We called customer relations to get a refund and spoke to the manager Silvia. She said she would move us to a clean room or refund us. We went back to the hotel but there were no other rooms available so we waited to talk with Silvia who was now 'busy'. We never got through to her that day despite repeated attempts and she continued to avoid us in the week that followed, before finally replying with a series of blatant untruths that contradict our actual experience. We are still waiting for our refund that she promised us, we didn't stay in this hotel but have paid for it. The management seem to have no desire to sort this out.

Need to improve a lot

This is a not good experience to stay in this hotel. The room is not clear and the bed is not comfortable at all. We were regret to book this hotel and never come back again.

Perfect location for sightseeing large appartments

Overall this hotel was excellent but they do fall down on little things that are important..no forks or kettle- on arrival..I booked an accessible room(expedia or management fault) which was already let so had to stay in another room which made life difficult for my mother and we couldn't unpack for one night..the accessible room was large but no where to eat your food off as no table..worse thing was the accessible bathroom had a large lip of wood as a threshhold and caused the wheelchair to tip entirely backwards causing us uneccessary grief and injury! Very upsetting ..I reported this to reception but they weren't interested!.. This meant I had to assist her in chair every time into the bathroom even in middle of night..The wet room also flooded as Drain was blocked..deeming the room unusable for about an hour..this was room101! I do hope I get a response from hotel management as reception staff although pleasant..had no concern.

Was great to be in the public transportation hub

Simple to get to public transportation. We got to see everything we wanted without costing us a ton in transportation. It was easy, comfortable and clean.

Enjoyed my experience at the hotel.

Everything you need.

Excellent hotel with everything you could need for a visit to London. Parking and location close to the Tube a big plus.
