Alma Rooms

Very nice, well equipped apartment in a perfect location.

The Alma Rooms was an absolute highlight of our trip! The apartment is spacious, super clean and incredibly comfortable, with large windows that flood the space with natural light and fresh air. Despite being on a busy street, the quality of the windows made it completely silent at night. The location is beautiful. Islington is a wonderful neighbourhood to explore, and we were lucky enough to catch the Sunday farmers market on Chapel Market, just around the corner. A perfect local experience! The host was genuinely warm, welcoming and thoughtful. The manual left in the room (with local recommendations, nearby attractions, tips and appliance instructions) was such a lovely touch as well! We will absolutely be back on our next visit to London. 10/10, couldn't recommend more highly.

Spacious and clean Difficult to find. You have to go into the bar and ask for the key while patrons spill beer on you and step on your shoes. It seems they could install a lockbox to avoid this. I had no idea from the listing that I needed to drag my luggage into a crowded bar.

Great location! The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The drinks in the pub were fantastic. I will stay here again on my next trip! No A/C but honestly, it wasn't needed. They provided multiple fans, along with having windows open, my stay was more than comfortable!

Pleasant

Cosy, spacious attic. Lovely and surprisingly quiet accommodation Long flight of stairs, no 24 hrs reception

The location was perfect for a concert we were going to at the O2 academy ( 2 mins walk) and near lots of lovely restaurants to choose from for dinner. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. A very comfortable stay. Nothing

As our flight was delayed 16 hours, they were most helpful at accommodating our unusual check-in time. The room was clean and easy to access. The appliances worked perfect. Being located close to food (groceries and restaurants) and public transportation made our stay in London convenient. Perhaps I should have done a bit more research as to the unhoused situation. The poor individual fighting with drug-induced demons in the street below was a tad disruptive to our sleep. However, it is an urban area and completely beyond the apartment owner's control. We still felt safe and utilized white noise the following nights.

lovely quiet space, great location. the pub below was lively and good food

Comfy bed Very clean Had everything you need for a comfortable stay in a great location. Lots of space in the room

Passable

Clean, but not luxurious or interesting in any way. Twin beds for our couple night away, on wooden legs with a slidey floor. Inevitably the canyon between the two kept opening. £60 too expensive. Far better choices available at this price range.

Location, layout, cleanliness and shower is good. There were three flights of narrow steps to room, hard with bags. Black out blinds on the windows, but none on the skylight, so woken by sunlight as soon as sun was up. TV needed an update each of the three times, I turned it on - which I kindly did the first two times.

This room was booked short notice after a prior booking cancelled on us short notice. We were lucky to find the Alma quickly. The location on Chapel Market street is excellent. It is a 5 min walk to Angel Station, many shops, grocery stores, cafes and restaurants. The room was bigger than expected, very clean with the exeption of the shower tiles which needed a good scrubbing to get the mildew out. It has a seating area, good lighting, comfortable bed, and fully stocked kitchenette where one could cook all their meals (we choose to eat out). The key card was easily picked up at the bar counter at the pub downstairs. We were in room 5 on the 3rd floor and noise was not an issue at all. We would stay here again! The shower stall was clean enough, but I am a stickler for extra clean and I noticed the grout between the tiles had the red-pink scum on it (went away with a simple wipe of my fingers) so I know it could have easily been resolved with a good scrubbing and some "elbow grease". There was also black mildew in the caulking at the base of the shower, so that could be re-caulked. The only other annoying thing was the toilet needed 2-3 flushings to get the toilet paper down which I found rather wasteful. I think it is a combination of the toilet design, and the thick toilet paper that was stocked in the bathroom.

They were friendly, helpful, and the apartment was perfect and laid out great. It was a good location for the theatre we needed. It was tricky to get to but that was no fault of the venue.

Everything was perfect. Location, room, facilities, staff at check-in and check-out, cleanliness. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely use Alma Rooms as our base for all future London stays. Absolutely nothing
