Lodge Drive Serviced Apartments

The property itself was very spacious and was very comfortable. A secure car parking facility is a bonus. Palmers Green station is a couple of minutes walk and, as my stay in London was for a conference in Woolwich, it was and easy 1 hour journey on the Great Northern and Elizabeth lines. The property has self-catering facilities but, as we were busy with the event, there are plenty of places to eat including our favourite - Gail’s Bakery who do delicious breakfast and snack options.

The only disappointment was not having pillow cases or towels put out for us but it turned out they were inside the sofa which lifted up!

Very clean and warm ,

All was great

The apartment was great, it was near a train station and bus stop and it’s right next to a Macdonald if you want to eat something quick.

The only thing that I missed was a nightstand lamp overall everything was great

The apartments were in a great location for shops, restaurants & public transport. It was a bright spacious apartment & it was lovely to have a balcony. There was a smart tv so we could use our streaming services. It was a quiet enough area even though we were close to the road it wasn’t too loud.

In general the apartment was a bit shabby & could do with a facelift. The couch was pretty worn. There were no pillows or blankets to make it any way homely or comfortable. The fridge/freezer was hard to close as it clearly needs defrosting. The extractor fan filter fell off (which was later fixed). The bathroom was roasting & quite mouldy on the shower & the towel rails. The en suite shower door wasn’t working very well. The kitchen bin is tiny so our rubbish built up quite quickly and we had to bag it up separately. A recycling bin would also be welcomed. The blinds in the living area are falling apart and some of the poles fell out while we were trying to open and close them. The apartment is advertised as including toiletries - I would expect this to include hand soap and shower gel. Neither were included so we had to go out and buy some. There wasn’t enough toilet roll for the weekend either so we had to purchase more. I would also expect tea and coffee to be included as a basic offering but it was not. We were travelling during the heat wave this summer so I had requested fans in advance of our arrival as I knew we were arriving late in the night. It was confirmed there were a few available & would be there for us. The fans were not present & we had quite an uncomfortable sleep in the night. I had to contact lawrence again the next day to request some & he later dropped them off. He then ended up coming back to take one of them off us, as it apparently belonged to someone else but he claimed he would come back with another one. He never came back, so we only had one fan for one of the bedrooms to sleep with that night & the other bedroom had to go without. There was no bath mat in the shower/bath in main bathroom and I slipped & bruised my knee really badly off the side of the bath when getting out. This is clearly a safety hazard.
