Great location. Felt the most safe I have ever felt in London. Rooms were lovely. Air con is definitely needed in Summer months or at least a fan. There is a small heater which can provide some cooler air but wasn't great. Due to penthouse having communal wrap around balcony couldn't open doors to let heat in at night as neighbours were on balcony. Overall... great room, great price, great location, staff were lovely and attentive, great communication via whatsapp..very chilled approach. Definitely would recommend and re-book

This place is a 10/10! The reception was super lovely, everything in London was roughly 20-40 minutes away which was fine. It’s super close to Clapham junction station and good walking distance to nearby shops for food etc. The room itself was super spacious and clean, I loved the fact that the bed moved up for the table. The extra rooms like the games room, cinema room and sky lounge were all super clean and nice to be in! Would recommend this for anyone

We stayed at this hotel for three days and had a very pleasant experience. The rooms and the interior of the hotel were beautiful, clean, and well designed. The surroundings were very peaceful, which made our stay even more relaxing. One of the biggest advantages was its proximity to a train station, making it very easy and convenient to reach the city center. The staff were extremely friendly, polite, and always willing to help in every situation. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. If we ever visit London again, we will definitely stay here.

I stay here a week. The place is clean. The room was small, and it was expected. The area is quiet I give 4 star has there is no breakfast facilities in the building. I wouldn’t have mind to pay extra for breakfast.

I stayed at the Haydon for 4 nights for business/leisure. It's not a typical hotel but I enjoyed my stay. My room was clean and I felt comfortable. You can feel the springs in the mattress but it was actually fine in the end. I would have liked a shelf in the shower to put my products rather than on the floor but that's my only critique. The location was great and close to my office in Waterloo. I felt safe walking alone at night. A special shout-out to Simone from South Africa who checked me in. She was really friendly and welcoming.

This is a very nice apartment hotel. The rooms are functionally designed and have a comfortable space. The neighborhood is quiet and has good transportation access. There are supermarkets and nice restaurants nearby. I would like to stay here again on my next trip.

Finding this place MADE my trip to London. I can't say enough good things about this building, the people, and the sense of feeling at home I felt while staying. First, the units are brand spanking new and every finish/detail is top notch. I loved coming home to my place at the end of a long day. Ok, the common areas, such a bonus. I work remote and having the 360 rooftop views of all of London while I work just truly is a vibe. The movie theater, gym and downstairs lounge areas/kitchen are just fab as well. I made SO many friends here that I will keep in touch with by having those types of spaces to hang. Last but absolutely not least, the staff here are truly kind and loving people. Coming home and being greeted by them was a highlight of the day. One girl in particular went above and beyond to help with anything that popped up. Jerusa, my love you are the heart and vibe of this building. I can't thank you enough for being the friend I needed during my stay! Nestor is lucky to have you and the other staff! I can't wait to stay when I'm back in May! :)

Had an amazing experience at the Haydon! Stayed for 28 days for work purposes. Location was excellent, immediate access to bars, restaurants, cafes and gyms. The room was modern, shower was great and bed was comfy. The staff are extremely friendly and make you feel at home (they know everyone by name). Raphael was great also and was very honest about what to expect. Facilities were amazing with the rooftop fire pit, cinema and games room. Gutted they don't have more branches across the UK as this would be my preferred place to stay :)
