Hausd - Leicester Square

Pros: Great central location in the heart of China Town (adjacent to Soho/ Piccadilly/ Leicester Square). Nice, light and spacious apartment with everything you need. Cons: Quite a few steps to get up and down (which might be an issue for some with heavy luggage). No air con and gets very hot if the weather is warm. Above China Town restaurants and so relatively loud constant kitchen extractor noise if you open the (double) windows. However overall the pros outweigh the cons for convenience and would stay again but avoid warmer months.

Great apartment and excellent location for visiting central London. Everything you could want is easily walkable or easy to reach by tube or bus. You just have to be fit and willing to tackle the stairs. We had the top floor and while the terrace/view/quiet of the apartment was great, it was 5 flights of very narrow stairs. Also no AC was challenging on a warm day, but leaving windows cracked at night was fine. If you're young and don't have much luggage it's perfect. Not recommended for older travelers.

Great location, comfortable beds, everything nice and clean. The rooftop deck was nice.

Great place, clean, fantastic skyline views, close to everything.The only down side is the five flights of stairs you need to navigate with luggage and at the end of a long day of exploring. We would stay again.

Positives Place was very clean, everything you would need for your stay was there. Negatives 6 flights of stairs to what they call the first floor - needs to be in their description. If you have large luggage or problems with stairs this location will not work for you. No air conditioning expected throughout Europe but this unit is in a very noisy late night location. You can’t open the windows to allow for the late night cool air, load late street noise. Even though the unit itself was great I could not recommend this unit, way too noisy. If you are a person that likes to stay up late and party this is the place for you.

In the middle of China Town so well situated if you want to explore the touristic site on foot. The smell can get you after a couple of days. NO AC - not for June-July-August-September

It would have been nice if there were a few basics already stocked on arrival. A couple of bottles of water, a pint of milk in the fridge, some bread, that kind of thing. That said, there’s an M&S literally around the corner, not to mention the location being in Chinatown so food shopping is not a problem. Just would have been very much appreciated after a day of travelling. The consumables supplied were pods for the coffee machine, teabags, washing up liquid and paper towels. The kitchenware and equipment supplied were all nice, clean and in good condition. The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable, towels were nice, showers worked well. There are quite a lot of stairs and no lift, but the listing warned about that. The door to the building wasn’t initially obvious. The welcome message said to look for the door with the butterflies in the window, but we arrived after it was dark and they were far from obvious. Thankfully the street is very short and there are only a couple of doors that aren’t businesses. Still, a photo of the door in the welcome email would have lubricated the process, when arriving on a very busy little street with a family, laden with luggage. An excellent property I would definitely use again.

Great location! Very clean and once the communication starts, they are very responsive. Unit 4 is on one of the top floors. If the hot water stops, simple hit the reset button on the heater in the closet in the back room. The washing machine is convenient but recommend the quick cycle. Plenty of coffee pods. Nice place.

Excellent apartment on the edge of China Town. Only drawback is the climb up the stairs with heavy bags

Great apartment in heart of Soho and Chinatown. The apt is spacious and clean, and all the normal "hotel" elements were great (e.g. towels, soap, etc.) Only thing to call out -- it's a third floor walk up w/o a lift/elevator, so for those that aren't interested in stairs -- this one could be a problem.

Perfect location to enjoy London! Spacious and clean.

The apartment was not so clean especially underneath the sofa and bed

The apartment was beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. It was very clean and very well maintained. We actually loved the place. The apartment is actually in china town and was very hard to find. We had no messages from the property to let us know the address or lock box information and it was very difficult for us to make contact using our Canadian cell phones. Most places in Europe we found used what’s app but this place did not. Luckily we had a very nice gentleman call the property on our behalf so we could figure out where it was and how to get in. Initially we thought we were scammed given the lack of communication even though we found out later that apparently they emailed us with the check-in information but we never received it. It was pretty stressful but once we were able to get in, we loved the space. This is the only reason for a 4 star.

The stay was really great! The location was right in the middle of everything so we could walk everywhere. We walked to shows, the cinema, and delicious food was right around the corner. Even a breakfast place that opened at 9 am with a full Chinese menu! The flat was just as described - very very clean!! Nice size bathroom, the kitchen was beautiful and new. We didn't use the wash machine but it was nice to have if we would have stayed longer. We made coffee in the flat and were able to keep leftovers in the fridge. There were nice big towels and a good size bed. The sitting area was spacious enough to work on my laptop while my husband was sleeping. I would stay here again for sure! I also asked a few questions by email that were answered promptly. Thanks!

This was a very spacious apartment with all the basic things you would need: kitchen stuff, toiletries, linens, etc. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and spacious. The kitchen very practical. I would absolutely recommend. The apartment is in china town making it a good starting point to many things in London. Good communication with the staff via email.

A few things were broken and not fixed (ceramic floor tiles, kitchen's fan, walls etc...). I askeda few months before for a bathtub and it seems like it was not possible because I got a shower. It would have been nice to be informed beforehand...I would have cancelled my booking. The flat was next to the firemen station, so the noise was high and constant. The cleaning needs to improve a lot! No communication whatsoever. Overall a pretty bad experience

Clean and comfortable, great kitchen, plenty of room, very nice showers. Absolutely loved the windows. Fun location by Chinatown with access through a courtyard. Convenient location to all things London. BUT you must be able to climb multiple landings of steps (with luggage at beginning and end of stay). Our family enjoyed this property so much that we extended our stay by a night. Digital communication was easy, access codes for apartment entry.

Inside the property was nice, however the apartment was dirty, the floor wasn’t hoovered or mopped which was pleasant. The property is located in the centre of China Town so we couldn’t even have the windows open due to the smell of the oily foods and there are loud vents right next to the bedroom which can keep you awake at night. Apart from that the area is great as there are a lot of restaurants and shops to explore.

This lovely apartment has been recently refurbished to a very good standard. The room(s) are spacious and clean. There’s a nice bathroom with a walk-in shower (could do with an extractor fan). The bed is comfortable and linen is spotless. Despite being in a busy part of town the place is quiet because it is behind buildings and entered across an internal courtyard. The instructions to get in are clear and easy to follow. There are stairs up to the apartment which could be a challenge for some. There are many restaurants around, which meant that we did see traps for rodents, but didn’t see any in the courtyard. It is definitely a place I would stay in again.

The apartment is in a great location … once I finally found it. It was clean and included everything that I needed for my two night stay.

Fantastic location, with a 24 hour M&S across the road. We had a top floor flat which was well proportioned and had all the amenities for a family. My only issue was ventilation. It was very very hot and floor fans just didn’t cut it. The living room was cool but the rooms unbearably hot. Also not ideal if you have mobility issues as it’s 5 flights of stairs to the top flat.

Beautiful apartment in a great location. A bit noisy and bright but perfect for our family.

Property itself was awesome. Plenty of room, very clean, great patio. Only issue we had was being from Texas, assumed that everyone had AC! IT was one of the hottest weeks for London, and the flat we had was on the top floor - where all the heat is. Thankfully the patio door opens quite wide, but windows open at night in Picadilly/China town means lots of noise! The location is the best - West End, China Town, Picadilly - every site you want to see is walkable. Safe area

Internet a bit slow and intermittent at times but ok. Kitchen well equipped and bed very comfortable and big (superking which you don’t always find in London) Housekeeping responsive and close to site so when we had an issue with a window and some lights there was someone there to try to resolve it. Will stay again if we need to be close to the theatre as it’s a perfect location for this.

Very nice place. Well equipped. Great location. Very quiet and comfortable.

Property was as advertised and had good amenities, kitchen, washer, etc. Great location in the heart of SoHo and nightlife. However was noisy late into the night.

Location is perfect, easy access to everything on foot and 4 minute walk to station. Spacious, clean and comfortable. A plethora of restaurants and shops nearby. Kitchen has everything needed. Check-in instructions were clear, we got in late at night and it was a breeze. Check out was just as easy.

Love the location. Love the apartment. We really appreciated the communication and instructions regarding check-in. They were also able to have the apartment ready a couple of hours early per our request.

Reviewing 5 stars because we have no real complaints, but we’re also not too picky. Very spacious and great value for London. Clean apartment but a little worn. Great communication from host. Very busy street, right in the middle of Chinatown next to a Chinese restaurant. Yes there’s like 70 steps up, so keep that in mind, but not a huge deal. Yes noisy at night especially on Friday Saturday night, but if you close the living room door it’s not bad. All in all good experience, would stay again.

Property itself was great but dealing with the management Hausd was awful. I sent many emails that they ignored. I called them several times and they said they would call me back and never did. Horrible managing of this property.

For what I paid I didn’t feel that it was worth this property. There is no elevator so you have to be prepared to schlep your luggages up 89 steps!! And we were four women so that was incredibly exhausting. They only provided one set of towels for each person so we used the same wet towel for four days. There is a laundry machine, but it is incredibly slow and we were able to do two loads in four days, considering we weren’t always home. I put my Louis Vuitton bag on the top of the closet shelf and the handle was all dust when I took it back down. The coffee machine was broken and some days it worked and some days it didn’t. Lastly, it’s important to know that if you have a later flight, there’s actually nowhere to put your luggage so you lose a day of activities. There is an option to put them in a storage place not too far away, but it is expensive and not worth it. I tried contacting them to see if we can just stay an extra two hours so that we have a place for our luggage before we go to the airport and it took her two days to respond of which she said she never got my messages which I used the same form of communication the entire time. If it’s a problem, you should always have a back up communication option. What if I was having an emergency? Even when I called the emergency line, they said that they reached out to her and I had to call back to say I have not yet heard from her. That’s how I finally connected with her.Overall, we were all disappointed with this place.

I searched SO many rentals that would put us in the middle of everything!I came across this one and couldn’t believe the price difference!This place was so nice!From start to finish Ana was so easy to deal with!We needed some extra towels/such and it delivered to our door.She helped us in every way. We stored our bags using Stasher the morning we arrived & it was right around the corner and then went site seeing.The place is so clean, well decorated & the bed was the best bed we have ever stayed at! I am hoping they can give us the brand of the mattress!Having a washer and dryer was huge! It is in the heart of China Town but 5-7 minutes to Convent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Broadway Shows, and Leincaster Square.It is about a 20 minute walk to Big Ben, London Eye & Buckingham Palace. The bus stop is10 steps away &about a 3 minute walk to the tube.The only thing I would share take precaution in China Town. There are signs all over that there are pick pickpocketers. If you travel aboard, even to Paris and Rome they are bad there too. We were always on alert and never had a problem. However, two mornings we had to leave early (before 7:00) to catch a cab for some tours. Both times were were noticed & followed because it was ghost town and no one was around that early.We learned from this and called an Uber and waited inside the entrance door until they arrived. I would never share it is unsafe at all, however notice your surroundings!Book this place! You will LOVE IT!

The instruction to open the door never received it. We have to call two or three times to received it … No lift… 3rd floor with the bags. Property very nice.. good and clean.

The place was beautiful walkable to many restaurants and neighborhoods! Entry to location was a little confusing to find but other than that we really enjoyed our stay!

The apartment was excellent, clean, comfortable (with fans for when it’s warm) and in a very convenient location right in the heart of Chinatown and close to Leicester Square. The only drawback which has nothing to do with the apartment is the bustle of the street and sirens can be heard throughout the night (so bring earplugs).

Fantastic spot in Chinatown. Busy area, lots to see and do nearby. The apartment was lovely and perfect for us. Thank you.

I would stay here for years to come if it was an option, best location ever

Property was as advertised and had good amenities, kitchen, washer, etc. Great location in the heart of SoHo and nightlife. However was noisy late into the night.

This was a nice apartment, not a typical hotel. Communication for entry was excellent. Located on edge of Cinatown, with West End theaters in every direction. Right in the heart of everything. Tucked away in a quiet courtyard with a great kitchen. Loved the convenience and the location.

Excellent accommodation in great location. Instructions made it easy to find.
