庫烏客房公寓(Kew Studios and Rooms)

I can’t get my deposit back.

It was very convenient for my purpose in the area of going to the nearby cemetery to visit. The Richmond area is also known to me and it is very pleasant to stay in that area near the river Thames and visit historical places. The bus stop was outside the property and Kew Gardens underground very near. There was a good selection of restaurants, coffee places and shops by Kew Gardens Station and also in Sandycombe Road where the property is situated. The negative side was that the underground trains travel at the back of the studio where I was staying. It disturbed my sleep the first night but not the second as my brain obviously had become accustomed to the background noise. I would stay again here. The host was polite and welcoming and so was the cleaner.

After reading all the reviews, I knew what I was letting myself in for, we had room 3 very tight but clean only one pillow each, bed very spongy, husband turned over I fell out, shower worked well once hubby sorted the taps out! Tea and coffee plenty of and biscuits, two towels, issue with key on entering property, tilt up then open, never saw owner first nor last! Not sure about breakfast as no one to ask, well I could have when we couldn’t get in at 10.30pm, but we left at 8,00am, you can hear the other guest, especially if there is silly giggling girl like we had in room 5, fantastic area for Kew Gardens parking didn’t seem to bad but we parked in Sainsburys under horizon app! £9, would I stay again probably not, but it served its purpose, tired and basic but bedroom/bedding clean!

This place has some wonderful aspects. The first is that you will never have to wonder if you have missed your underground train. That's because it isn't underground and is actually running about 20 yards behind your back window! That means you never have to worry if you have missed it because you will be able to see it and hear it! This will continue up till 2:30 at night when you can happily say," I didn't want to be on that train anyway!" And if you are the person with, do it yourself capacity, you will be intrigued by the numerous possibilities of improvements in the room. You can be happily employed thinking about how you could actually fix the bathroom door so that it actually stays shut! Or how to repair the broken flooring that has been covered up cleverly by an armchair? So that's the good stuff. They not so good stuff is that the room is very small so that it's hard to be in the room with an open suitcase anywhere except on the bed. That of course makes sleeping difficult! Also, the people who rent the room say that it is set up for self-catering. However, there are only two saucepans and absolutely no kitchen utensils. That means that if you actually want to cut something you have to bring your own knife or use one of the butter knives that is duller than Queen Camellia. This place is absolutely not worth it. The money and should be avoided at all costs unless rain prevents you from sleeping on the park bench.

Received a phone call 20 hours before check in to tell me my room was unavailable. I booked and in full in October 2022 ready for my trip. They have not refunded my money. A complaint has resolved nothing. I am disabled and travelling alone. Disgusting.

My husband stayed here with friends for a concert nearby. He said the room was clean but much smaller than it looked on the pictures. It was basic but they were only there one night so fine for their needs.

Comfortable modern and clean. Very convenient for our daughter’s house nearby. Full Self catering equipment including dishwasher. As it was weekend parking was easy as residential permits only Monday to Friday. Outside it looks like a work in progress but our room was good. Warm duvet and plenty of hot water. We will probably book again as our daughter does not have a spare room

Geoffrey went above & beyond in Accommodating us, even moving his own car to free up an on site parking space. Our room was good overall, clean & functional, I’d recommend Kew Rooms - certainly for the price, we will return 👍

I liked that outside the property there are a couple of restaurants. I didn’t like that the room is too small, particularly the restroom. Also I didn’t like that the room and the restroom weren’t sparkling clean.
