  Disappointing.

  Location.

  Some members of the staff were neither approachable nor friendly. Before my arrival, I was told that I would be able to use an iron provided by the property. However, when I asked for an iron on several occasions, it became an issue, and the staff eventually suggested that it would be best for me to buy my own. I find it strange that each room is not equipped with an iron, considering that the property is intended for long-term stays. I also had to purchase my own drying rack for laundry. Three days before the end of my stay, the internet stopped working. When I reported the issue, resolving it also proved to be a problem, and I had to insist several times before it was finally addressed. At the end of my stay, when I requested an invoice, I was told that I could only receive it by email after checking out. However, the invoice I received incorrectly split my stay into separate periods, even though I had booked the entire month as one continuous stay, without any interruptions. I contacted the property twice by email requesting a corrected invoice, as I need it for grant-related purposes, but I never received a response. Overall, the experience was quite disappointing. The one positive aspect of the property is its location.

  Pretty much everything.

  Can't think of anything other than the adjacent church being a bit noisy on Sunday mornings

  Stay here if you want quick access to London's sights and are self-sufficient.

  I stayed at The Quarters - Swiss Cottage for 34 nights in May/June of 2026. With the exorbitant 20% VAT, my cost was $143/night. I was looking for a larger accommodation at an affordable price in London rather than a tiny, expensive hotel room in the heart of the city. The Quarters serviced apartments were just about right. The rooms were large and comfortable. I was assigned room A104. Beds were comfortable, A/C worked well, TV had plenty of channels, lots of storage, there is a small kitchen, there is a very nice gym in the basement and a small laundry area with 2 washers and 2 dryers. The Finchley Road subway station is right across the street and offers access to the Jubilee Line. This was so convenient! Rode the subway every day and saw all the sights of London. The large Waitrose grocery store is right across the street where you can buy everything you need. In spite of its flaws, I would stay here again.

  Some things to be aware of if you stay at The Quarters - Swiss Cottage (especially long stays). These is not a hotel. Housekeeping comes by just once a week. You will have to empty your own trash. You will probably need to buy your own toilet paper, Kleenex, trash bags, paper towels, soap and shampoo (I did). You will hear/feel the rumbling of subway trains every few minutes (I got used to this after a while). If your apartment faces Finchley Road, you will hear street noise. If your apartment faces the inner courtyard, you will hear noise from the Yamatora sushi restaurant (especially if they open the roof). They usually quieted down around 10pm. Be advised, you do not want an apartment next to the smelly garbage room or the noisy, slamming doors of the laundry room.
