Thanks House of Kip for an enjoyable stay.
A little unfortunate that the check in process didn’t go smoothly - there was a mix up with the keys which made us wait around at the shop for a resolution for about 15min (with a taxi meter running), and then the baby cot needed to be delivered later which meant we needed to stay in our first evening waiting around.
Place is very central which is great. Bedroom is somewhat noise cancelling with double windows, but rest of the flat isn’t. Bathroom looks into offices across the way (so careful when using the toilet). Can get loud but expected in Leicester Square.
Fireplaces don’t operate and central heating is hit and miss. Also intercom didn’t work, just be mindful if your ordering food in that you’ll need to wait downstairs.
Flat is relatively clean. A little tired but nice for an old London apartment building.
There’s a nice rooftop (if you’re keen for the extra fifth flight of stairs). The gesture of a discount at the Italian restaurant downstairs was a nice touch (although the seedy hosts and bad online reviews deterred us - obviously nothing HoK could do to help this!).
