So Park Apartments

Book it early enough to get the best discounts. Though this is only a few years old with contemporary styled rooms it looks a little tired in places now sadly. Still very comfortable, despite the overheated corridors!

So Park is set up for extended stay guests, so the rooms have fully functional, fully furnished kitchenettes. The rooms themselves are very large with nice furniture, but utterly bland. There wasn’t a single picture or decoration anywhere in the room. The lobby and hallways could use new carpeting. The price was excellent and it’s a block from Battersea Park.

I stay here often when on business in London as its very convenient and one can often find free parking on the street outside, rare anywhere near the centre. The rooms are looking tired and could really do with a refurb, or at least a little attention. Often a lamp won't work or there's a wonky chair leg, just feel there's not much attention to detail once you're there. But the rooms are large and comfortabe, as are the beds.

The apartment was a good size with plenty of space but unfortunately the thermosat in our room didn't appear to be working as the room was boiling. The thermastat registered 28.5 degrees. We complained to the front desk who informed us that the airconditioning would kick in in a few minutes but it didn't. Thankfully there was a fan but it was an uncomfortable night. The room also had no overhead light so was quite dark and only one bedside light. It was however clean with a good sized bathroom.

Room quite large. Unfortunately it is very dusty and the airconditioner needs its filter cleaned. Bed comfortable in itself but also very dusty (you can smell and feel the dust). Not conducive to a restful nights sleep. Would not recommend to anyone who suffers dust allergies as I do. Unfortunately there is no refund on cancellation otherwise I would find somewhere cleaner to stay for the rest of my time. Not impressed.

The room was very clean, the bathroom tiles were heated, due to the cold weather, it was great to be in a warm room. Very relaxing and peaceful room with a lovely view. Would stay there again in the future.

Cons: Rooms could do with a big clean-some staining on the carpets and walls Room was small (but size was accurately described on website). No table and chairs to eat food Kitchen facilities are basic (no grill/oven). Pros: Room was very quiet Staff very friendly and helpful Close to Battersea Park Good air con

Very hot room; had to use fans Smells- perhaps from cooking of neighbours? Very dark -could not get main lighting Somewhat soul-less

We’ve used so parks for the last 3 years over the August bank holiday weekend as we attend the south west four festival. Ideal for walking to and from the event but sadly the accommodation seems to be getting worse each year. The room had bits of the wall missing in the bathroom, it wasn’t clean, the sink and shower did not drain properly so we had to keep turning the shower off every few minutes otherwise it would have flooded the bathroom. The staff were not very friendly on arrival and seemed put out by our early check in which was requested on booking and confirmed with follow up emails, The whole place really just needs a make over to freshen it up, it’s a shame as it’s perfect for getting to and from the festival safely

We stayed here last year and it was fine, so we were happy to return recently, but this time the air-conditioning in our room was displaying an error message and didn't work properly. It was far too hot, and I mean REALLY HOT. The room averaged 30 degrees Celsius, day and night, windows open or windows shut. The bathroom was even hotter. And on the landing, you were hit by yet hotter air - no thermometer there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was touching 40 degrees. We couldn't sleep properly. I reported the fault several times, to be told that an "engineer" had been called, but strangely no-one ever came. We were given a fan, which helped a little. We asked for another room, but the hotel was seemingly always full, except for our last day when it was impractical to move. Internet reviews suggest this has been an issue for quite some time - shame on the hotel management who are still happy to cynically let the rooms. We'll not stay there again.

This is the second time we are staying at So Park apartments. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location wise it's close to our son's flat which is ideal for us. Room is spacious and very clean. We will definitely stay at SO Park again. Thank you to all staff at So Park for making our stay a pleasant one.

No frills, but good quality accomodation. I had a huge bathroom, and underfloor heating was a treat. Perhaps lacking attention to the finer details - for example, the toaster didn't stay on without putting something on top of the button, and the walk in shower leaked water toward the light fitting(!! There was a different showerhead available so this wasn't a problem) - however, a great location, very comfortable bed, very clean and great space to stay in.

Not the first time at So Park. It seems the standards have gone down a bit, like leaving the towels you usually put on your feet when you go shower as face towels, but still great spacious clean rooms.

Provided the best option for a family with elder children to share this service apt with easy bus access to Central London Staff very helpful , some attention to plumbing and lighting required but will definitely stay again

Very enjoyable stay. Very clean and great value for money. The kitchenette was extremely handy for breakfast. The room was very comfortable. Very accessible to city from train after 10 min walk. Would recommend!

It was a great value for money hotel. There was nothing wrong during our 5day staying but there was nothing special too. I would recommend it for sure as it is clean, the rooms are big enough, and the location is great and the buses run right at the front of the hotel. They could improve a few things like renew the amenities when finished. WiFi was very good. We will get back!

We have stayed twice at the So Park Apartments. The first time, we really liked the hotel and service. Unfortunately, a mistake was made with our booking. There were also a few other smaller issues. However, we received exceptional service from David at the reception, who personally did everything possible to resolve issues and provide the best possible service. We were very impressed by this even though disappointed by the situation. The hotel management and other staff we dealt with did everything they could to make the situation better and we were satisfied with how they dealt with it. The second time we stayed, everything was great and trouble-free. Everything about the hotel is modern, stylish, and of a high standard. The rooms are large, comfortable, and have many facilities. No food is available, as it is entirely self-catering, but the rooms feature built-in kitchens with microwave, toaster, hobs, sink, refrigerator, and all items required for serving and eating food. The ensuite bathrooms are also very nice indeed, displaying a high level of style and quality. All staff were professional and courteous, whilst David stood out for his flawless service and great friendliness. Nothing was too much trouble for him in personally dealing with our issues and requests, so this made our stays very special. For us without a car, the location of the hotel in the Battersea area was not convenient for central London. Buses to Victoria Station frequently depart from outside the hotel (arriving back, the stop is Battersea Library, some distance before the hotel). However, it would be a lot more convenient if it were near an Underground Station to avoid the need to use both bus and Underground train for most places (slower and more costly). Battersea Park seems to be the only tourist feature nearby. We love the hotel and would really enjoy staying here again. Very highly recommended!

Spent two nights @ So Park Hotel. The hotel is comfortable, the staff was very friendly. can't really complaint with this value. The room was clean with a tiny kitchen in the room. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The first impression was very good. The room was very spacious, clean and tidy. One of the main reasons i chose the hotel was because of the car park. But the set up for the car park was a little awkward. I needed a member of the reception staff to take me to my car and open the gate each time i wanted to use my car. I would use the hotel again, but i think it would be better if the car park situation was reviewed.

So I have stayed at the so park apartments before and booked a basic room. This time I decided to book a suite thinking it would be more luxury however the only difference was that the sofa bed had just been pulled out.... completed waste of extra money!
