MiNC Apartments - Lombard Lane

very central.easy access to all major ntourist attractions.lovely and quiet.would book again in preference to hotel.

Stayed on top floor. There was no lift working - long way to carry a suitcase up 3 flight of stairs. Appt was down a quiet back street but there is some kind of fan on permanently on the top floor which even with ear plugs i couldnt block out. The mattress was very cheap - springs actually dig into you if you sleep on your side. The rooms themsleves are fantasticly designed and there is plenty of space but unfortunately when your paying this kind of money you have to get the basics right ie comfortable uninterupted nights sleep with working lifts. I stayed at Cock Lane too at the same MinC chain and that was better than Lombard Lane. In addition when i left in the morning i could not actually get out of the building as there were sheets piled high with lots of spanish cleaners blocking the way talking making no effort to get out of people's way! Not great overall.

Confirmation of booking received, then location changed to Cock Lane, with advise that everything that was booked was the same except for the location. However, upon receipt of new info, it was discovered that the accommodation was for only 1 bedroom instead of 2, which was not acceptable as we were a party of 4. Many phone calls/texts on the day of stay, eventually reinstated us back to Lombard Lane, but with two double beds instead of twin beds.
Overall, the apartment was very nice, it was just all the aggravation with the changes/entry numbers etc.
Suggestion:- It should be stated as to what to do with the keys upon departure, apart from a sign in the mail room stating "do not put keys in mailbox".

In an ideal location close to The Strand and Covent Garden. Bus stop into the city less than 1 minute walk away, nearest tube station 5 minutes walk. Apartment has everything you could possibly want including microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, washing machine, oven and electric hob. There is also a hifi, dvd player and satellite TV. The 2 bedroom apartment has 1 ensuite bathroom with shower and the other with a bath. All apartments are non-smoking.
