Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Marlin Apartments London Bridge - Empire Square is frequently praised for its spacious and well-equipped apartments, many highlighting the convenience of having a functional kitchen complete with a dishwasher. Its location is a major draw, with Borough station and a Tesco Express right next door, making it easy to get around and stock up on essentials. While most find the apartments comfortable, a few guests have mentioned that the ventilation could be improved, with limited window openings. Many guests appreciate being within walking distance of attractions, and for some, the views add an unexpected bonus.

acceptable location, some issues encountered

nearby train stationuncomfortable mattressinadequate furniture
the location is acceptable with the train station nearby.
The mattress proved uncomfortable. I did not sleep well. there was a noticeable absence of adequate furniture in the main sitting area. only one sofa was available for a family of four, requiring us to use dining chairs for relaxation, not ideal.

functional kitchenclose proximity
The apartment had a functional kitchen. It included necessary items like a microwave and a dishwasher. A tesco express sat very close to the building. That helped a LOT. I found the proximity to public transportation very helpful. The borough underground station was quite close.
the apartment i stayed in lacked air conditioning, ONE pedestal fan was there.
