Here for Spring Break with my parents in 2001. While they term themselves apartments, the booking…read moreprocess and guest experience is about as close to a hotel as one will get. The aspect of apartment is in the size of the accommodations. From what I remember from way back when, our room was comfy, and we were able to move around without bumping into one another, as is the problem with some European hotels that don't cost a king's ransom. Speed up almost 15 years later and 130 has had a beautiful face lift. Furnishings all around are new and the place feels fresh, but still holds onto its British flair. Came here to celebrate a friends 30th and we wanted something relaxing, close to as much as everything as possible and in a safe location - which 130 is! It's still pricey, but for London, we received a lot for a good price. It was nice being back to a place I enjoyed as a kid, only to find it better!

Presidential Marylebone Apartments are in the heart of London and we stay here whenever we need a shopping fix at Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Covent Garden. Nightout and theatre night plans are always so successful staying here as it is so close to Soho, Central London, and the River Thames. The apartments are beautiful and spacious, no matter which one you choose, studio or one-bedroom. All the facilities are on your disposal - full kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, etc., fast inetrnet, TV with Sky and freeview. Also there are DVD players and DVD to borrow if you are tired of roaming in London and want a nice night-in with friends. The staff is great and knows how to treat their returning guests and go beyond rules and comfort to give them the best possible stay. It is a perfect location and place to stay in London! I do not think twice before recommending this to anyone!

Worst VRBO in 15 years. Property is serious disrepair. Filthy with terrible mattress.

We recently stayed at one of the Ivy Letting properties in London. The key was several blocks away…read moreand we had a lot of luggage. This was not convenient. The beds were the cheapest beds I have ever had anywhere....and I travel a lot for both business and personal. I could feel and trace the springs with my finger. The sheets were cheap too and made all of us sweaty and we couldn't adjust the temperature. I had to sleep on the couch every night to get any sleep so I could get any sleep. There is no personal touches such as local recommendations. Also, read the fine print before signing. They would not allow us to cancel 1 week after booking without charging 50% and this was 5 months in advance of the stay. They are a strict and impersonal company. We will not be using this company ever again.

There are 6-7 staff loitering around the front desk but when you ask for help they say they cant help carry anything to the rooms, and that you only get a change of linen and towels very 6 days! Most hotels service room very day or two days so this is quite ridiculous. Very few of the personnel at the front desk seem to speak English and most seem to AVOID helping you. I had one package there for a day and no one could seem to find it of the 6 staff behind the desk. When I asked for new linen and towels after 4 days I was a charged over 50 BPS! This place is a ripoff. Even after leaving was never really sure what all the people behind the front desk actually DID. Lol.

First…read moreof all they are not registered with ABTA so if there are any problems, you will struggle to receive any financial reward. You also have to book flights separately, therefore it's not classed as a package holiday. The location of the villa was incorrect on their website and you could not walk to any shops/bars as stated in their description of the property. This was acknowledged by them after I made a complain on our return. We ordered a take away one night and even the delivery driver couldn't find it and the local rep had to provide directions. The villa was quite close to next door which had been rented out to a man who was arriving a couple of days after his children who came over and warned us they were having a party. The noise was horrendous. We did put in a complaint to the local rep who asked us to phone her if there was any further noise. We didn't as would she of really come out at 3am in the morning - I doubt it. Olivers Travels are quite crafty and they only introduce you to the property owners, therefore devolving them of all responsibility. They did suggest giving us one nights accommodation back (£317) but this was declined by the villa owners. Due to my negative experience with Oliver Travels, I would never book with them again and i suggest you take heed before deciding to book through them. This particular villa is also advertised on other websites so I should of checked other sites first (although the villa is called by different names)!
