We arrived quite late at Marlin Apartments Empire square and could not figure out where the reception area was. We checked in and the staff was always friendly and helpful. Overall, we really had a great stay. The apartment was clean and everything was in working order. The location is perfect if you are doing sight seeing. There is a... More

The apartment was very spacious and clean (except for the windows).The kitchen was very well equiped. The location was super nearby the Borough underground station and a 10 minutes walk to London Bridge. The staff was very friendly. The little problem with the reserved parking place was easily solved.

I stayed at Marlin-Empire Square for 4 months in late 2012 along with my wife and toddler. I cannot imagine how this could have been any better! Marlin is well located minutes from the Borough underground station. The Borough market, London Bridge station, Tower bridge, Dungeons, etc are all very close by. The apartments themselves are DELIGHTFUL. I had a... More

We stayed for five nights in a one bedroom apartment on the fifth floor overlooking the central courtyard/gardens. The apartment was clean, the bed comfortable and all the facilities were working as intended. It was well away from the lifts so we were not bothered by noise from the lifts as other reviewers had mentioned. The staff at reception were... More

I just returned from two and a half weeks in London on business mixed with time with friends and family. Since I was there for so long, I stayed in the Marlin Apartments rather than my usual hotel, and was overwhelming pleased with the choice. I had a spacious and lovely one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen, bedroom, living room and... More

We recently stayed in these apartments when we came to London for a long weekend. We walked the short distance from the tube station to the apartment. A very desirable place to stay, everything you could need in the kitchen area to cook a full meal which we did, along with a dishwasher/washing machine and microwave. The only problem we... More

Stayed here for one night, would be late arrival and early departure so not really a chance to get the best out of it. Rooms are superb, well fitted and spacious. Having separate lounge/diner/kitchen is great, especially if staying a few days or with kids/friends. Downside of course is self catering, so no chance for breakfast or anything....though plenty of... More

rooms are spacious , well equipped and,very clean. this hotel is highly recomendable. the hotel is well-situated because there is a subway station very close there is a supermarket just below the hotel very useful

I stayed here for one night with a friend, and it was perfect. Close to the tube station so that was handy the next morning, and the cabbie found it okay when we explained it was "the new development in Empire Square". The £200 deposit was a shock to us as well, but thanks to online banking it all worked... More
