“The stay has been good in general. I have two complains regarding the specific apartment that I got (apartment 18). There is no reception to make phone calls using my mobile phone (O2), there is a very bad Internet signal and reception. It would be great if you can improve that, otherwise it is impossible to work at home, for example. Another solution is to assign those poor connected apartments to people on holidays and assigned well connected apartments to professionals (like myself). Regards.”

Hi Laura, Thanks for your feedback. I have reviewed your account with us and can see that you did have an issue with the internet which was a fault with the BT configuration for the router. Unfortunately these faults do occur on occasion however I believe reconfiguring the router this was addressed. I am sorry that the O2 signal was not strong enough. We do have devices that can boost mobile phone signals in certain situations which may have resolved this issue when you were in house had we of known. Thanks again, Paul Baldwin, Operations Manager, Portland Brown

“We received a great service from all of you in Portland. We would only like to suggest to reinforce the windows of flat 3 , 9 Leonard Street, as there was a lot of noise in the street every night, most of it trash buses picking up the bins in front of our building. Another area of improvement are the lights. Even though it has a modern lighting system, the placement of the lights are quiet bad distributed. For example: the bathroom light close to the mirror was very poor and for shaving and make up it was very hard to complete the task correctly. Also in the bedroom, there is no light at all focusing the first closet. It was also hard to find the right things at night. Having said that, we really enjoyed the apartment and most of all your personalized service.”

Dear Ms Orozco, I would like to thank you for taking the time to submit a review for us. Our guests comfort is our top priority and I am pleased you were happy with our service. Thank you for your comments regarding the noise and the lights. Our Leonard Street apartments have double glazing all around, however I have asked our Property Maintenance department to investigate whether we can seal or as you said reinforce the windows in any way to minimise the noise further. I have also asked them to investigate the lighting within the apartment, in particular above the mirrors in the bathroom and the wardrobes/closets. Thanks again and we look forward to welcoming you back to Portland Brown in the near future. Kind regards, Paul Baldwin, Operations Manager, Portland Brown

“We stayed in three apartments, but most of the stay was 102 37 Cock Lane. Generally wife found the service personnel extremely willing and polite. The cleaning team was also very good. However, general maintenance was poor, the dishwasher virtually unusable, the sink leaked, the loo brushes broke, but instead of replacing they were 'Jerry' mended and broke again. The security system had to be dismantled in the middle of the night and the street door bell never worked and despite notification was never mended.”

“Apartment is great, service was great. Quick response to emails. Just one thing: The heating can't be switched off, from time to time it was ridiculously hot in the apartment, we had to use the aircon at the same time (which is crazy).”

Dear Sander, Thank you for taking the time to complete our guest satisfaction survey. First and foremost, I must sincerely apologise for the delay in getting back to you. We usually receive a notification when a new review is submitted. However, it did not seem to happen this time. I was glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us despite the heating issues. I am terribly sorry that we did not manage to rectify the underfloor heating, as expected. This seems to be due to the fact that it was more complex than we initially thought. I have reviewed this case and found out that when our Property Management team attended to the apartment they have isolated the bathroom underfloor heating and towel rail in order to reduce the room temperature. They did inspect the heating system and initially no issues were found. However, following your feedback we will now further investigate this to ensure it does not affect a future guest. We hope that we have the opportunity to welcome you back to Portland in the future! Kind Regards, Joana Sobral Guest Relations Executive

“I was very displeased at the level of accommodations and service. I was told I would be on 4th floor only to find I was relegated to the ground floor. There were homeless people begging every day and night of my two month stay. The tv and wifi were a mess, the heating rang like bells and the housekeeping woman screamed and yelled outside my door every morning at 7:30A. The ground floor apartment is not suitable for rent, it should be used as the room where the maids do their work in stead of taking over the lobby and screaming to each other.”

Dear Mr Marchant, I am pleased you enjoyed our apartment in Canary Wharf and that you found our customer service responsive. I can see that it took longer than usual to replace some bulbs during your stay and I apologise for this. I believe this may be due to sourcing these particular bulbs.

“I've stayed at several Portland Brown locations in London, and most recently, have had to extend my stay for over a month. I would not hesitate to stay at any Portland Brown location. The apartments are very well kept and comfortable. Everything is clean, the appliances all work well, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms very nice with lots of space, and the locations very accessible, and convenient, and quiet. Most of all I am blown away by the professionalism and kindness of all the Property Management teams and all levels of staff -- the reservationists, the business development managers and executives, account support assistants, guest relations, and even the lovely ladies who come in weekly to tidy up. You just _know_ that if there is anything not right, they will have it sorted straight away. And although there's nothing that hasn't been exactly right in all my stays, it's great to know that it wouldn't be a hassle if something did happen. When I arranged my most recent stay, Laura Bell was the Account Support Assistant who coordinated my arrival. At some point I must have mentioned that I would likely be working long hours. When I arrived to the flat, Laura had arranged for a fruit basket, some quite lovely flowers, and very nice gifts for a relaxing soak in the tub. It meant more to me that I can say. Well above and beyond. Kudos to a really, really lovely team. Every one of them. To say I would highly recommend any Portland Brown location to anyone would be a tremendous understatement.”
