Worst. Experience. Of. My. Life. I have been writing too much about my experience with City Rooms, so I like to keep it short as a WARNING for everyone that is looking for a room in London. - Don't. Use. It. The rooms advertised are fake. We found a nice room in Shoreditch on Spareroom. Got in contact, been invited to 'the office', asked if the office was nearby the address - no response. Turned out this is a way to get people in. Guess what? Non of these rooms were available. - We were in a rush, and new to London. Had to pay upfront for a viewing. We did, and that was the worst decision ever - House in horrible condition. 24/7 line never worked (got text messages from the line being close as evidence), bills not included, no background check with tenants. - Lived with a dangerous tenant, turned out he was illegal. He paid the rent, so guess that is enough to city rooms. Didn't work. Smoked in the room - no warning given, nothing. - We experienced no warm water, no water, no internet, incredible leaking, mice, bad cleaners, bad locks, bad state of room. For 1200£ a month!!! - NO customer support, the worst experience with other tenants, filthy, dangerous, CRIMINALS they put into these houses. They simply don't care! - we have so many emails, whatsapp conversations as proof that this agency is one big scam - Big tip: Cityrooms got recently fined for 10K - this can be checked under the Mayor of London Assembly. Check 'Oliver Walton Limited' this is the official name behind Cityrooms. (Proof on bank account as this is the name we transferred rent to) Oh, and check the 2015 stories about 'The City Rooms - were they got fined. Makes total sense. - One big maffia gang and surprised that they are still operating. They should be illegal. Why is is that such corporations are still aloud to do business after all? All these fake 5* reviews - lived with a roommate that literally left the house because she felt that her safety was in danger. Why is there such little support towards tenants in London? Why is it that we pay so much money - and get this back? We just want a nice place to live, do our work, our studies - and then we meet an agency such as City Rooms. I regret every step, and surprised that I have never did thorough research. I guess that I have never heard about City Rooms until I was confronted with the sales woman selling lots of ****. I'm currently renting from a private landlord. A beautiful house, honest man and great price in a fantastic area. City Rooms is like a valuable lesson for life that teaches you to be critical when moving abroad. You. I hope you are reading this before you put your £250 deposit down with them. Run away from them, if you can. And, if you put your deposit down - don't continue. See it as an 'expensive' lesson, but it will be always cheaper than to continue with City Rooms. There is much better out there, and I wish someone else told me this before. These guys are criminals. Everything is on police record with them - because this story is worse than I'm currently writing. I have never experienced such incompetent company, bunch of unprofessional poor people together. Hungry for money - and that's it. The houses are the worst. Been in two of them. There should be a law against such corporations/agencies. No one deserves this. Not even your worst enemy. Do NOT rent with City Rooms.

May 19, 2020I absolutely agree with this 100% because this agency is an absolute fraud , who ask for payments before hand , target internationals moving to London and even students. Had to change accommodations twice with them because they allowed a abusive man to live in our flat and don’t care at all about the tenants. The houses are absolutely horrible , old , mouldy furniture with no proper common areas. The manager Giovanni and the agent I dealt with Fabio were only concerned with getting money out of a young student who’s barely of age. Shame on them

May 20, 2020@ Aiman - I am shocked to hear this since I have lived with an abusive tenant as well. They simply didn’t care and Giovanni - well let’s not start with him. How is even eligible to work? I am sure that all managers at City Rooms have a criminal background, because things went really far in here. Due to the current situation, it is hard to get any help, luckily I’m having a lawyer in my family who helps me with this case. Renting from CR has not only led to financial inconveniences, it also had a mental impact - to the point or trauma - on me. I am incredibly happy to see that they got this 10K fine - as they deserve to go bankrupt. Reading all the comments from Gio and Sanchez in here purely shows the true face of City Rooms. Bunch of incapable criminals, and I’m hopeful that they won’t last for long as an operating agency. No one deserves this and I feel really sorry for you hearing you had to go through all the mess as well!

Jul 31, 2020I am currently in dispute about living in a shared flat with a tenant that has been abusive and harassing me and my flat mates since May- is he Italian and is his name alberto? it would really help our situation if we knew he went from being violent in one room- to being violent in our flat.

On the overall, the service was very poor. The room booked and paid for in advance was not available on the due date. We had to take another one with not the same features. At the end of the renting period, it was long and not automatic (on the opposite of what is stated in the contract) to have ... Read Full Review

Don't go with city rooms!! Ask to see contract before you put down deposit.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
