Pros: - Harjit and Carina consistently provided exceptional support throughout our stay. Always going the extra mile - The amenities, including an oven, dishwasher, toaster, and kettle, were convenient. - Proximity to the train station (5-minute walk) and Enterprise car rental (10-minute walk) was advantageous. - Watford Shopping Centre (10-minute walk) provided indoor entertainment, including a cinema and kids rock climbing. Primark, M&S, Next, and other favorite stores were also present in the mall. - Various dining options nearby, including Pizza Express and Wenzels, eliminated the need for car travel. - Additionally, a Sainsbury's supermarket was within a 5-10 minute walk. - The location was perceived as safe and secure. Cons: - Occasional discomfort due to issues like a window not closing fully. - The absence of laundry detergent pods was inconvenient. - Inconvenient dryer issues led to repeated attempts to dry clothes and necessitated leaving them out to dry. - No phone in the room required trips downstairs for assistance, and long-distance calls were needed if not going downstairs. - The TV setup was confusing and lacked streaming options. - Unexpectedly, there was no adapter or multi-plug in the room.

2nd use of Livin Apartments. Just as good as the 1st. Although this time upon walking into the room it was uncomfortably warm for me, but more so for my wife, but with the fans and what seemed to be a mobile Air Conditioner. Was well thought of in advance. The rooms are impressive with their fully equipped kitchens.

Great potential, poor quality. Lacking comfort.
The location was great, easy fast connections into London, Watford high street short walking distance.Unfortunately it is not clear that the room will not be serviced during your stay, inspite of there being a sign which you hang on your door informing the housekeeping you are out and they can service the room. When we asked we were told rooms are only serviced after 4 days. Again misleading to advertise as "serviced" apartments when they don't service them during your stay. We had to request for clean towels and extra toilet paper during our three night stay. The room is a good size, however the furniture is worn and in some cases completely damaged. Sofa was unfit for purpose and no cushion padding remaining meaning it was not comfortable to even sit on. The mattresses were not comfortable as you could feel the springs. Ectractor in the windowless bathroom not functioning which makes the room very warm and means you have to put on fans to try and cool it down after a shower as the stream is not being removed. Windows are thin and little sound proofing means its quite loud from the road. Overall id not stay here again, shame to say the potential has been lost through lack of investment in the rooms and furnishings.

Ok but not fantastic.
We’ve stayed here before but this time the bath didn’t have a plug that worked - so showers only and the design of the shower screen means you have to stretch past it to turn the shower on. Also, there are no bars or anything to help you get out of the shower/bath - and with the shower screen design, you can’t grab onto the sink unless you contort yourself! I’m older but anyone could slip very easy with the current design. Kitchen was lovely and clean and well provisioned. The only other thing is the bed - the mattress is very thin and you can feel the springs - they dug into my hips so it was uncomfortable. Finally - I’m not sure, given the high prices for staying there, why you wouldn’t get breakfast added in. It’s not included and it’s very expensive (the cooked breakfast especially). It’s free if you stay in the hotel so not sure why it isn’t free for the apartments. Location is excellent - very near Watford Junction and the staff at the Holiday Inn (where you can check in and go in and out) were really friendly and efficient.

Great family stay
Just what we needed for a family stay, great to have separate bedrooms and kitchen facilities. Free to use laundry room on 5th floor also a bonus. Apartment was big and spacious but a bit tatty around the edges, not much attention to detail on finishing, however clean amd well equipped. Great location close to Watford Junction Station, fair amount of traffic noise but expected for central location. Apartment was very hot with no air con, even though not that hot outside, but 3 good fans provided which did help.

Beautiful Apartment no Aircon
We arrived around 7pm really lovely staff at holiday inn checked us in quickly, i was confused as the apartment was within the hotel it was Beautiful and spacious it was raining outside so didn't use the hotel bar which had a lovely garden the windows opened slightly but absolutely no air it was stifling hot and had to have 3 showers and go outside a few times in the night to get air! Although the apartment had a tower fan and a normal fan it didn't make much of a difference unfortunately...

Great Location when visiting Harry Potter World
Great location, well equiped, very reasonable price. The accommodation is on the upper floors of Holiday Inn and all the facilties are available to use for your stay, bar, restaurant, mini gym, laundry etc. Parking on site which is available at a reasonable fee. The accommodation is about 100 metres from Watford Junction Station for frequent and easy 30 min train journey to London Euston (trains every 15 mins but check the number of stops can take an hour if you get the wrong train) Free Shuttle Bus to Harry Potter World is from outside the station as well. Furnishings in the room were a bit tired but the place was very clean and good value.

Can’t fault the room, cleanliness or the location. It is also located inside the Holiday Inn hotel so you can make use of the hotel facilities. My only criticisms are - the room was so hot, safety windows and the hot water tank adding to the summer heat made the first nights sleep terrible - the second night the hotel provided a fab which was much better

This was fine as a place to stay. It was clean and well maintained and the staff were nice. The three person apartment was smaller than expected. The beds were fine, the kitchen had plenty of equipment but nothing for cooking (oil, salt, etc., you would have to bring or buy all that) although there were teabags and some milk. Very limited plates and cutlery. There is parking outside which is a reasonable price, you are very close to Watford junction for easy access to London. We didn’t try the breakfast. Although we stayed on a hot day, the apartment stayed quite cool. Overall, it’s fine and functional.
