Cityrooms Reviews 

Bonjour,
Je déconseille fortement cet organisme. Nous avons loué via un intermédiaire en France. Le résultat est vraiment décevant.
Beaucoup de pb dans le logement (fuite d'eau, appart humide...). Ils ne répondent pas à nos emails.
4 mois après notre retour .... je n'ai toujours pas récupéré la caution !!!!

The most disgustingly dishonest and greedy agency in London. Never ever make the mistake of getting a property through them - I have and I am paying a huge financial cost for doing so.

These people know their properties are rundown and in a state of disrepair - they will entice you to sign a contract with them without telling you how to get out of it (no break clauses!) and they are banking on you paying them money to get out of the contract.

They are extremely understaffed with respect to handymen/plumbers/electricians and all they care about is how to squeeze the maximum cash out of you.

I implore you - it is better to be homeless than to rent through City Rooms

This rental agency in London is the worst. I've repeatedly asked them to fix my shower plumbing because water is leaking everywhere due to the aging of the house. Despite multiple calls, they only sent a contractor who did nothing but take a look and then charged me £100. It's ridiculous! I've had many horrible experiences with Cityroom. I strongly advise against renting with them if you care about your well-being.

Scam!!! Don't put a penny in this agency, they gonna steal your money!!!!

This is the worst renting company in London. I rented a room in 2022, and it was the worst experience ever. Since then, I have been continuously receiving emails from them despite repeatedly requesting to have my email removed from their database

If we could give zero stars that would be our first choice !!! Please avoid this agency at all cost. My niece spent 6 months in a house shared with 5 boys when she was reassured there were also girls renting in the property, the property was cleaned once a month with hardly anyone showing up when there was an issue; but unfortunately that’s not the main reason for this review … two days before checking out the property and while she was on a short trip to Edinburgh all her belongings were removed from her room without her authorisation, they were taken to the main office in White City and when she went to collect she found all her belongings were messed up in the bag and her PC and rings removed from the bag.. actually I should say STOLEN from her bag. Nobody helped a nobody knew the person who did the checkout or simply they didn’t tell us. Let’s hope the police can do something about it !!!

Reposting this review because apparently naming the person who scammed you is against the rules. As ridiculous as that is, we will call him "L" in this review but everyone working there is an L anyway.

Avoid at all costs!

Friends of mine went through a horrible experience with them very recently and I just wanted to share my experience back in late 2019. Apparently they havent changed much in the last 4 years.
Anyhow, my agent L assured me I had to pay 250 quid to lock in a room I had liked, so we can go and see it. Lo and behold, the time comes and he doesnt show up for the viewing. The other tenant lets me in but the room in question is locked. L knew I was on a tight schedule and abused it. I had 2 more days left in London and they stalled all communication after the no-show. I requested a refund and they refused. Of course, being a foreigner and new to London at the time, litigation wasn't an option so I decided to accept my losses and count my blessings.

TLDR
The agency is predatory and will not act in your interest, especially if they sense that you are new/inexperienced.
Serves me right for paying without signing anything in advance.

If anyone ever decides to start a group litigation agains them, feel free to contact me. I have the payment and all communication with them saved, including voice messages and WhatsApp chats, which L promptly deleted after scamming me.

After we left the room, it took ages to get the money of the deposit back! Also they do everything to hold something. We gave the keys as instructed and Gorka told us they never received it. We called the local authorities to help us but nothing could have been done because the CCTVS were private. They wanted to charge us 180£ but we gave the keys! At the end we had to deal half and half so still they took something. I would suggest you to take a proof of anything, any time you do something with them. Gorka dealt with the situation really bad, never giving proper explanation and said he checked CCTVs but he said we were never there!

NEVER EVER EVER GO WITH THEM, THEY ARE FRAUDS AND THEY WILL EAT ALL YOUR MONEY. ‘SCAMMERS’

if you are thinking of going with city rooms you are going to make your biggest mistake. They will charge you so high bills and their rooms are waste, cracked, full of fungus, and cheap quality materials. Their agents are liars and they each person is a liar, they will make sweet talk to make you fall into their trap. This is a fraud company and they will charge you for cleaning and everything you will get replaced. They will not tell you the price before but when you leave they will send you a bill for hundreds of pounds. I suggest that you will get better rooms for the same price so if you read this full review NEVER EVER DO THIS BIG MISTAKE TO TAKE A ROOM FROM THEM AND DO NOT BELEIVE THEM EVEN IF THEY SAY PEOPLE WRITE GOOD AND BAD REVIEWS. THEY ARE LIARS AND THEY WILL STEAL ALL YOUR MONEY.

The company have not only, consistently failed to fix the broken boiler, a ceiling that leaks in heavy rain fall, lighting fixtures that burned through the ceiling/ floor of a bedroom above and several faulty fire alarms, they have now resorted to actively ignoring reports, emails and calls addressing these issues.

A company that fundamentally only cares for receiving rent on time and not for the safety and wellbeing of its tenants. Avoid at all costs.

Roberta helped me find the best room at the best price. She was patient and helped me throughout the process.

Worst letting agents ever. They are simply looting their customers. CityRooms has proven to be an absolute nightmare. Their letting services are a masterclass in incompetence. The exorbitant bills they slapped us with were only surpassed by their creativity in finding unnecessary deductions from our final deposit money. It has left us frustrated and financially strained. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this letting agent at all costs.

Pablo has helped my brother a lot to find the perfect room, and has also given us full support with all the paperwork. Really happy with his service :)

Pablo is a really professional agent and he introduced me to really nice rooms which are the same as shown in the pictures. And I got the way to refund my money when something unpredictable happened. I really appreciate the help of City rooms.

Giuseppe, the agent I dealt with was really cooperative. He showed me a great room to my liking and I was going to move in as well as it had everything I wanted. I paid the weekly holding deposit as well. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances, I had to leave the UK and I cancelled my booking. I emailed City Rooms to get my holding deposit back and Giovanni, the manager responded quickly that it will be refunded to me in five working days. I was satisfied with the service they provided and I'm glad that they value not just customers but potential customers who change their minds. I'm really glad they operate with such a mindset and I will definitely try them again.

We love CityRooms as a letting agency. We have been their customers before, and everytime they make sure to provide good customer service. Recently, we got the opportunity go be in touch with CityRooms again and Daria (a letting agent) was really helpful and welcoming. She was very prompt on replying to us if we had any queries. Unfortunately, after paying the holding deposit, due to some unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the booking but Daria assured us, that we will get the refund. Just like her, CityRoom’s cancellation team was very prompt in acknowleding my problem and they initiated the refund too. I am very much thankful to Daria and the entire CityRoom’s team. Will definitely go back to them if the circumstances permit.

Our boiler is leaking, and was supposed to be fixed weeks ago. No-one has come, and we have to put a pan under it to catch the drips.

My bedroom door lock is stuck and I cannot open it - to get to the kitchen or bathroom, I have to leave via the garden gate and walk along the public road, coming in via the front door. This was supposed to be resolved within a week, and hasn't been.

The company is providing no support- it's an absolute disgrace, for a property for which we're paying a fortune in rent.

Peppe was very helpful, honest and joyful when helping with our property search. I would recommend him :)

Great customer service, quick responses and process of referencing

Gotta say, I've been pretty impressed with Cityrooms. Pavlo was extremely helpful, even though he was actually on annual leave the week I was getting the documents sorted he still replied to help me! Admin was as also pretty efficient. Moving is always a hassle but they made it as painless as it can be so I would recommend them
