For our upcoming trip to London we booked the 2 bed studio at Hyde Park through http://www.citysightapartments.eu.pn/
I was originally quoted £50 x 8nights = £400
+ refundable security deposit = £300.
Total £700

I did the transfer via Western Unioin. This was confirmed and I received a receipt. Since then I have not heard anything from citysightapartments.

My emails are not being responded to, and one of the phonenumbers does not work and the otherone is picked up by someone who claims I have been calling the wrong number (+44 774 289 8087 and +44 774 289 8085)

The man I dealt with via email called himself Stevensson.

The email addresses used was
[email protected]
The details for the Western Union was
Receivers Name: Mrs. Linda Holstein
Address: Inverness Terrace, Bayswater, W2 3HU. London, United Kingdom

Their website is still being updated and new studios are now available.
Hopefully this saves someone time and money in the future.

I will report these sites later today.

Hi, i believe the same people who were mentioned are now working on a website www.socomfortableapartments.com. the mobile number that is listed is the same +447742898087, the address refers to socomfysleep Company Number, 05667464. Registered Office, 38 BEECH DRIVE, CALDERSTONES PARK, WHALLEY CLITHEROE LANCASHIRE BB7 9RA. This appears to be a mattress wholesaler??? no phone number listed on any of the credit check websites that come up when you google the company number.

I emailed about the Victoria property a few days ago and thought it was funny that they ask for money by Western Union, that the email reply came from a gmail address and that the prices for the apartment are showing are WAY below others of similar standard on other sites.

my reply was from a James Turner and the email was [email protected] . I am really glad I found this site.
