Stay Inn Apartments is a London-based operator of short-stay serviced apartments managed by Booking Experts Ltd. Their properties are spread across several London neighborhoods and are marketed primarily through major booking platforms, as well as their own website at stay-london.com. The apartments are self-catering and typically include facilities such as a private bathroom, kitchen or kitchenette, Wi‑Fi, and weekly or end-of-stay cleaning, positioned as a more spacious alternative to traditional hotels for business and leisure travelers.
A charge from Stay Inn Apartments (or Booking Experts Ltd / stay-london.com) usually appears on your bank or card statement when you reserve and pay for a stay in one of their serviced apartments. Depending on the booking terms, you may be charged the full amount at the time of booking, a deposit upfront with the balance closer to arrival, or on the day of check‑in. You might also see additional charges for security deposits, cleaning fees, late check‑out, extra guests, or incidentals (such as key replacement or damage). In some cases, a temporary authorization hold is placed on your card at check‑in to cover potential damages or extras, which can look like a charge until it’s released by your bank.
If you don’t recognize a Stay Inn Apartments charge, first search your email (and any travel apps you use) for booking confirmations from Stay Inn Apartments, Booking Experts Ltd, or the booking platform you used (e.g., Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb). Compare the amount and dates on your statement with your reservation details, including deposits and cleaning or service fees. To resolve questions, sign in to the platform where you booked or visit stay-london.com to find their contact details and reference your reservation number when you call or email. For billing disputes, overcharges, or refund questions, contact Stay Inn Apartments or the booking site first; if the issue remains unresolved, you can then speak with your bank or card issuer about the transaction.

Why was I charged by Stay Inn Apartments before my check-in date?
Many of Stay Inn Apartments’ rates require prepayment, either in full at the time of booking or as a deposit before arrival. If you see a charge before check‑in, it is likely the advance payment or deposit agreed to in your booking conditions. Check your confirmation email from the booking platform or stay-london.com to see whether your rate was non‑refundable, partially refundable, or pay-on-arrival.
Why does Stay Inn Apartments appear under Booking Experts Ltd or stay-london.com on my statement?
Stay Inn Apartments properties are operated and billed by Booking Experts Ltd, their management company in Bromley, London. Depending on your card issuer, the descriptor may show as “BOOKING EXPERTS LTD,” “STAY INN APARTMENTS,” or include their website (stay-london.com). If the amount matches a recent or upcoming stay in London, this is usually the payment for that reservation or related fees.
What common amounts might I see from Stay Inn Apartments, and what do they include?
Most guests see a charge equal to the total cost of their stay, including nightly rate, cleaning fees, and any taxes or service charges shown at booking. You may also see a separate amount for a refundable security deposit or a second charge for extras such as additional nights, late check‑out, or extra guests. The exact figures vary by property, apartment type, length of stay, and booking platform, so compare the total on your statement with the price breakdown in your confirmation.
What is the security deposit or authorization hold from Stay Inn Apartments?
Some Stay Inn Apartments locations place a temporary authorization hold on your card at check‑in to cover potential damages, missing items, or unpaid extras. This can appear as an additional pending charge, separate from your room payment, but it is not actually taken unless there is a valid reason (such as damage or violation of house rules). If no issues are reported after your stay, the hold is released; depending on your bank, it may take a few business days to disappear from your available balance.
How can I cancel or change my Stay Inn Apartments reservation and avoid extra charges?
To cancel or modify a booking, use the same platform where you made the reservation—either directly via stay-london.com or through a third-party site like Booking.com or Expedia. Your ability to cancel without charge depends on the rate type: flexible rates usually allow free cancellation up to a certain deadline, while non‑refundable rates charge the full amount if you cancel. Always check the cancellation policy shown in your confirmation email; if you need help, contact Stay Inn Apartments or the booking platform’s customer service with your reservation number.
How do I request a refund or dispute a charge from Stay Inn Apartments?
Start by reviewing your booking confirmation to understand the cancellation and refund terms that applied to your reservation. If you believe you were charged incorrectly—for example, double charged, billed after a valid cancellation, or overcharged for extras—contact Stay Inn Apartments or the booking site’s support with copies of your confirmation and any cancellation emails. They can verify the charge, process eligible refunds, or correct billing errors. If you cannot resolve the issue directly, you can then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction with supporting documentation.
Why am I seeing a charge from Stay Inn Apartments for a date after my stay ended?
Post‑stay charges can occur if housekeeping or management reports damage, missing items, smoking fines, or additional services used but not settled at check‑out (such as late check‑out or extra cleaning). These charges are typically deducted from the card used to secure the booking or the security deposit. If you don’t agree with a post‑stay charge, request a detailed invoice or damage report from Stay Inn Apartments and ask for photos or supporting evidence if necessary.
How can I contact Stay Inn Apartments about a charge I don’t recognize?
Check your booking confirmation or messages from the platform you used; they usually include direct contact details for Stay Inn Apartments or the specific property. You can also visit stay-london.com and use their contact form or listed email/phone number, providing your full name, dates of stay, and reservation number. If a friend, family member, or employer booked on your behalf, ask them to share the booking details, as the charge may relate to a reservation made in your name.
