The hotel offers clean and functional rooms, with some thoughtful features but lacks bedside tables. The service is a mix of occasionally rude encounters and helpful, friendly staff. Its location suits specific needs but may not be ideal for a central London experience. The on-site dining experience is lacking but can be complemented by nearby options. Facilities are decent overall.

The hotel rooms, with a queen-size bed, air-conditioning, a kitchenette, and a modern bathroom, were very comfortable, offering great value for money compared to other London stays. The service was efficient and very helpful, making for an enjoyable stay, despite some cold interactions. The location is perfect, with easy access to Barbican station, though the noise from nearby activities was a drawback.

The hotel is in a good location near a tube station and St Paul's, offering clean, modern rooms with a kitchenette for convenience. The staff is friendly but could improve on providing more information upon arrival. The dining options are limited, but the attached deli/coffee shop is nice. The venue caters primarily to business guests, with easy access to transit hubs, but noise from opposite University halls can be bothersome.
Rooms

The rooms were clean and modern, but a bit small. The presence of a kitchenette was useful for making breakfast. However, the lack of air conditioning made the room warm and opening the window caused noise from the nearby University halls.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were decent in size and some came with a small kitchenette, which was convenient. However, the noise from the bell outside was quite bothersome early in the morning. On the plus side, it was a comfortable place for my grandma to babysit until the late night wedding party finished.

The well-designed rooms cater to short or long stays, offering comfort and cleanliness. Service had its hiccups but was accommodating when needed.

The hotel is cute and cozy, making me feel very comfortable from the get-go in the bedroom of the apartment. Shopping for food/drink is within 5 minutes along with great restaurants. The location is central to visit, although not in a particularly animated neighborhood. Slow reception at peak times due to the number of people booking in/out is a drawback. Costing 17 pounds, the dining experience in the restaurant didn't quite meet my expectations.
