I stayed here around 9 days on a business trip to London. First, temper your expectations. Visit their website and keep in mind that the pictures of the place were probably taken when the facility was just finished. The place is getting a bit old in the tooth as they say with the carpets worn down and could use a... More

I found 196 Bishopgate on Expedia, checked the reviews and booked an Executive Studio Apartment for £158. On arrival I was upgraded to a single-bedroom apartment. This consisted of a lobby, bathroom, bedroom, living room and fully equipped kitchen. There was a washing machine concealed in a cupboard in the bathroom. I only needed a bed for the night after...

If you remember you haven't paid amything like the price for staying in one of the "upmarket" chains and that you're right in the City this place represents great value for money. Bed was on the small side and cupboards a bit flimsy but all in all one of the best options I have used. I spend 2 nights a... More

The website does presents smart modern appartments that look clean and inviting so I suspect the photo's are still from when it was new. The place is very tired and the rooms have not been kept clean with several bulbs gone, no heated rail in the bathroom and generally looking very uncared for. We were originally booked in a 2...

1/ no native English speakers - impossible to communicate over the phone - messages apparently understood totally ignored - suspect not even registered 2/ reasonable size room, clean - but no one from the management has ever stayed here - zero bathroom lighting, nowhere to hang towel, shower difficult to get in and out, basin too high, poor storage space...

I booked this apartment for one night of my business travel to London. They didn't have any studios left, so I booked a 1 bedroom apartment. Upon arrival as an extremely tired traveler, they upgraded me to a 2 bedroom suite! The apartment was HUGE and really nice, however I suppose a little too big for just 1 person. But... More

Just spent 5 weeks at this hotel and I and was very impressed. It may be a little long in the tooth but what it lacks in age it makes up for in so many ways. All the staff are friendlily and helpful the rooms are clean and comfortable and the location superb. Andres is very helpful and his walking... More

My husband booked this as a surprise for my belated 30th birthday. From the outside it appears modern and clean, the location is fantastic, however the room was a huge disappointment. We had a one bedroom executive apartment, the shower was tiny it was hard to get in & out of & neither of us are huge. The lounge/kitchen had... More

I booked a room thro hotels.com, the fee charged was a lot more than what the hotel would charge as it transpires! Not the hotels fault. However, rooms are small, uncomfortable, dated with no extras! Nothing like the website! Good location but not worth the money, there is a travel lodge round the corner, wish we'd stayed there! More
