We had a three-night break in London, third weekend in January. Having stayed in Club Quarters previously about four years ago, we found it was just as good this time around. Highly acceptable quality of facilities and service all round, and for a central hotel in the capital, we think it's good value for money (we paid average of £55.00 pppn, room only). The Club has an adjoining bistro (Cote) but there are any amount of chain eateries in the immediate vicinity for breakfast & other meals (but be aware that, being within The City, some local bars & restaurants operate restricted opening hours at weekends).
Apart from the comfort of the accommodation, tourists and others will find the major plus point of this hotel is its location. On the doorstep of St Pauls Cathedral, it is an easy walk to the Millenium Bridge & South Bank, Fleet Street, Aldwych & The Strand. Alternatively, buses run from outside the hotel to these and other locations all over London and beyond. The tube station is around the corner, and a minutes walk away is City Thameslink rail station, which offers speedy direct links to Gatwick and Luton airports. In summary, Club Quarters is really handy for all points of interest, and we will certainly return for our next visit to London.

City Quarters St Pauls is tucked away on Ludgate Hill and from the outside you could be forgiven for thinking it’s a tiny establishment, but inside the five floors of rabbit-warren-like corridors, they’ve managed to fit an awful lot of decent sized rooms.

Ok, compared to elsewhere in the world, these are small rooms, big enough for a double bed, an ironing board, a desk and not much else, but we didn’t feel constrained, and had a nice view from our 6th floor window of St Paul’s.

(The ironing board doesn’t come with the room – to save space, all the ironing boards are in a cupboard by the lift, which makes sense unless every guest decided simultaneously that they needed to iron a shirt.)

On the positive side, it’s reasonably priced for a hotel in London; if you wanted to spend a weekend near St Paul’s/the Barbican/Smithfields/the Museum of London then it’s perfectly located. Rooms come with an ipod dock, which more than makes up for having to walk fifteen yards to locate the ironing board. There’s not much in the way of a minibar, but free purified water amply compensates for that.

The negatives are that it’s in that location, which is rather far east if you want to be in the midst of things (as already explained, that might not be an issue), and the walls of the rooms are rather thin – we were woken up at 5:30 by our neighbour’s alarm clock.

Check-in/check-out can be via a computer terminal in the lobby, although it didn’t work for us when we had to check out. Still, that didn’t make much odds: even with a big crowd of guests checking out, we were processed by the front desk in less than a minute.

We stayed there last weekend in a nice and comfortable double room with a walk in shower. We had a hairdryer and kettle also there is a cupboard in the corridor with all extras if you need and bottles with water is an excellent idea! Friendly and helpful staff. The English breakfast was very filling and it was not overpriced. We enjoyed the lounge and the coffee machine was another pleasant point. The location of the hotel is great, only 10 minutes by metro to central London and it runs till very late. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and definitely will come back to stay again.

Club Quarters is a typical business hotel. The location is perfect for a business traveler as it is not too far from the business hub although the company has to be a member. Rooms are compact but comfortable and meet the needs of a traveler. Staff is very helpful. Not many restaurants near by, however a very nice pub is right around the corner.
