David, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a fairly new property, with very well appointed interiors. I had the residence, which was far ahead of my expectations - very spacious, honely, clean, and excellent toiletries. Above all, the staff that make this place incredible - special mention to Gosia and Mohamed for the incredible hospitality, and pleased to help me out whenever required. Must stay if it fits your budget.

Karam Kaur, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice property with really nice staff. Gosia was very helpful. The property is also quite pet friendly. Nice place overall. The immediate area around it was not the nicest though but, you could walk other nicer areas that were close by.

ryan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was clean and conveniently located. However I checked in through an email they send and they had me put two security deposits down before checking in. Also they do not provide a free champagne bottle. It’s only a small glass of wine.

An absolutely wonderful stay. All staff were extremely helpful & professional at all times. A big thanks to Anastasia & Mohammad for taking great care
Rubina, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A stylish and well run hotel with some apartment style amenities. Excellent if you need a place in the city for a few days.
Jason, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Well situated hotel, grocery nearby, underground within 150 m. Great stay.
Pierre, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great location – I’d stay again just for that alone. The room was decent but a bit limited in terms of amenities – no vanity kit or extras, though maybe that’s something you have to request (not sure). The rooftop was cosy and a nice spot to relax. One thing I didn’t love: as a Silver tier member, the hotel says you get a free bottle of sparkling wine, but instead I was given a drinks and snacks token. Ended up with just a glass of prosecco and a beer – bit underwhelming. Staff were polite, though not the most energetic
Savannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Incredible property. The views were fabulous. The staff are super helpful but the check in process can be quite long.

Can't fault it

Large apartments, super clean, great gym, nicely designed and friendly staff
1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a free upgrade, which was a lovely surprise! The location was perfect as we were mainly doing things around Shoreditch and Spitalfields, which are both walking distance. We were also able to walking easily to Borough Market with various things to do on the way! The hotel staff were amazing, really friendly and welcoming. The room was brilliant, clean and had everything we needed in it.

Ross, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had to book this stay last minute because our VRBO host ghosted us, and we had to scramble to find a place for 11 nights after arriving in London. This place was honestly the best place we could have stayed. Clean, quiet, conveniently located, and every single staff member we interacted with was incredible! Every staff person went above and beyond for us, and we felt so welcomed in London after the fiasco of losing our place to stay. I didn’t realize housekeeping didn’t take care of dishes at first, and after I asked them about it, they even went out of their way to wash my dishes the first day even after I found out they didn’t provide that. So kind!! Check in/out was seamless, hosts, breakfast staff (shoutout to Augustine and Mariza!!), and housekeepers were all so hospitable and accommodating, and I definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to the area. Also, the avocado toast and smoked salmon and fresh juice in the mornings made my mornings! So yummy. As someone who has also worked in the hospitality industry before, I was genuinely impressed by the care and intentionality the staff took here. You are all doing something right in how you are training staff and caring for guests. Thank you for making our stay in London exactly what we needed. 🙏
