Second time staying at this property. Right across from Liverpool st station. Near a grocery store and dining - especially the Spitafields market. It is a busy area but always felt safe. Some of the rooms are a little dated but very clean and spacious.

This was a wonderful location just across from the tube. You can walk to many sightseeing activities as well. This is a spacious apartment for my family of five, and is very clean. It is in the city and you will hear people on the street and at nearby pubs which was no a problem for us.

Advertised with ensuite but only had 2 normal bathroom. Air conditioning did not work and wasnt to be fixed. Broken tiles in kitchen. Advertised worldwide sockets, but only euro/uk. Desperately needs a paint. Would not stay again.

The apartment does not have A/C and the apartment feels old and needs an upgrade. No pan in the kitchen, limited dishes and forks, spoons etc. very limited utensils. The TVs did not work. He fans were broken. The pictures does not reflect at all the condition of the apartment. The only good think is location next to subway and train station bit the area is dirty, homeless around, I wouldn't stay again

I booked this hotel but I didn't get to see the rooms, because they messed up my reservation and sent me to another hotel which was apparently nicer (it was good) but there was a reason why I wanted to stay in this location next to Liverpool Street station. Sending us to the alternative hotel just added time to my plans around London.

A little tired but adequate.

We have stayed here before and by chance were in the same room. Neeed a lot of TLC last time and thishas been addressed somewhat. Was hot in London and no fans availability, so windows open and therefore LOTS of noise. Close to Liverpool Street station is a plus.

Wouldn't stay here again - was ok

On checking in they asked me to pay a discretionary 5% service charge.... I've never heard of this before.... I declined and said I would decide at check out. The description says washer/dryer.... it's a washer only. I told them safe didn't work, nothing was done about it. Housekeeping came very late 3.30 - 4.30 pm which if you've been out all day isn't convenient - I only ended up getting one service in 5 night ( and the bed wasn't made) event though another 2 days I had 'please service my room' on the outside of door. And the man on reception blocking the entrance in the evening smoking is not acceptable. Plus 3 glass table on the studio - the glass wasn't fixed to any of the table so was dangerous. No air con - rooms very hot - asked for a fan. Beds very comfortable and great location but works chose another option next time.

Perfect for an intergenerational family stay

Clean and spacious apartment in a good location, opposite Liverpool Street Station and a short walk from Leadenhall Market. Reception and cleaning staff very helpful and friendly. Perfect for an intergenerational family stay.

The location was excellent and so convenient for public transportation and restaurants, pubs and really anything’s you might need. The problem is that the hotel is not air conditioned and you cannot open the windows for airflow. Every room in the apartment has a heavy door that can’t be propped open so there is no air flow. The weather in London was in the 80’s so the apartment got very hot throughout the day and it was very hard to sleep. The mattress was overly soft and had a big slope in the middle. Otherwise the accommodations were fine. Nothing fancy.

This property is in a great location. The lady at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful. Our biggest issue with the room was the toilet would hardly flush. We called shortly after checking in, and the lady said we can use the one in the room next to us, which was nice. There was no other room available for our family of 5. A repair man came after about an hour. Unfortunately the repair man, who was very nice, was in our room until after 9pm attempting to repair the toilet. About 3 hours. I told him we had to wake up early, and he finished up soon after. The next morning the man at the desk was going to charge me a service fee for something, I’m not sure what, and I told him about the problem the night before, and he didn’t charge me. The room looks very worn. The floor looks very bad. Otherwise, everything was ok
