positive comments lovely rooms excellent facilities, good staff, nice to have own kitchen and living room
negative comments shower door came off in my hand in the first apartment we had, but were quickly moved to another room by staff. Limescale could be cleaned off the bathroom better and some bleach used on the tile grout

Excellent. I was only sorry I wasn't staying longer to enjoy the spacious apartment we had. (97513244)

positive comments The location was excellent as right opposite Liverpool Street Station. Within walking distance of all amenities. We had an executive one bed apartment and it was extremely clean and spacious. I will definately be going back and recommnending it to friends and family.
negative comments Maybe a hairdryer could be supplied.

wonderful location,great facilities and very clean and well designed hotel, 10 out 10...but need to give out more information to clients about what is an acceptaeble level of behaviour and noise and then the consequences if is exceeded. (97819864)

positive comments Well positioned for all local ammenities.well laid out apartments very spacious.we had about 13 people in the living room celebrating a wedding and it was perfect.
negative comments About 5 oclock in the morning disturbed by some people having a party which must have spilled out from the apartment on to a patio area which some apartments had.nothing against parties at the right time or in a persons house, but to have one in a hotel seemed rather strange at that time of the morning even in a aparthotel as it was very loud music and the usual shouting etc...it took many phone calls to reception to get any joy so we could get some sleep in relative peace as it seem to go on all morning until we checked out.

The accommadation was excellent, clean and really worth the extra few pounds over a traditional hotel. it was lovely to have extra space and to be in an excellent location in the heart of london. (97339527)

positive comments Very spacious, clean and had everything which i needed for my stay. location was excellent
negative comments my room suffered from noise created by a pub outside and overlooked a courtyard, were glass bottles were constantly being tipped into a bin until 2am - not the fault of 196 Bishopsgate, but annoying none the less!!

Rosaleen from Limerick, IE (Family with older children) 14 February 2008

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable. The accomodation was very close to the underground, so it made it very easy to get around London.The area was lovely and quite at night so it was possible to get a good nights sleep. I'd defiantly recommend this accomodation to my friends and family. (97697267)

positive comments The rooms were quite big and were very nicely decorated, and very clean.
negative comments The bathroom door was very hard to open when locked, and the flush handle was loose on the toilet.

Hotel located very close to Liverpool Street station - once you use the correct exit. Look for the Police station opposite the railway station exit - the hotels discreet entrance is about 50 feet past it. Hotel security good with swipe card access to lobby area. In room facilities exactly as stated/pictured on the website - all to a very high standard. Large Tesco Metro within 200m and several fast food places also close to hand. (99337096)

positive comments Discreet location, very close to Liverpool Street station. Excellent facilities in the suite.
negative comments Windows opened onto a central courtyard/ service area which was very noisy until late at night. Venetian blinds did not give 100% feeling of privacy

Have stayed here a few times now this was the first time i'd booked a studio apartment, as all the studio apartments i've seen don't have room to swing a cat. This studio was massive to say the least will book again (99162005)

We booked this hotel as it was near a function we planned to attend. We found the hotel very clean having good area for relaxing and being able to cook if we wanted to is a great idea. The shower was one of the best I have every used. The only comment on the down side I could make is that you need to put a hairdryer and mirror together. Having the station near and plenty of shops made life very easy and I would recommend this hotel and use it again. (3304640183)

positive comments Very clean and ale to relax
negative comments Lack of mirrors in the bedrooms and would like to be able to dry your hair and see what you are doing.

Samantha from Fleet, UNITED KINGDOM;GB (Young couple) 04 May 2006

I thought the hotel was great for what i wanted - to be honest my and my partner would have been happy to stay there the afternoon and chill out then go out in the evening to see the show that we booked. I loved the idea it was opposite Liverpool Street near all the tubes stations great for when we came back late we didnt have far to work. Overall i thought the actual accommodation was great it was small but still thought it was perfect. I couldnt of asked for a better place to stay and if im in the city again i will defo be staying there again. The only thing i could complain about was the view from the Window but we was on the first floor and out the back to it was quiet and peaceful which was a good point. (3304571962)

positive comments i loved the lay out it thought it was great and the location was just right opposite Liverpool Street !!
negative comments The view from the window because we was only on the first floor

Christopher from 1862 Les Mosses, Switzerland;CH (Mature couple) 22 February 2006

The apartment was in the right place at the right time for us, with accommodation that suited our needs to perfection (we could even watch the DVD we bought of the concert we attended at the Barbican). For us it was ideal (sauf le bruit!) (3304097180)

positive comments It was modern, clean, a visual and physical pleasure - except for the noise of London whcih cost us our sleep, but then we live at 5000ft up a quiet Swiss Alp...
negative comments Doubled windows for sound - and the stay would have been perfect on every level!

positive comments The overall style of the appt was very nice, it is modern with wooden floors and very clean. The bed was good, the washer dryer worked perfectly and the accomodation is very roomy.
negative comments The card-swipe entry system at the front door could be somewhat easier to use, but apart from that this is a very good place to stay if you need to be in central London.

Ian from chatham, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 20 December 2005

Staff where good but not intrusive if you wanted something they got it other than that we did not see them. Rooms where as the photo's which make's a change many a time i've stayed in hotels and wondered when the photo's where taken. Have already booked this hotel again. Read the handbook on the table before trying to use cooker. There is a tesco's 2 doors away so was nice to get the fridge stocked up. (3304037077)

positive comments was the same as the brochure
negative comments none was spot on
