Pretty good.
Pros:

Good clean and well appointed room.

Cons:

The "double" was actually two beds pushed together so when my partner tried to tie me to the bed I kept falling through the middle.

Accommodations were fine, just don't expect any help (or intelligence) from the desk staff.
Pros:

Good location for our purposes, nice enough room.

Cons:

Uninformed juvenile staff. We asked for a recommendation for a good pub to get a good burger, they said (both of them, a pretty black girl and another possibly Eastern-European accented girl with blue-blonde hair) "Your best bet is to order from Popeye's...or McDonalds"... then they started to mock-argue: McDonald's or Popeye's. I said, forget it. How about just a good local pub? They said that there weren't any nearby, and our best bet was to go to Farringdon Station, that we might be able to find a pub from there. We did: both Sutton Arms and The Slaughtered Lamb, great pubs, both LESS THAN A BLOCK from the Citadines. These girls were idiots. In addition: low water pressure, no ice machines.

Comfortable, great location, mostly great, but bed small
Pros:

Nice studio room, good kitchen and other facilities, great view of the city (7th floor), very little street noise, loved the old London map on the bathroom floor, all very clean and smart. Great location for the Barbican and area around it. Helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was fine.

Cons:

Although the double bed was very comfortable it was (very) small, which surprised us given the rating and deluxe studio. A wider one could have fitted the space. The other thing to note is that the air-conditioning unit buttons didn't work (except switching it on and off). The blue light from the A/C control unit was far too bright at night and made the room too light.

Great location but it could benefit with more attention and noisy
Pros:

Great location, very well connected to all London, many restaurants and bars around the hotel and also easy to walk to major locations. The room was spacious and clean

Cons:

It was noisy, we could hear other people closing doors, or someone moving furniture upstairs on Sunday at 7:30AM (possibly the cleaners). Also our room's shower was quite blocked, the water did not flow down well and one time it overflowed
