Very nice hotel
Pros:

The room was very nice, spacious and quiet. The hotel was clean, very well located and connected with the rest of the city and the Gatwick airport.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit pricy so we decided not to take it.

Pros:

We arrived early in the morning just to leave our backpacks and go to the city but we were offered an accomodation already so we could go to our room and leave the baggage there and rest a little bit before exploring London! The room had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The neighborhood is nice and the hotel is conveniently located near the underground sstations.

Pros:

Przestronny i czysty pokój. Wystarczająde wyposażenie (szafa, szafki, lodówka, czajnik, sejf, żelazko, suszarka). Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Autobus tuż przy hotelu. Metro 5 minut pieszo. Polecam.

Good value for money, great location and friendly staff!
Pros:

Great location, on main avenue, 2 mins away from tube station and many buses, and within walking distance from some cool spots - Barbican Centre, Spitafields Market, Old Street, St Pauls, etc. Room was quite big, with many and high quality amenities, and extras like ironing board, fridge, clothes and hair dryer and great internet too.
Good value for money and would stay again, especially as the staff was very friendly and helpful with extra requests - asked to change rooms to be away from lift and also to keep my luggage on check out day.

Cons:

There isnt cleaning servuce offered during the stay - I understand that its an aparthotel but considering the cost and star rating of the hotel, I expected that there would be this service, even if only upon request. Gym was quite small and in need of maintenaince too.

Ok good location but could be improved
Pros:

Good location and comfortable

Cons:

Breakfast was poor - limited selection for the money. Was much better when it was a public cafe. Shower was rather feeble.
I hadn’t realised that rooms are not serviced between check in and check out (as it’s Aparthotel). As I was staying several days having to dispose of my rubbish by taking to waste room, get more tea and milk etc from the basement was a nuisance. Obv it’s not a problem if only staying for one night.
