196 Bishopsgate

I had high hopes for this place as it was on the expensive side. We were in Apartment 403 on the fourth floor. The apartment itself is lovely. A few things though: it could do with new windows as it was very very noisy. At the moment you are opposite building works. So in the living room it is constant noise. In the lower bedroom you are above some kind of air conditioning so that’s all you can hear on a night. The bedroom on the upper floor must have been recently painted because it smelt of fresh paint. Also, the blinds didn’t fit the windows, so as soon as you turned off the bedroom room light, the light from outside shone straight through. The shower was built for a very small person - I’m 5ft 4inches and I had to hunch - which wasn’t good for my 6ft 1inch hubby. As I said it’s a lovely apartment but some things just let it down.

Good standard of accommodation

Stayed here one night for a party. The place was very clean. We didn’t use the kitchenette but it looked like it had everything you needed. Convenient place for Shorditch/Spitalfields and right next to Liverpool Street Station. Would stay again.

Overall excellent experience

Staff was VERY VERY RUDE and aggressive with all FEMALE CUSTOMERS. Would NEVER recommend anyone to EVER stay there.
