This hotel is not for sleeping

They are good and bad parts of the location of the hotel. The good part is that is directly across the road from a main line train station with good links to the airport and Central London. The bad part is that the hotel is directly above two very busy bars and a bus stop. If you plan to get any sleep then this should not be the hotel for you. There's also street lights that shine directly into the rooms that are street-facing. They do not have any curtains in the rooms, so the rooms are lit up all the night. As for the noise that is outside, you will definitely feel that you are in the middle of the bar at 1:00 in the morning. The hotel does offer rollaway beds but these are not rollaway beds, they'll be giving you air mattresses. This hotel is really only suitable for bachelor /bachelorette parties who are in town for the night life and transport connections. Inside the apartments, it's pretty limited and basic, but good enough for young party goers.

This apartment was amazing - plenty of space for a family, and lots of natural light. The neighborhood is full of restaurants and shopping opportunities, and there are 2 grocery stores within a block or two. The Liverpool Street Tube station is across the street, making transportation easy. I think the Tower of London is within walking distance, but we didn't walk it. The only downside was that our apartment was on the 5th floor, and the elevator was not working while we were there. Given that the lobby is on the ground floor, trudging up five floors with luggage was not pleasant.

Great location for us across the street from Liverpool Station since we came from Heathrow Airport and we're going out of Stansted Airport. Easy to walk to central London sights.Clean, large room. Friendly, helpful staff that had a lot of work to do since the lift was down.

Location is excellent for Liverpool St Station. The property is a bit dated in parts, and the lift temporarily came to a halt a couple of times. The rooms were large and clean. Good for a short stay I felt

Great location

It is a fantastic location near Liverpool Street Station. Rooms are good size and fully equipped. The beds were comfortable. It could do with a touch-up in some areas. The blind in the Bedroom was ripped, which is not great for a light sleeper, and the bathroom decor was a little tired.

Whilst we overall enjoyed the property and its facilities, we were disappointed that there was a degree of poor maintenance that would benefit from attention, such as non-functioning door furniture.
