The hotel had spacious rooms with ample room for my toiletries, a large bath perfect for my 6 ft 3" frame, and a huge comfortable bed. While the staff was polite and helpful, there were some issues with securing my booking initially. The location was ideal for my event at the nearby conference center but slightly off the beaten path for exploring the city. The dining experience offered delicious Spanish dishes at a discounted rate. Overall, a luxurious stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel offers a free continental breakfast with fluffy pillows in just right rooms, but the air conditioner didn't work and the bathroom was tiny. The service from the Doorman on arrival to all staff was professional and friendly, despite one member seeming eager to finish her shift. The location is ideal for sightseeing in the City of London, although buying breakfast at £25 per person was pricey. The dining experience at discounted rates lacked variety, and the facilities were functional but not extensive.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with good amenities, but unfortunately, they were in need of redecoration and the air conditioning was not functioning properly. The staff were attentive and made efforts to fix issues promptly, although some seemed just to be going through the motions. The location was central with easy access to three underground stations and the Barbican Centre, making it convenient for exploring the City of London. The dining options were satisfactory with a discounted rate available, although the timing was a bit late for my taste. The facilities were decent, offering necessary services, but nothing extraordinary.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The handwritten card from the duty manager was a special touch, but the lower single bed and non-functioning air conditioning were a bit disappointing. The service was top-notch with just one receptionist always ready to assist. The location in the converted brewery behind the Barbican on the fringes of the City was fantastic, but the noise from the nearby pub was a drawback. Dining was at a discounted rate and the facilities were great.
