196 Bishopsgate

As a frequent business traveler, I much prefer an apartment instead of a hotel. It allows me to relax in the Main room, cook in the kitchen and sleep in the bedroom.It is almost like being at home. I also enjoy the ability to cook for myself when I want. I have been staying at 196 Bishopsgate for a couple of years now, and am always treated well.

This is our second time at 196 Bishopgate. The location is wonderful, easy walking to Spittalfields and great bus and underground connections. This stay our room faced Bishopgate. It was noisy with traffic and city noise as the weekend approached. The advantage of the apartment setting easily overcomes the problems. As this was the end of our trip we did cloths washing in the unit. There is a Tesco right down the street with great precooked meals. We are in our 60's and would recommend this accomodaton.

i recently stayed in the bishopgate hotel, however i was quite dissappointed. the bathroom was really small and the rooms had a foisty smell. we had no hot water or heating until 10:30pm after waiting 2hourse for it to come on!

The first room, I get, was very cold, because heater was not working after 2 days of complain, they change me room on the 3rd night with no excuse. I asked for a compensation and they just offer me an upgrade for a futur travel, as I was not sure to comeback to that place I asked for something else and they did just give free phone for the last day. As I had my cell it was not usefull. The room quality and cleaness was good but the service when you get problem was bad...

This was the third hotel of our vacation and by far the best. I would highly recommend this apartment living as such an imporovement to hotels. We ate in most nights as there is ample food outlets in the area. The apartment came with all you would need including dishwasher with soap, cloths washer and soap, dishes, wine glasses, pots and such. Plenty of room to spread out. Only negative was outside noise 2 nighs by ended by 1am . We are in our 60s and found using the tube and buses from this hotel easy.

Exactly what i needed the place to be. Late arrival all good, and so was the sytle and layout of the room. Very handy to get around with Liverpool st being over the road and plenty of shops and amenities all within a short walk. Good for a longer stay and not wanting ahotel.

An excellant hotel/apartment in a very convenient location. The staff were always helpful and accomodating. The apartment exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Though expensive many square metres in a modern, none floral flat at the best location from Stanstead Airport for your money. No need to drag your luggage through the metro. Everything works and there is no mould or old smells. Loved the well equipped kitchen. Had a few incidents though; it took two days to get toilet paper; was directed to a place which ended up not existing; had to remind them that some tv channels are now digitalised and were missing - however, consequently, they did replaced the tv. Would stay again.

Rooms are a nice size just the shower was very small and they don't provide wash cloths

The room had everything the business traveler could need and the apartment was very, very spacious. The only issue was a security warning from the Internet browser that the hotel was using. Otherwise the room was spotless and the staff very accomodating.
