Top Barbican Centre Hotel Reviews

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Lovely and clean. Exactly what you want for somewhere to shower and sleep as a base"

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is ideal for the theatre. Single room was big enough for a walk in shower in the en-suite. In the room desk, wardrobe, safe and tea/coffee pod machine and tv and window. Carpet in bedroom and crisp linens. Spotless. Vending machines and reusable water bottle. It was busy and there were other guests enjoying themselves. Very comfortable. Very convenient. Lots nearby."

Royal National Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property"

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

8/10 Good

"Location was the best thing about this property. I suggest for solo travellers to book a double pod because the single pod is tiny. I was very glad I booked a double pod for myself and I was surprised to find that it was a double (it really felt like a single); I can’t imagine how small the single pods are. There is no fridge in the hotel, and there is only one towel and one pair of slippers. If you want more you have to pay. No room service of course as it’s just a small pod. The staff were helpful and friendly. Location is heart of soho. You will hear people going in and out. You’ll hear door slamming. I find the room to also be somewhat on the colder side. There is a thermostat in the pod but it can only go up (or down) to a certain degree, then it locks. I also suggest bring your own slippers. The showers can be extremely wet and then all the waters spills into the washroom area. Check washroom stalls before you go in as I found some were left without toilet paper for days."

"Had a great time"

The Z Hotel Shoreditch

citizenM Tower of London

The Hoxton, Shoreditch

8/10 Good

"La chambre est très petite sans commodité pour le travail à distance mais bien dans son ensemble"
