I have now stayed here pretty much every week for the last four months on business on a weekly basis. Reading the other reviews some seem to miss the point of what you can expect for the price in this city. All the rooms are pretty much the same. They are not huge, but are well equipped and the staff... More

Nicely presented, well located. The bedrooms have sofabeds, which was weird at first. However, they are very comfortable, as are the pillows. Recommended. More

Booked through late rooms and had a little discount off the walk-in price - brilliant value. Even if you're not going to cook, it's great to have a proper fridge and crockery. Little things like a drying rack over the bath, ironing board, iron, hair dryer ... All the usual stuff is there ... Tea coffee, etc to get you... More

I'd walked past this Hotel many times as its near to one of my London clients offices and decided I'd give it a try when next overnighting there. A bit different to the usual hotel stay as you walk in the room and there's no bed (however, lots of space ala appartment style) then seeing the fold away I thought... More

You get what you pay for at the Citadines. Basic studio apartment style rooms furnished with cheap but sturdy and functional furniture. It reminded me of student accommodation at a university. I had a pull out sofa bed in my room (relatively comfortable). Rooms are serviced once a week only unless you ask (and pay) for additional service ahead of... More

Was really unhappy to find that the room advertised as a studio double isn't a double but a sofa bed and a pop up bed..... Not impressed. The room was small and in need of re-decorating. Bathroom was nice and clean with a good shower though. More
