The apartments' location across from Liverpool train station is its best feature. Just down the street is a Tesco. Both features make it an ideal location for the independent traveller. Spitalfields is just 2 blocks away for some chain restaurants. The rooms are clean and functional. The kitchen was very handy for breakfast and our occasional take-out dinners. We did... more

196 Bishopsgate is very well located for transportation around London and for doing business in the city. The two-bedroom apartment was spacious; bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. Young staff is extremely helpful and friendly. No problem with checking/storing bags when we arrived in London early. Although the apartment had all major appliances, the kitchen had neither a coffee maker nor... more

I stayed at this apt hotel for 10 days at the beginning of Sept. In general, my 1 bedroom apt was nice. The furnishings and appliances all looked spotless or new and everything was clean. As other reviewers have mentioned, the location is great. I mostly used the bus system and there are plenty of bus connections within 1 block.... more

My (grown) family stayed in two apartments, both facing Bishopsgate Street. The hotel is an easy walk to the Liverpool Street Underground, and a block from a grocery store (the apartments have nice kitchens). The street is fascinating to watch, with many upscale young business men and women, all smartly dressed and very cosmopolitan. There were several pubs and restaurants... more

We arrived 4 hours before check in to see if we could leave our bags there while we went sight seeing and they let us check in early and were given a one bed apartment instead of the studio aparment we had booked. 196 Bishopsgate is a fantastic place to stay. I have only ever stayed in hotels in the... more

We based ourselves here for the marathon weekend as I was running it and wanted facilities to prepare my own food, as what I ate was really important. We were upgraded which instantly put us in a good mood, and we weren't disappointed when we got to our room either. The finish was great we had a balcony and a... more

Flats are nice and bed is comfy but the experience is really overshadowed by arrogant and incompentent staff. I had to make a change in my booking to shorten my stay, something I did within the required 24 hours cancellation time. When I checked out in the morning of my last day, I had to pay the full stay, being... more

The apartment's living room/diner was airy and spacious - a very nice room in which to work and eat. Plumbing was poor: cheap fittings, drain which barely worked; feeble shower. Bedrooms were cramped. But location is terrific: 50 metres from Liverpool Street station. Decent value and incredibly convenient. Worth visiting for these reasons alone. more
