“Regular Visitor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Stayed at the Boundary again last month, it’s become my preferred hotel on visits to London.
The principal attraction to me are the “corner” rooms on each floor, These are large rooms with big windows on two sides, each is presented in the style of a different 20th century designer and, perhaps unsurprisingly given the Conran ownership, this is beautifully done. This is not design at the expense of function, the rooms are well equipped and to a high standard.
If you are looking for imposing public areas, you’re in the wrong place! Reception is a corridor with a desk in it, the basement bar largely services the hotels Restaurant (which I have never used but which seems to get good reviews).
On the ground floor is The Albion Café which fronts onto the street and includes a food shop and its own bakery. It is popular with the achingly trendy young people of Shoreditch which makes it a fun place to eat. It serves all day from breakfast to evening meals. The food is simple but good quality, well cooked and service is generally efficient and friendly.
Not relevant on a January visit but a real pleasure in the summer months is the “Rooftop” serving drinks and food al fresco. It can get very busy on warm days (and I mean queuing in the street busy) but hotel guests can usually be fitted in. I believe is being refurbished for next summer with more indoor space.
Looking forward to my next visit

“Horrendous! Avoid!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013 via mobile

This hotel is horrendous. Rude front of house with apalling attitudes. No hot water coming out bath! Breakfast saw the waiter scratching his dirty long hair then touching my toast with the same hand without washing. Had to ask 3 different waiters for a drink. Really noisy at night time. Like really noisy! I know people have said that's the sacrifice for the location but it isn't! Go and stay at the Hoxton round the corner instead for half the price and you get treated with courtesy by all staff where nothing is too much trouble. And it's super quiet! Amazing hot power showers! And the best are more comfortable.

It goes without saying I won't be staying at The Boundary again. Ever! And I reccomend no one else does either.

Dear Guest,

We apologize that you did not enjoy your stay. We did have a brief problem with the hot water, however it was at no point off for any length of time, but I understand the inconvienence caused. I am sorry that you felt so let down by the service provided and I would encourage you to email myself directly as I would like to know exactly what occured to make you write that our staff have appalling attitudes. I wish to apologise for your experience in Albion also.

Kind Regards
Tim Holloway

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

The Boundary has a great location in Shoreditch within a very young and trendy area that is fantastic to explore. It’s near the Spitafields market and has the best Indian restaurants in town. Our room was very spacious with great closet divisions for luggage and an incredible big soft bed. The style and design didn’t sacrifice the comfort. I really enjoyed browsing the selection of books and magazines they had.

In the desk draw I found all the gadgets I needed while traveling. The hotel even provided earplugs in case the street was too loud since there are various clubs around, which was not the case for me as I slept like a baby.

In the evening we were sent a delicious dessert, with compliments of the hotel from their cafe (nice touch!).

The mini bar was my favorite as they carry every fancy thing you could think of. It’s just fantastic - they even had milk. The bathroom was very stylish and had the best products for your skin. The room service was very fast. I requested an iron, which was brought up to the room in a flash.

The concierge was very attentive. I arrived in a nasty mood due to our luggage having been lost and she handled me so nicely and in a professional manner. I felt better instantly.

I regret not having enough time to go to the downstairs restaurant. It looked amazing! This place is fantastic. We were very pleased with our stay as it was worth every penny for the great comfort provided while away from home.

“Great Hotel & Restaurants in Shoreditch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

This unique restaurant and hotel building is an excellent place to stay and eat in east London. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and quiet. The idea that the rooms are managed separately from the restaurants allows each services to be managed expertly. The restaurants are all great - I only managed to eat in The Albion and had the best breakfasts ever in London. The bakery is wonderful - freshly baked specialty breads and savouries waft through the Albion restaurant and shop to tempt your senses.

The service and attention to detail in the rooms is first class. Newspapers in the morning and evenings are delivered with a tempting cake from the bakery. This is heaven as a place to base yourself in London - close to the overground line and within walking distance of great restaurants in Spitalfields and Brick Lane.

A novel idea - executed perfectly.

“Wonderful stay in a brilliant area of London”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012 via mobile

Just returned from a one night stay at the Boundary, which was wonderful. We were able to check in early (5 hours early) and were very happy to be told we had been upgraded from a corner room to a suite.

Rooms are lovely. Firm mattress, choice of pillows, lots of magazines, coffee machine, tea making facility, robes. Bathroom was wonderful - double sink, rolltop bath with excellent power shower, REN toiletries, gorgeous tiled floor. Best bath I've ever had.. The suite had an upstairs mezzanine and downstairs, where there was a chesterfield sofa, arm chair, dining table and chairs, desk etc. Two tvs in the room, one with Apple tv.

Location is excellent. Shoreditch is a great area for quirky shops and cafes, Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Columbia road flower market are a few streets away, and there are lots of bars if that's your thing. With that, there is some noise from the streets late at night, but this is London so unavoidable.

Breakfast at the Albion downstairs is lovely, although definitely not cheap. You are definitely paying to eat in a "trendy" hotspot.

Rooftop bar was closed during our stay.

What sets the hotel apart is excellent customer service. From the moment we checked in, the gentleman on reception was wonderful, and even allowed us to check out 2 hours later with no problem. It's this kind of attention that means I will definitely be back.
