Location was perfect for a reception we were to attend at Trinity House. Price was extortionate for the room we had. Check in staff lacked any real interest in you as a guest - just went through the motions

Currently staying here at the Apex City of London Hotel celebrating our 25th anniversary. What started off and had all the initial makings of a superb stay rapidly deteriorated into a disaster. Firstly I must add that we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco which was a lovely touch. However, the first morning we arrived promptly at our allotted time for breakfast to be greeted with a very stern and abrupt woman who shouted at us that breakfast was only continental because we have no gas. As we had paid for breakfast we decided to carry on and have the continental. Well, I know what a continental breakfast is and this was certainly not it. More like prison breakfast. Some form of slop in a baking dish passed off as Bircher, some cheese and cereals. It took 30 minutes and four requests to get coffee. That evening we spoke to reception who assured us that breakfast was back on in the morning and that the issue of no gas was all sorted. Yes you guessed it, the next morning the same abrupt lady was waiting for us to give us the good news in her lovely manner, no hot breakfast only continental. With that we turned around and headed for the high street to find our own. We left the hotel at around 9:15/9:30 and returned at 3:30 pm to find our room in the same state that we left it even though we left the please clean our room card hanging on the door handle. We still have another night here so watch this space for the next instalment. If I had driven and not used the train I think that we definitely would contemplate leaving early.…

The room size and amenities is better than what I have experienced in London so far. Very good located. Breakfast experience was lovely. I don’t use the gym but it looked clean and with modern equipment. Staff at the reception was very helpful.

Booked a junior suite for a trip over Thanksgiving (from the US). Everything was better than expected. The prepaid breakfast was a great deal. All of the front desk staff was wonderfully friendly and accommodating. The bedding and robes were very comfortable. The included water, tea, snacks were very welcomed. The hotel went above beyond to move us to accommodate something that was outside their control. Will definitely stay here next time we're in the area. Looking forward to seeing their great service again.
