Yuck...dirty
I don't mind old hotels but I can't stand dirty ones. We arrived 3 nights ago. When I arrived I noticed some hair on the bathroom floor and some food on the floor. We tried to ignore it but when we pulled out the bed (the rooms don't have proper beds just foam sofa beds) the blanket was covered in numerous (20 or so) long hairs. It was disgusting. We rung reception who offered us either another blanket or a new room. We changed rooms. The hotel corridors smell like urine. The entrance to each room is also the entrance to another room so we have been woken several times by next door arriving and leaving. Being an apartment hotel our rooms were also not refreshed for the four nights we stayed nor did we get new towels for free) The hotel is a good location if you are working in the area but not really a great tourist area. It takes abot 30mins to walk to Oxford street from the hotel.

Amazing for price, comfort and location to be brief!
Went here for a short break in early September with my boyfriend. We had an excellent time. The rooms were spotless and modern and the kitchen had every tool you could ever think of, even down to a lemon juicer! The bed was a pull down so i was expecting minimal comfort but in reality it is comfier than my bed at home!! bigger than a double i am sure but then my boyfriend is quite slim! If i had to pick a bad point i'd say it was quite warm in the room, but i had read reviews before i went so i took my desk fan with and all was perfect. LCD TV and mood lighting really makes the stay a little bit more special as well. I I have read people complaining about the lack of space when the bed is down, fair the bed does take up a lot of room.. but how much floor space do you need when sleeping?! Service was more than fabulous as well.
I would go back here in a SHOT, really really close to tube station and shops are literally across the road from the hotel. Perfect location. Ask for a top floor room with a balcony, you can see the gherkin from there. All in all a really special place.

Citadines Barbican - comfortable and good location
Citadines Barbican was a rather good accomodation for my trip in London. Despite being in busy and not very cozy Goswell Road it's just blocks away from Clerkenwell (lovely part of town, with its Gastropubs and M&S Simply Food for food) and you can reach St Paul's on foot and catch any bus from there. Also it's few hundred meters away from Barbican Station, although we preferred the upper deck of buses to get around London... the view is certainly better!
Anyway, the place is good. Our apartment consisted of two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, all with recent furniture and two lcd TVs. The items which didn't work (the toaster and the shower) were immediately substituted the first day.
The bed in the bedroom was huge, much larger than normal double beds (at least in those in Italy) and the sofa bed was comfortable too and especially easy to pull out.
A small thing I didn't like was the very low ceilings, but instead from our apartment on the top floor there was a stunning view of the Barbican and of the Gherkin, too.
The people at the reception were very friendly, and they happen to come from many different countries: in our case we could spoke Italian with Francesca, while French guests would have found a young man called Romain!

Can't really compliment
Stayed there for three weeks while on a business trip. Was a convenient location and situated next to the Barbican tube station and a few minutes walk to liverpool and old street. Room also have high-speed internet.
Room was small for studio and the folded up bed doesn't leave much room for anything else. The aircon in my room was blowing loudly - called the service counter and they sent a technician but technician said he wasn't able to fix it and used towels to cover the air outlet to lower the noise and suggested opening the windows instead ! Ridiculous !
Room also did not have an ironing board and had to request for one. The safe deposit box was broken and again the technician had no clue how to fix it. After I left the hotel, the safe still wasn't fixed !
Room service wasn't always regular too and towels took irregular times to be replaced ! Probably they cater to suite room boarders first.
A few of the staff at the counter weren't exactly helpful or cheerful also. Putting board your luggage at the holding bay after you had checked out meant almost any other people who did that could have access to your baggage, no questions asked !
Wouldn't recommend for long term stay though.
