196 Bishopsgate - London

The 196 is almost a good place to stay. However, staying on the fifth floor with an elevator that was out of service is pretty ugly. We arrived late on the first night and had a very difficult time finding someone to check us in! The rollaway bed was fairly low quality.

Great location and apartment. Only downside was the elevator which wasn't working.

The location was great. The staff went out of their way to help. Would certainly recommend it to friends who wish to visit London.

This apartment is in a great location. This is a safer area of London. Right across from liverpool street station with several places to eat and a grocery store within 2 blocks. Overall these are nice apartments very clean With air conditioning. We had no problems.

We enjoyed the great location of this hotel. It is well appointed and the staff was amiable and helpful. The beds and pillows were fairly new and comfortable, the restroom and kitchen very modern.

Excellent East London Location, nice facility and quality staff. Would definetly recommend this to any London travelers.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel exceeded our expectations. We arrived late at night (3 adults + 2 children) and were greeted by a wonderful staff. Having this apartment is the way to go to enjoy London. There is a grocery store just down the street and Liverpool Station across the street. The London Bridge is just blocks away and wonderful pubs are everywhere. The staff […] is always there to help with all questions and also planned an early morning taxi pickup to airport. Read more

This is the perfect hotel for families especially for longer stays. I love the fact that it has a full kitchen and it is situated right across Liverpool St. Tube station. Tesco grocery is so close and many convenience stores are right there. Will definitely stay here again. :)

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great place to stay for business or tourist trip. Many saving by using the Kitchen which is well equipped. The place is also well located and is with no doubts less expensive than a 4 starts hotel. The staff was very friendly and the place is very clean. Overall I will definitely get back there in my next visit.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Even though the hotel is in the heart of the city, the room was pleasingly quiet. The location is excellent and right across the street from the tube. For anyone who wants to dine in, the facilities are great and there's a market virtually right next door.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Pleasant enough to stay again. eater did not work all the time and though the staff was pleasant to repair quickly the repair did not last and the heater continued to fail. Small shower. Appliances worked and if you want ot save a bit convenient access to Tesco for food. Good access to Central line

We enjoyed our stay at 196 Bishopsgate! It was very close to our daughter's dorm and a tube stop! Plenty of good restaurants in the vacinity and shopping at Spitalfields outdoor market. Except for our dryer not working and the inconvience associated with this problem, our stay was uneventful. Staff is friendly, professional and accomodating ( we arrived […] early for check-in and they rushed the preperation of our room and housed our luggage while we met our daughter for breakfast.) We would choose 196 Bishopsgate again! Read more

Perfect location since Liverpool station serves as one of the main Stansted Express destinations. Right in the center of the city close to everything. We were also upgraded to another room for free upon arrival. Considering everything you get: great price, very spacious, and accommodating. Only thing I noticed was that the shower door was broken and […] the water barely got warm enough in our room. Read more

196 Bishopsgate was convenient and the price on Hotels.com made it fit my budget. I was expecting more from the accommodations. I got the studio, which was quite roomy with a bedroom, living room and bathroom. Everything was clean and comfortable but I have a couple of issues. 1. There was no blackout screen for the window. Even though there were blinds, […] I found it too bright in the room to sleep. 2. There was only liquid soap in the bathroom. I would have preferred real soap. 3. There were no washcloths in the bathroom. I use one for the shower and shaving, so I had to use a whole towel. 4. The couch was old and worn. This didn’t really matter to me since I don’t spend any time in the room other than sleeping, but I thought YOU should know. Read more

I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone, very roomy, clean, great location (across from Liverpool Street Station), nearby restaurants and all for a very reasonable price for London.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is ideal for busy travellers as it is close to Railway and underground; there are restaurants nearby which stay open until 1 am and there is a 24 hour diner in the same block. Wonderful space with full top of the line kitchen (and Tescos also 2 minutes walk away) great wi fi. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Excellent residence hotel. Ideal for a working visit to London. Very clean. Very comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Try 196 Bishopsgate. A serviced apartment beats a hotel room for more than a night or two; just bring your coffee pot!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Pros: Great location - practically across the street from the Liverpool tube station - steps away from the City, and a tube ride to sightseeing Clean rooms - was in a one-bedroom apartment, small but efficient with a full kitchen (with a Tesco just down the street can easily prepare quick meals) Friendly staff - the concierge was helpful and friendly Cons: A […] bit loud at night - there are several pubs in the vicinity, the walls offered little sound insulation Read more

Hotelroom was spacious and well equipped. However I was sleeping at the streetside and the (traffic)noise was too much. (busstop underneath the windows) So if you book this hotel and you're a mid to light sleeper, make sure you're not located on the streetside.

The hotel is excellent choice for a family with two teens. It is right cross the street from theLiverpool underground station thus easy access to every corner of London. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Tiny entrance hidden behind bus stop. Elevator broken "for weeks." Four floors to walk up with kids and luggage, hot, oppressively stuffy rooms. Window did not open - "that has to be arranged over the next several days!" No top sheets, no chest of drawers for clothing. Sirens blaring in streets all night long.

I booked 2 apartments for a hen party weekend. The apartments were very clean and comfy and were great for entertaining a large party. The apartment was also opposite Liverpool Street Station which made it very convenient. Beware though I initially booked for 5 adults in each room but when I rang the hotel a few days before my stay to double check the […] extra bed in the rooms, I was told I would have to pay £50 per bed per room extra. This meant 2 of my friends had to stay elsewhere, as it was too much extra to pay especially as I was only told a couple of days before. All in all though the apartments are very nice. Read more

Spacious apartment right in the heart of the City. Particularly good if staying more than one night. Has every convenience like washing machine, iron, fully equipped kitchen etc. Free wifi as well. Only downside is that rooms overlooking street can be noisy.

Apartment was ok, common parts of hotel could do with a freshen up, not much in the way of facilities, but comfortable base in good location. Room was very clean

Excellent location & easy to find. Checked in swiftly, unfortunately there is only 1 (small) lift so can take some time for it to arrive! We stayed on the 3rd floor & room was very clean. Very spacious kitchen with all amenities, dining table was next to the bed & no separate seating area which is a shame. We didn't use room service, so can't comment. […] Wi-Fi available & free of charge. Unfortunately we seem to have been put near a late night bar/club so could hear music & shouting. Read more

The location of the hotel was perfect for our stay. The two bedroom apartment we rented was spacious for 3 people and we enjoyed being able to cook meals on some evenings. Front desk staff were very helpful and cleaning staff were great- did dishes we had left one day which we did not expect. On the downside- apartment is stuffy and dank and due to […] location and poor windows very noisey. Read more

Great size to the bedroom and adjoining lounge. Separate kitchen and bathroom. All fixtures and fittings seemed new and the room was very clean.

The room I had was a very pleasant appartment and was clean and well equipped. Sadly though the rooms at the front of this hotel suffer dreadully from road noise as the hotel is on one of London's busiest roads. It desperately needs proper double glazing installed in these rooms or at least some very heavy curtains.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Shower room a little compact, bed on castors slips on wooden floor. Otherwise good value for money.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very clean, modern and spacious. Excellent location and very helpful friendly staff. Really impressed.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of the apartments is second to none, right in the heart of the City. We were on a weekend trip and could easily and conveniently get around either via Liverpool Street station (opposite the apartment) or on foot - St Paul's, Millenium Bridge, Tate Modern. Apartment was excellent, large, spacious and comfortable. We had a problem with […] the hot water going off after only one of us had a shower but the staff immediately offered us another apartment (we declined, we loved our view) or use of the staff facilities (which we used). Service was good. Read more
