Apex City Of London Hotel - London 51.51069, -0.07921

Stayed in Dec 2009 for vacation. Great hotel, spacious, clean, modern looking. Nice little touches like free bottle of water everyday and free wifi. Great service, very polite and helpful front desk. Seems like the climate control wasn't too effective, I could never get the room warm enough. Location wise is OK given the ease of access to the tube, but most famous sites are on the western side of London. Only major tourist site close by is the Tower Bridge and Tower of London. Lots of the restaurants around this area of town do not serve dinner in the evenings, only drinks, caters to the office workers during happy hour.

Great location for the city, although it can be quiet in the area on the weekend.

perfect ! everything is wonderful ! the service is excellent ! every staff in this hotel is very helpful ! nothing to complaint !! i will come back next time if i travel to london again.

It was very convenient for sightseeing up to parliament square , st.Pauls, Tower Bridge and T of L. Very tucked away but close to cheap pub and nice food restaurant. Close to tube. Could walk along river to lots of places. Very good service, very helpful people. Will stay again.

Excellent staff, perfect room, great location.

Hotel located in a great location for a short stay or for sightseeing. Common areas were very clean and had recently been refurbished. Limited extra amenities & sterile appearance. Staff reserved ( typical for British ), but helpful. Breakfast available, but vastly over-priced. Room size was adequate and very clean. Handicap-accessible. Few nearby restaurants. Reasonable access to public transportation, but obtaining tickets and passes was an adventure. Overall, we were pleased and would recommend this hotel to others.

Everything about this hotel is great with exception of one thing: during the night the HVAC turns off so unless you manually turn it on the room will become a bit stifling. The service is excellent and the location is superb (next to everything but not overrun by tourists). The rooms are clean and well appointed.

This is a very nice hotel with nice comfy rooms and very friendly staff. Rooms are reasonably large. There isn't much room to stretch out, but there's a nice sofa, coffee table and work station. Bathroom is great, with both a shower cabin and tub. Nice bathroom amenities as well. Wi-fi was not working for me (they were fixing it), but there was ethernet connection in the room, so I was fine. This time around, I was in London on business, but I would definitely stay at Apex for a vacation holiday. It was close to the business center and some tourist spots (which I couldn't visit, thanks to my schedule). Recommended, and I would go back if I have an opportunity.

the room i got was a budget room. meaning its in the basement. no window. so if you like to get back and sleep and watch a little tv, then budget is good. it was fine for us. we would get up leave all day and come back sightseeing and get ready for bed. the only benefit of a window is to look at what the weather is outside to prepare according. over all the hotel was great. nice gym. flat screen tv in the room. free wi-fi, very modern, bathroom had everything you needed. quiet. and close to the tube.

We were in London for a concert in the O2 which was subsequently cancelled. The hotel is really lovely with very comfortable and clean rooms. The location is near a tube station but the surrounding shops all close at the weekend it is located in the financial district. Would definitely stay there again though.

Overall, the hotel was beautiful and modern and our room was great. However, the bed was not that comfortable (you could feel the coils when you were laying down) and the despite their advertising a "pillow menu", when I asked for an alternative to the down pillow I had in the room, I was told the only other pillow they could find was the sofa pillow wrapped in a pillow case. (Which was not an improvement). The room service options were limited and pricey. However, despite a 2pm check in time, we were given our room keys when we arrived at 10am.

Have stayed at the Apex on a number of occasions and it never fails to meet our expectations. The rooms are well equipped, clean and modern in decor. In particular the bathrooms are a real treat, with large showers, separate bath and plenty of space. One of the first hotels I try and book if I need to stay in London. The staff were very helpful and happily stored luggage for us after we had checked out, to enable us to go sight-seeing without haveing to lug bags around.

Great place to stay, just steps away from the Tower of London and a stop for the Big Bus Tour (best way to see the city). The location and staff were amazing and I'd suggest the Apex to anyone.

This is the second time my wife and i have stayed here, A very good hotel,highly recomended.

We had a weekend trip planned and couldn't have expected a better place to stay. Its right in the centre close to a lot of the attractions and restaurants and bars. Food could be a bit pricey but overall a great place to stay.

Tucked away in the City of London, in quiet streets close to Fenchurch St, the Tower, St Katharine's Dock and within easy reach of any destination in the City of London this is a fantastic new hotel. Competitively priced in an area with few hotels this is worth every penny and much better than budget brands that cost almost as much. I did not have breakfast in the hotel - during the week there is no shortage of other venues for a good breakfast although this will be a little more difficult at the weekend. Great staff, clean new rooms which are well furnished in a modern style. There may be slightly cheaper places to stay in London but I'd challenge anyone to match the quality for the price.

This hotel is in a great location very close to the Tower Hill Tube Station. We were very happy with the room, especially with the size of the bed-king size.

This is an excellent small hotel and a great value.

This is an excellent hotel where care and attention is paid to ensure that the customer has an excellent experience. I stayed in one of the newer rooms which was spacious and comfortable. The standard of the accommodation and furnishings was far superior to most 4* hotels. I would be very happy to stay there again.

The staff were very friendly. The hotel looked brand new. The room was very good and the bed was large. One minor fault, there was very little storage for clothes. This isn't an issue if you're only staying a couple of days.

We stayed in the new part of the Hotel this was of a very high standard and would happily return.

This was our second stay at the hotel and although we didn't have a roof terrace like last time the room was still very smart and immaculately clean. We had a huge, and incredibly comfortable double bed, as well as a lounge area with a sofa and desk. The bathroom had a good sized bath and a large walk in power shower. The whole room was very clean and well lit, unlike the bedroom, which could do with extra lighting. The 'mood lighting' was very nice except when trying to get ready to go out. The sockets weren't close enough to the mirror to enable me to straighten my hair which was awkward. We stayed two nights and on the first night our air conditioning didn't work so the room was swelteringly hot as we were unable to open the windows. We told reception the next morning but when we returned that evening it still hadn't been fixed so we told reception again and they sorted it for us then and there. Altogether a really smart hotel in a nice location next to the Tower of London and very close to the tube station. We would definitely use it again.

Good location, quiet and a real find in the City. Have stayed here several times as we prefer staying outside the West End but only ten minutes away by bus/tube. The only criticism is the lack of good lighting in the rooms and the main mirror never has a power point next to it.

Found the Apex to be a great little boutique hotel in the City. Friendly staff, great room, clean and quiet. Better than expected!

Great location next to the Tower of London. We were able to take the tube (Tower Hill)or just a short 400m walk to take the Thames Clipper boat to Westminster on the River Thames. Room was super clean and comfortable with unexpected extras: 1. Great bathroom and huge shower with huge bottles of spa products - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion - that smelled great; 2. Even a speaker in the bathroom, so bring CDs and you can listen to either the TV or CDs/DVDs while you freshen up; 3. Probably 50 DVD titles to watch if you are bored (ie bad weather, can't sleep, etc.) for free 4. Very comfortable bed and super clean everywhere 5. Almost a loft like feel with no hint of any cheap hotel furniture anywhere Across the street is a big pub serving breakfast at reasonable prices with a huge menu. There are also grocery stores a 5 minute walk away where you can get pop, etc. and avoid paying a fortune in the tourist areas. This place is a sure thing; I won't stay anywhere else when I am in London.

-Very close to Tower of London -Accommodations were very clean, staff courteous, and shower hot! -Pistachio & Cherry Creme Brulee at restaurant was a must! -Located close to Tower Hill Underground Tube stop

Huge Bed, clean, flat screen TV, great bathroom, very swanky!

Very clean and well equipped hotel close to the Tower of London and St. Pauls. Easy subway stop nearby. Good price. Only disadvantage is that it is away from the major sites of the city.

My room was small but had everything I needed. High quality feel. Lovely bathroom. Individual touches such as pictures and your own duck in the bathroom. Towels are a decent size, room service was delicious and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

From the moment we arrived at the hotel the staff were falling over themselves to help us in any way possible. We were only staying one night, but wished we had stayed for a longer period. The bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room service was sublime and the attendents were first class. The hotel is situated just a few minutes from Tower Hill and could not be easier to find. Just 10 minutes from cental London, i advise anyone looking for a hotel in London to pick the Apex. I have not stayed in a hotel that comes close to the standard of the Apex hotel.

The room was stylish, comfortable and quiet. The location was good, near the tube and a short walk along the river to lots of bus stops.

Hotel is a good location for London, right by the Tower of London but please note all the restaurants apart from Wagamas are shut on Saturday evenings! Ordered a non smoking room but unfortunately when we got there and entered our room the smell of smoke was overwhelming. Having complained we were told there were no other rooms available but they would try to get rid of the smell. This was only partially successful. Wouldn't chance another stay.

Everything about the hotel was excellent and very comfortable. And in an ideal location as well.

nicely tucked away, in the centre of London. A stones throw to the Tower of London and tube station. Also if you are staying over the weekend there is ample free road parking after 1.30pm

First off, it's in a fantastic location right by the Thames and across the road from the Tower of London. Slap bang in the middle of town but hidden away slightly so it feels quite peaceful. The staff were superb, friendly and courteous and couldn't do enough for us. The room was standard but comfy and clean (although our room was overlooked by an office block). Would definitely recommend staying here if you need a hotel in a good central location.

Hôtel agréable et calme. Propre et moderne. Personnel très aimable et à l'écoute. Petit déjeuner excellent. Mais le quartier est un quartier d'affaires avec peu de vie le soir et le week end. Hotel was nice et quiet, clean and modern. The hotel's staff was nice and obliging. Breakfast was very good. The only bad mark is the location which is dead calm during week ends or evenings. But you can rest.

Bonne situation, bonne équipe, bonne chambre!

Svært hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening Stilig hotel med romslig rom. Sentral beligenhet med kort vei til TowerHill Tubestation og lett å få tak i taxi.

Gute Lage, nähe DLR und UBahn-Station Tower Hill, relativ neu und modern eingerichtet. Auf das (kostenpflichtige) Frühstück kann man getrost verzichten, da sich in der Umgebung zahlreiche Cafee´s befinden. Ich kann dieses Hotel nur empfehlen.

Very good hotel, clean and with design touch. Friendly staff in reception. Got an upgrade on arrival to a very spacious room with lots of wood, more like a small apartment. High standard for the price, better than I expected.

Kort avstand til tuben, rent og pent med god romservice, stilfullt hotell med flott "chill-out" område, treningssal og barområde. Eneste ulempen var at vi ikke fikk mere enn 2 netter der før vi måtte haste videre!:) Så var frokosten noe dyr. Men et utmerket hotell for dem som verdsetter et stilrent hotell med avslappet atmosfære og rene hotellrom uten å bli ruinert!

Accueil très pro, chambre tout confort et salle de sport à disposition, hôtel bien desservi par le métro et le DLR, très bon rapport qualité / prix !

Har egentlig ikke noe negativt å si om dette hotellet, vi var 100% fornøyd med alt. Hotellet er moderne, koselig med veldig hyggelige ansatte. Hvis du skal bo i London for en grei pris så er dette hotellet for deg!

Prima comfortabel hotel, centraal gelegen naast de Tower. Attente bedieding, goede bedden, gratis draadloos internet. Klein minpuntje was dat de douche niet erg heet was.

Nice clean and quiet. Nothing negative to say about this hotell.

They had not put an extra bed in the room, even though I sent 2 mails about it. They wanted to upgrade to better room against payment to have room for extrabed, but finally upgraded us free of charge, good! They heavily recommended the breakfast at £15, but they shouldn't have. It was not worth a fiver, came 15 minutes before close, but there was nothing left and they just looked at us when we asked for bread..... Good city-location, nice enough rooms, good value! Stay away from the breakfast though

overraskende bra hotel, moderne, rent, rolig atmosfære, bra beliggenhet
