As I was attending a trainin course not too far away in Old Broad St, this hotel seemed like a great idea given there is a kitchen, fridge and reasonable sized TV. I had seen on the website that the bed was a fold out sofa bed so no surprises. But what I didn't expect was for the room to... more

Great little hotel, ideally situated close to the Barbican, with the tube station only 2 minutes' walk away. Room was clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable and hotel staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend, especially because it's affordable. It's not lavish or luxurious, but it's a perfect bolthole for a weekend in the city. Only caveat: breakfast is NOT free.... more

If you want luxury then Citadines isnt that but if you want comfort on a budget then this is ideal. Room was clean, had fridge, microwave, flat screen telly, DVD player and free ethernet broadband access which was good for connecting to the office via VPN. Also a safe to store valuables in. Bed is of the rollaway type but... more

I booked a 2 bed apartment in the hotel. We arrived on an early flight, headed straight to the hotel and they checked us in at 11 0'clock eventhough check in is 2 o'clock. We also left our luggage in a luggage room in hotel for the whole day (no charge) when we checked out. The location of the hotel... more

The Citadines would have definitely got 5 stars from me if it hadn't been for the rude staff. I stayed here at the weekend with 6 friends. We had 3 rooms, 121 and 117 which were studio apartments and 604 which was a one bed apartment. PROS - *All the rooms were clean and modern. The furnishings, crockery and appliances... more

Stayed here twice now, comact studio apartment. Twin beds not very comfortable but OK. Small kitchen, larger bathroom (maybe they should swith them around !), clean and all the basics you would expect. Was amazed to be told my £88 rate was exlusive of VAT and had to pay £104 in total. It probably did say 'subject to VAT' or... more

My first stay at Citadines - the one in Goswell Road - was an unusual experience. I arrived one hour before my partner, whose plane was delayed into City Airport. Since he had made the reservation, and he was not there with me at reception, the guy on duty stiffed me for an entire night's stay from my credit card... more

Having read the Citadines website there were no suprises. Check in/out was fine, efficient and no problems- this was the only time I spoke to the staff, or saw any. Room: oven,hob,fridge dishwasher and utensils all supplied. Bathroom was ok, everything worked and the water was hot. There did not appear to be any air-con controls, but the temperature was... more

Having read some of the reviews I too wanted to set the record straight. I stayed there from May 11 through to May 19 2007 and found the hotel, accommodations and services exactly as advertised. This was a holiday with my 14 year old daughter and it met all expectations. The room was clean (perhaps a bit dated but not... more
