My (grown) family stayed in two apartments, both facing Bishopsgate Street. The hotel is an easy walk to the Liverpool Street Underground, and a block from a grocery store (the apartments have nice kitchens). The street is fascinating to watch, with many upscale young business men and women, all smartly dressed and very cosmopolitan. There were several pubs and restaurants... more

We arrived 4 hours before check in to see if we could leave our bags there while we went sight seeing and they let us check in early and were given a one bed apartment instead of the studio aparment we had booked. 196 Bishopsgate is a fantastic place to stay. I have only ever stayed in hotels in the... more

196 Bishopsgate London Myself and my husband have just returned from a weekend in London, we were visiting our son who is in college in Loughton so we need somewhere convient to Liverpool street station. I chose 196 Bishopsgate as I felt it meet our needs. I was by no means dissapointed. We checked in after 9 0 clock the... more

We based ourselves here for the marathon weekend as I was running it and wanted facilities to prepare my own food, as what I ate was really important. We were upgraded which instantly put us in a good mood, and we weren't disappointed when we got to our room either. The finish was great we had a balcony and a... more

Flats are nice and bed is comfy but the experience is really overshadowed by arrogant and incompentent staff. I had to make a change in my booking to shorten my stay, something I did within the required 24 hours cancellation time. When I checked out in the morning of my last day, I had to pay the full stay, being... more

The apartment's living room/diner was airy and spacious - a very nice room in which to work and eat. Plumbing was poor: cheap fittings, drain which barely worked; feeble shower. Bedrooms were cramped. But location is terrific: 50 metres from Liverpool Street station. Decent value and incredibly convenient. Worth visiting for these reasons alone. more

Just wanted to write a few words to emphasise what good value this place represents; have stayed here twice, once on a Friday night and once on a Saturday and Sunday. On a weekday night the noise is appreciably louder due to the areas large workforce and if you are unduly troubled by a little street noise then a room... more

This was very accurately described as an "aparthotel". As a traveling family of 5 with an infant coming from America, we had a great overall stay at this location! Only a few issues (read on)... First, it's a stone's throw from the Liverpool Street Tube stop. The financial district which it's in is actually a very up and coming enjoyable... more

My friend booked several apartments here for her birthday and we had a great time. It makes a change from a hotel room, and is especially beneficial if you're having guests over before you head out on the town or if you're staying more than one night. The location of the apartments can be a good or bad thing depending... more
