I'd walked past this Hotel many times as its near to one of my London clients offices and decided I'd give it a try when next overnighting there. A bit different to the usual hotel stay as you walk in the room and there's no bed (however, lots of space ala appartment style) then seeing the fold away I thought... More

You get what you pay for at the Citadines. Basic studio apartment style rooms furnished with cheap but sturdy and functional furniture. It reminded me of student accommodation at a university. I had a pull out sofa bed in my room (relatively comfortable). Rooms are serviced once a week only unless you ask (and pay) for additional service ahead of... More

Was really unhappy to find that the room advertised as a studio double isn't a double but a sofa bed and a pop up bed..... Not impressed. The room was small and in need of re-decorating. Bathroom was nice and clean with a good shower though. More

The main negative points are pull out sofa and bed sheets. Rooms are very small, not convenient for long stay. Staff is very helpful 24 hrs reception free internet... More

Steps to tube and in quiet area of the financial district. Walking distance to the historical cathedral district and its shops and restaurents. Hotel served it's purpose: was moderately priced for London, decent enough location and was clean. The pull out sofa though odd for a hotel turned out to be not bad on the comfort level. If you are... More

I stayed here 5 nights while on a business trip. The area is ok, not great, but the location to the tube was convenient. As a single woman traveling alone i felt the drop down bed was cumbersome for me to raise and let down each day so i finally kept it down making the living space in my room... More

Outside reception there is a very narrow pull-in (4' 3") to park your car,yellow lines run along the outside edge of this area. Whilst checking in (... More
