We were staying one night only. But everything was all good so I would definitely recommend it or come again myself. Enough space, clean, close to a tube station...

Overall Good but...

Cons: Soundproofing, mattress protector and pillows
We enjoyed our stay overall. The rooms are very new and modern. Small but clean. The reception is nice and new. However our room (305) was facing the street, and the windows had VERY BAD soundproofing, it was hard to sleep with the constant street noise so I had to buy earplugs. The doors to the corridor are also paper thin and you can hear every step in the hallway, which woke me up several times every night. In addition to this, I was disappointed that the mattress protector was not big enough for the mattress, which meant 20 cm of the mattress was exposed. The pillows were also rock hard and very uncomfortable. To be honest, I would expect more from a newly renovated hotel. Not sure if I would return due to the bad night's sleep.

Hello Clemens, Thank you for the detailed review in regard to your recent stay at Citadines Barbican London. Your review raised some very concerning points, I appreciate you bringing them to our attention. I was disappointed to read that we failed you in numerous areas, please accept my sincere apologies for the problems you experienced during your stay. I will personally take up the issues that you have raised, to ensure they are rectified. Your experience does not reflect the high standards of service we endeavour to provide, but you could have asked our reception team to change your room which they could have done immediately. I do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and restore your faith in us through a successful experience. Kind Regards, Iman T

Beautiful refurbishment

The hotel has obviously recently been refurbished. The room we had was a studio and it was lovely. Clean, fresh and modern with everything we needed. Bed smelt very clean and was cosy. Will definitely stay here again
