Citadines Apart'hotel Barbican London

Quite a good value stay during the Christmas holiday season. The room was spacious and clean, with nothing really to complain about. However, the room lacked amenities, requiring us to request them separately from reception, which isn’t ideal for a hotel in this price range. On the plus side, this hotel is very convenient, easily accessible from Farringdon Station on the Elizabeth Line, making it a direct route to Heathrow.

This apart-hotel is conveniently located near Barbican metro station in a very quiet area. The location is excellent, with a couple of pubs and supermarkets nearby, including Waitrose, and it’s within walking distance of St. Paul’s, the Barbican Centre, Holborn, and other central areas. The bathroom was decent, spacious and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The rest of the room felt a little crowded; for example, there were three chairs, and reducing it by one might have made the space feel less cramped. That said, the room had everything you might need, including washing-up liquid, cutlery, crockery, glasses, and cooking utensils. The price was reasonable. One of the best features is the coffee machine in the basement, which offers fresh coffee beans, hot chocolate, and other drinks anytime. If you run low on supplies like toilet paper or towels, there’s a convenient spot next to the gym where you can replenish them. We couldn't try breakfast as the bar was temporarely closed. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely stay here again.

Citadines Barbican London is very well located, within easy walking distance of St Paul’s Cathedral (around 15 minutes) and close to Barbican and Farringdon stations. The area is quiet, especially in the evenings, which is a big plus after a long day of sightseeing.|The rooms are clean, warm, and comfortable, with good soundproofing, so noise is not an issue. We appreciated being able to check in early, which made arrival much smoother.|One thing to note is that daily housekeeping is not provided for short stays (we stayed two nights). However, fresh towels are available on request, so this was not a major inconvenience.|Overall, Citadines Barbican offers good value for money in a central London location. It’s a solid choice for travelers who want a calm, well-connected base and don’t mind limited housekeeping for short stays.

Booked this hotel as it is situated near a venue we were attending and has some on site parking (pre pay £35 for 24hrs) which is a rarity in Central London. A great room price too booked through super.com. Hotel check in was easy and staff very helpful and pleasant and was given a free upgrade to a studio. Well equipped room, very clean, superb shower area and very quiet and a good night sleep. All round great stay and will book again if in this area of London.

We stayed here for 2 nights during our London trip. The location was excellent, just a short walk from both Barbican and Farringdon stations. Our room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was surprisingly large for London standards. We didn’t notice any noise from the street, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!

We stayed 4 nights here and we enjoyed our stay overall. Compared to average British standards, this hotel is not any better or worse; however, we did not feel that this is a 4-star establishment at all - rather a 3 star or youth hostel.|Even though the Studio felt outdated, we had everything (kitchenette, daylight, comfy bed, decent bathroom) we needed. The only negative I would mention is the thin walls, which often made us hear others - luckily, our sleep was not affected).|It has to be mentioned that we sent some requests regarding our Studio before arrival and we felt that these were seriously taken into consideration regarding the room allocation, for which we are grateful!|Overall, we felt that the money we paid was way more than the value we gained. It is very expensive, but again, it is London, and we guess it is just how it is...

Overall experience was really very poor and disappointing; definitely not 4-stars service standard! Membership perk is definitely a scam! The membership benefits that were promoted as part of the booking were not honored. The late check-out and complimentary laundry service were clearly stated as perks of the membership benefits; however, neither was fulfilled during the stay. This felt misleading and highly disappointing, as these benefits influenced the decision to book with CapitaLand Ascott Citadines Barbican London. In addition, the young reception team at both check-in and check-out appeared very inexperienced, impolite and unprofessional. The staff seemed unsure of the membership benefits which resulted in the confusion. This lack of professionalism further diminished the overall experience. Was also not informed in person by the reception at check-in about the additional breakfast charges and the weekly housekeeping arrangement. These important details should have been clearly communicated in person at check-in to avoid misunderstandings! Given the multiple service shortcomings by the staff and lack of transparency, regret to say that I would not recommend this accommodation at London nor consider staying at this accommodation in London again in the future! Hope this feedback is taken seriously and the issues raised is reviewed with CapitaLand Ascott Singapore Management to improve the service standards!

We chose this venue because it was the perfect location for an event at the Barbican. The reception, communal areas and our room were all very clean, and the room itself was extremely well-equipped. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the free coffee was a lovely bonus. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend Citadines Barbican.

Stayed in a Studio for a week and it was a pleasant experience. Booked direct and managed to get an early check-in as an ASR Silver member. Check-in was a breeze and the front desk agent went over the property, including the weekly housekeeping, complimentary Grab & Go breakfast for being Silver, along with the additional amenities located in the Laundrette. The serviced apartment building was secure, requiring a key card to enter the lobby along with the lifts. My studio facing the rear was very quiet and featured air conditioning which was perfect for the heatwave where it got up to 30C during the day... The studio was compact with usable water pressure in the handheld shower. There was a bottle of body wash cum shampoo along with a mini bar of soap inside the loo. The closet featured a digital safe along with an extra blanket and ironing board. The kitchen was fully equipped with crocket, hood, convectional oven, and mini fridge. There was also a glass bottle of water along with a small biscuit on the kitchen counter upon entry. The staff also left a personalized computer typed note welcoming me along with a few mini packs of Jelly Bellies, a nice touch. The TV featured mainly British channels with little to no International Business channels that I could locate. There was also Chromecast that was integrated with the TV. The bed was comfortable with a relatively firm mattress. The windows were able to be opened and would disable the A/C. Wifi was complimentary and reliable The Laundrette in the basement was scheduled using the app and had wipes next to the washing machine. A £5 load of laundry includes detergent and conditioner dispensed from the machine. The dryer was £4/load. Reservations for the single set of machines are done via the WeWash app. There's also a laundromat directly across the street too. The serviced apartment was very close to the Barbican tube station, a mere 3 minute walk. There are also grocery stores, cafes, and barber shops along the way to the station too. The complimentary Latte machine in the lobby was convenient!

This is not a hotel. It's a room to rent for a few days, which means they don't make up your room during the stay. Tip: make sure you lock in you rates early. They fluctuate by the hour and can increase $100 depending on the day. This place is definitely overpriced in my opinion. There is, however, a decent cafe on the first floor where you can get a proper breakfast

Between my husband's work travel and a few besties being abroad, London is my official second home. When a place needs to feel like home, you need not just amenities, but also creature comforts. The Citadines Barbican is a true apart-hotel, and I love staying here. It truly is the best of both worlds. Things worth noting: +The cafe/mini grocery/wine bar downstairs is fab +Though the cleaning folks only come once per week, the hotel is excellent at bringing up extras of things you might need, grabbing your garbage from outside your door, etc. +This hotel is seconds from Barbican Station +Museum of London, Smithfield Market, Cheapside shopping, Exmouth Market is all under 15 minutes walking +St Paul's Cathedral, Paul's Walk, Millennium Bridge, Tate Modern, Globe Theatre is all under 30 minutes walking

Checked in early today - no hassle, got there before 2pm and they let me check in just fine. I'm here for a week on business and wanted to try something different (was tired of the Crowne Plaza at Blackfriars - way too overpriced for the services on offer). So far so good. The room is a good size, spotlessly clean, good sized shower (I'm from the US so we KNOW our showers!). Very professional front desk staff - very helpful - they have loaned me a travel adaptor and helped me jury rig something to work with my Apple notebook. 10/10 so far.

Traveled here on business. Hotel was okay breakfast was good. Clean. Staff was friendly. Located within walking distance to the tube station.I didn't like the fact that when I ran out of toilet tissue I had to go to the store to purchase it because it is not provided by the hotel. No housekeeping service as a standard feature, I believe you have to pay extra for that. The kitchen was useful. Overall, it was an okay stay.

Very nice rooms, simple kitchen area and massive smart TV. Refurbished recently. Nice and cool in reception when I walked in. The cafe (called source) serves very nice breakfasts including avocado.

The room was okay, quiet, and clean upon arrival, and wifi was indeed free (and worked), hence the two stars. Here are a few things to note: They do not clean the rooms, regarding them as "apartments" without any of the conveniences of an apartment (it really was just a small hotel room lacking even a desk); breakfast, which cost £10 paid in advance, was a voucher for "up to" that same £10 to be used in the coffee shop (ie, there is no "breakfast" at the hotel); registration was a bit bizarre, taking more than 30 minutes as attention was turned to whoever came through the door next, leaving a crowd of us to sort things out. In short, this is a no frills, low budget hotel for a high price. Not recommended.
