Top Barbican Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow

8/10 Good

"Very close to the airport which was great for us!"

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

2/10 Terrible

"This was the single-worst hotel experience I have ever had. Ever, in life, and I'm a 45-year-old man. I rarely ever bother to provide a review of anything, but I feel like it's my sworn duty to warn people about this place. The room was subpar even by cheap roadside motel standards. The entire space looked like it had been assembled from Ikea furniture. The bed mattress looked and felt like something that had been taken out of a dumpster. There was no AC in the hotel, which was brutal during record-high May temperatures in the UK. The window would only crack open due to safety measures, and even then, I had to decide between leaving it shut and suffering the heat, or opening it and dealing with the insane noise outside that carried on until 3 a.m. I had booked this room for 2 nights, but it was such a miserable experience that I just ate the cost of the second night and moved to another hotel. It was very misleading because the lobby of the hotel is extremely nice and modern. Do yourself a favor and never go anywhere near this dump."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"You can’t beat the location. It’s right by The Tower of London and Tower Bridge. It’s also very convenient to Tower Hill tube stop. We prepaid for the breakfast and it was filling and fast, as well as amazing. The concierge desk, particularly David, was a huge help on the trip. They held our luggage the first day until check in so we could explore. Very helpful when getting there from the States. There is also a Tesco nearby for snacks. The only fault I had was the air handler was not able to cope with an admittedly unprecedented heat wave, so the rooms were a bit warm. Nothing we couldn’t cope with. Definitely will be staying there again."

a&o London Docklands Riverside

2/10 Terrible

"We booked based on the hotels.com website info and paid a price that reflected this being a hotel, however (apart from the room itself) everything else more like the hostel it has been taken over by. We felt very mislead. We received no replies to our messages via the hotels.com app pre-arrival, and the phone was not answered so parking wasn't booked. Check-in was chaotic. Lifts were not working and access to rooms was via a narrow metal spiral staircase. Breakfast was very disappointing - poor quality food and limited options, especially for hot breakfast - beans, hash browns, cheap sausages and a hard boiled egg in its shell! It was fine for a hostel but we'd paid hotel prices! Worst of all was when the fire alarm went off during the night. Not the hotel's fault, obviously, but very fortunately it was not a real fire as it was utter chaos for 1.5 hours while the alarm kept ringing. If there were any staff managing things we didn't see them - before the fire brigade arrived and said there was no fire there was no attempt to evacuate the building. There was zero communication or instruction throughout, no checking if rooms had been evacuated or roll call, no assistance for people with young children on the spiral stairs. People all over the building were wondering what on earth was going on. On the plus side the room was fine, the few staff we saw were lovely, and it's a great location."
