Latest 5 reviews of 196 Bishopsgate
Spacious, convenient and good value
Wasn't sure what to expect from serviced apartments in Central London, but this was really excellent value. Much better than a hotel if with several people or for longer stays. We stayed for one night, and were upgraded on arrival to a 2 bed apartment. Didn't need the extra space, but it was a very positive experience all round. Convenient location near bus and station. Staff helpful. Bed was comfortable, all was clean and reasonably well maintained. Kitchen well equipped, massive fridge freezer. Sitting room on front of building didn't seem to have very good sound insulation from street noise, but bedrooms at rear were both fine. Only negative for us was the lingering smell of cigarette smoke on the bed linen (must have been that as no other soft furnishings in the room).

Good location and pretty good - bit pricey though!
This hotel is very very centrally located across the road from Liverpool street station. The apartments are pretty nice and finished to good spec. Its not exactly cheap but when you consider the equivilant hotels around the area and the kitchen & laundry facilities - its actually good value for money. Good amount of shops in the area to buy food. And right around the corner from Spittalfield Market which is fantastic for food. Have stayed in couple of times and will continue to use when working in the area. - Only 2 cricisims is no gym, but thats not that big a deal. Plus the internet is done through some weird third party vendor , where you have to enter your details on some website along with credit card info, personally i'd prefer to pay on bill or on account than this method.

Extremely comfortable and convenient
I recently stayed here for a weekend with a group of friends. We booked the penthouse plus a 2-bed and a studio apartment as well as a couple of extra beds. When we arrived we were allocated the penthouse plus 3 1-bed apartments at no extra cost.
The penthouse was very spacious and we were able to comfortably entertain the whole group ( of 12) in here. The one-bed apartments were also pretty spacious.
All were clean and well equipped with everything we needed: very comfy beds, nice linen, towels and bathrobes were supplied as well as hairdriers, LCD TVs, DVD players, hi-fi system, dishwasher, all kitchen equipment required....I could go on.
The staff were polite and helpful.
A couple of minor gripes: the apartments didn't have enough mirrors to accommodate a large group of women and there is some noise from the busy road below.
All in all an excellent choice in a very central location.

Great alternative to hotels
For about the same price of a nice (4 star) hotel in central London, we stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment. Our party of 2 adults and 2 pre-teen boys had plenty of room to spread out. The rooms were spacious by London standards. It was nice to have a full kitchen and a washer/dryer because we were there for a week and didn't have to eat out for every meal. They also provide basic necessities such as hand and body soap, dishwashing and laundry detergents, basic condiments (sugar, salt, pepper). The only drawback was that the washer/dryer was difficult to figure out and did not do a good job in drying clothes.
The staff at 196 Bishopsgate was very friendly and helpful. They accommodated our many requests with a good attitude and without complaint.
There are several bus lines that generally go south (e.g. Tower of London, London Bridge, Waterloo station, London Eye) just outside of the entrance to 196 Bishopsgate. The Liverpool Street Rail station includes the Underground station that's on the Central, Circle, and Hammersmith & Circle lines. Spitalfields Market is around the corner and I recommend a trip to check our the open air stall, shops, and restaurants. Brick Lane with its many Indian restaurants are also within walking distance.

Fantastic hotel, very clean and spacious with a very friendly staff.
196 Bishopsgate is very well located across the street from the Liverpool Street Tube Station with Taxis always available. The two-bedroom apartment was spacious; bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. This was the perfect hotel for 4 adult family members traveling together. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. If you stay over a weekend, remember that the rooms are not serviced on Sunday. Not a problem if you plan for it.
