"Beautiful place. "
Staff lovely. Breakfast AMAZING! Sadly missed out on the swimming pool facilities but if we was to come again we would definitely be going for a dip. Down stairs was really was decorated and designed so when I got to my room I was a little sad that they wasn`t as I expected from downstairs decor. Overall great place!

Further from tube station than we thought, a good 20min walk. Room clean and comfortable. Breakfast very busy but the staff did their best to keep the breakfast bars well stocked. Very friendly waitress (Offea?) even under pressure.

I thought the area was lovely, I stayed on a Saturday night . The hotel room was really good, spacious and very clean. Free wifi a bonus and breakfast was good. Friendly staff. For the money paid I am very satisfied.

"very nice hotel"
lovely hotel although leisure facilities were not always available and that was not advertised until we got there. Once there it said that the pool was not available on Mon,Weds & Fri mornings so went down Thurs before we left to find out that there was a private `photo shoot` going on....wasn`t impressed so although overall stay was good, couple of problems arose.Food was very good although again when paid in the bar area there was a service charge added again without any notice. Staff were pleasant but there was some issues.

"A fantastic hotel in the very heart of London"
This is our third stay at the xxxxx Barbican and the very best! Since our last visit, the hotel appears to have been upgraded and improved. Our room was first class and the staff gave sincere, genuine, excellent throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, despite the hotel being very busy. We were in London for our son`s graduation and this hotel rounded off a great day. Thank you very much indeed. Nick & Gillian Bardsley.

"Excellent food, good hotel near the centre"
The breakfast at the hotel is excellent with plenty of choice. The staff are helpful. The rooms are clean and tidy, some of the fitted furniture could do with replacing in the room as it looks a bit tatty but this is more of a triviality than anything. The furniture in the main parts of the hotel are good. Despite being in the centre of London, there was little noise. The hotel is a good 10=15 minutes walk from the nearest tube station, but once there you are within easy reach of all the places you can visit in London. Dont get ataxi anywhere as you will be robbed, it cost £15 to travel less then 3 miles!!

Comfortable beds, fluffy towels and plenty of hot water. Excellent breakfast - quality of food was outstanding and the dining room staff were very efficient and friendly. Reception staff also very good. Would have been excellent rating but only one lift working so wait times were rather long and the voice message on each floor as you went up and down became rather annoying!

"Good location providing easy access to main London attractions. "
Never stayed on this side of London and was pleased the Tube sations where 8/10 minute easy walk away. Hotel has excellent facilities, good well organised breakfast, decent sized rooms. Limited parking was reasonable at £25 per night although we were fortunate to get a space. Would go back as offer price was good value for a centrally located London hotel.

"Lovely hotel, decent location (5 minute walk to nearest tube station)"
My partner and I stayed in the Barbican for 3 nights, reception staff (checked in and out by Vincent) were very friendly, breakfast buffet was very nice, rooms very clean. All in all I would recommend this hotel and will definitely be booking again.

"Very pleasant stay at the xxxxx 4* Rooms"
The hotel was clean, the breakfast choices were excellent, the spa facilities were fantastic, two lifts, one was out of service and the other was intermittent, the walk to the tube was approx 10-15 which could be a bit much for some, overall though I would definitley recommend the xxxxx Barbican

"Cheapest hotel in zone 1 AND good!"
Flats + shops around hotel could be off putting hence cheap hotel price but hotel fine. Free parking right outside after 130pm sat afternoon and Sunday. Friendly staff nice breakfast, left window open on Saturday night and was very quiet outside. Shower good , really difficult to criticise for £! In zone 1 , bit of a walk to the tube but not a pretty walk anyway, just get a cab to the centre with the money you saved on the hotel. Got a cab from near the monument by the Thames and was under £10 on Saturday night. Didn`t look into bus routes but loads nearby. Bar opened until 2am Saturday night which was fully utilized! Friendly bar staff. Planned to use pool and gym but didn`t due to 2am bedtime.....so can`t comment on them. Better than usual TL and PI for same money.

Helpful staff, lovely breakfast. Small room but had everything we needed. Noisy a/c unit, not a problem to me but might be if you were a light sleeper.
