Reviews of Citadines Barbican London
Siew Eng Quek
Decent no-frills apartment hotel. No house-keeping service unless the stay is more than 1 weeks. About 6 min walk to nearest train station (Barbican). Lots of eateries in the neighbourhood. Breakfast is by an external vendor next door. Need to get coupon every morning.

Amazing place to stay in London for the price. For £89 plus a parking fee as I drove in to London for work meetings, I had a studio apartment with separate bathroom. It’s was extremely well presented and clean. Tea, coffee and water provided. This might be my favourite place to stay now.

The rooms were super quite even though they are next to a road. The beds were comfy and the hotel is conveniently close to the underground. Aircondition worked well and so did the facilities. Hotel room were also clean and tidy! Can recommend.

Wonderful accommodations that exceeded my expectations. Clean, modern, sleek. Will definitely be returning to the Barbican Citadines. The front-desk staff went above and beyond and facilitated my early check-in after a long flight.

Absolutely brilliant, the team even put some chocolates in our room for our anniversary which was a lovely touch! The girls in the day time were brilliant, I didn’t catch there names! However Asif in the evening was so helpful with a few questions and finding a parking solution for the next day when we weren’t even staying there! Highly recommend and a great price 👏🏼
