Location near spitalfields market. Lots of shopping and dining. The room was very close to the Liverpool St. Station. Note. There is no sign on the street that has the property name. I had to call the number and a guy cme out to meet me..

Great convenient location near Liverpool street. They were very accommodating and checked us in early, which was very helpful. It was what we needed for the one night, before travelling.

Not great.
Location is amazing. Check in super easy and friendly and a nice guy takes you to your room. The hallways have old carpet and it smells musty and like food. The door room numbers are an a4 piece of paper taped on the door. Inside the rooms are just battered. Walls stained and chipped. Chair leg broken, woods with no edges etc. It wasn’t great. Linen and towels clean though. Look, it wasn’t the best. More of a home made hostel. But it did the job for the night. I wouldn’t stay again or recommend it.

The room was very small and whilst it did have a redecorated bathroom this hadn’t been finished. In addition there was a bright green security light on all the time which actually lit up the room substantially. The corridor was quite shabby. Overall I think it was very over priced

Stayed here a few times. Love it! Perfect location. Right by Liverpool St. station. No lifts to property. Room quiet. Some with balcony. Great host. Found on-road parking £5 ph though 4 hours maximum stay but worked around free parking times.

Good stay but.....
It would have been perfect except for the very bright green fire alarm (I presume) light that could not be turned off. It meant sleep was intermittent. If it would be possible to turn if off I would return. If not I won’t. Please advise

Great little hidden facility
Was a little difficult to find, make sure you look out for the email with detailed location information on your day of check in! Very close to Liverpool Street Station and, although on a noisy back street with pubs and bars, the room I had was in the middle of the building and there was no street noise heard. Very modern and clean setup. I would use again

You get what you pay for
The email sent with all the passcodes to the main entry and door got stuck in my junk hotmail folder but fortunately I picked this up. As you enter the building it does not give a good impression as it could be tidier I.e walls are marked etc however the room was clean And bathroom was really nice and smartly done. Overall a good standard for what I paid. I liked the fact it was not noisy so it was a pleasant stay. Thank you

The fire alarm went off twice; one at 11:30 at night which I believe was set off by the people in the room next door when they came back drunk and the second time at 8:30am and they couldn’t turn it off. Luckily I checked out at 9:10 so only had to put up with it for 40mins! The people next door were loud and drunk and there was obviously a fairly large group and they got locked out their room because they couldn’t remember the code for the door. There was only me and it was quite worrying as the doors to the rooms felt like they could have been forced easily. My tv didn’t work in my room... but I had my iPad so could watch Netflix... so this wasn’t so bad.... Otherwise positive... there was a fridge and WiFi!

Impressive alternative to a Hotel!
Overall, the accommodation is immaculate, very clean, it appears to be newly refurbished; bed very comfortable; powerful and hot shower - shampoo, conditioner, body wash all supplied. There is a fridge, microwave, hairdryer, TV all in the room including tea/coffee facilities. The only feedback would be that 1) the door number of the property was only mentioned once amongst the many booking emails I received; 2) the number on the property was not easily seen from the street; 3) gaining access to your room is via a pin code however its not obvious that the pin pad is actually part of the door handle; 4) when exiting the property, the green exit button is not easily marked. However, overall, for an inner city stay, this is superb accommodation.

Wont stay again
Weely work trip but my usual hotel was fully booked, so chose this as this replacement as local.to my liverpool street office. From the minute I turned up it started going wrong. I couldn't get in due to the digital door locks (and not having been given the code/s), but after about 30 minutes finally managed to get hold of someone (not on the numbers provided) who gave me the three required codes.once in the room, I found it to be noisy from the service shaft adjoining/to the rear, and to make matters worse the tv was not working. The final nail in the coffin was waking up.with 3 bites on me, which would suggest thier are hygiene issues in the room. Overall... nit good, and will be me first and last visit.

God central beliggenhed.
God central beliggenhed. Værelset havde dog nogle få mangler ift det lovede. Og manglede hylde-/skabsplads til tøj, samt kroge til overtøj. Lidt usikkerhed mht tjek ind, da der blev skrevet til os om at vi ville modtage en mail med tjek ind oplysninger og ellers skulle vi selv ring til hotellet mht ankomst. Ekstrem dårlig netforbindelse.

Toppen läge men slitet hotell
Plus: Fantastiskt läge mitt i Shoreditch och nära till allt. Minus: Väldigt slitet, allting luktade klor, högljutt från gatan. Bra för en natt om man inte är på boendet mer än för att sova.

The structure is near Liverpool Street, and the position is perfect for moving in London with public transportation. Our room was comfortable and clean. Our towels were changed every day. The bathroom was little, but shower was big enough. There is a luggage store included, and this is so comfortable. The only negative thing is the communication with the structure. I sent two email, but I hadn't any answer. I had to call. But they are very kind with me and they gave me every information I need.

Great one night stay
We had one night at Widegate, and the room was lovely. Nice, simple decor. And the location is wonderful. As some of the other reviews said, the bathroom was a bit weird with water all over after a shower, as there was no curtain or glassdoors. But for one night it is manageable. I had a small panick on the day off arrival, as there are no street number on the information received and the other reviews said you would get an email on the day of arrival. I didn't get that, neither in my spam folder. When I arrived in London I called the place and I got the street number and was told that there was a reception with a man waiting for me. He was very nice and helpful! But I would have liked that small part of information beforehand.
