We stayed at this hotel for a weekend. It offers good value for money and the staff were friendly, but the bathroom cleanliness could be improved as we found traces of makeup and some hair from previous guests. Overall it was okay, though we would probably try another hotel next time.

Very convenient location, nice and easy to find, with friendly, helpful staff. The hotel was clean, modern and very well designed to make efficient use of space. The rooms are small though, and can't be very good for anyone with large suitcases, but it suited us for a one night stay with minimal luggage. Some excellent design touches were various hangers and hanging points on the wall, and a large shelf in the bathroom for toiletries. The breakfast was available free if booked directly and was surprisingly good with nice pastries, yoghurt and granola pots, fresh fruit, bread and a choice of juices and coffee from a machine. Plenty of veggie options too. The only problem we had was that the bed was on wheels and scooted across the floor from the slightest contact such as dropping a bag next to it.

The rooms are tiny and ingenuously designed. But the bed is good, clean and soft; the shower room does what is needed and the breakfast was just right. I was only staying one night and I was only awake in the room for a couple of hours so it did me perfectly. I could see it would be less agreeable if you had a lot of luggage or needed more space to move around the room.

Great stay at Point A Hotel Shoreditch. The room was small but perfectly adequate, very clean, with a comfy bed and nice indirect lighting. Breakfast was simple with limited choice, but when you book on their website you get it for free so it was fine. The bed is on wheels and, even with the brakes on, moved a little, but it wasn’t a big issue. Overall, we were very satisfied and would happily stay again.

This was a great cost effective option for solo traveling. Great location, walking distance between (3) different Underground lines, including Liverpool Street which has the Elizabeth line straight to LHR airport. Clean hotel and rooms, staff is really great, card entrance. The rooms are very tiny though, would highly recommend “With Window”. No mini fridge or closet. Works for one person needing a clean, modern place to sleep. I stayed on a weekend so pricing was a bit high for the space you get but would stay here again if needed.

Walking distance of about 9min to the tube. We booked 2 room with one slightly smaller then the other which is quite cramped with the bed layout. However,its very functional with all necessity provided. Its a good and nice experience to stay, with polite staff,good area,safe place and special mention for the nice breakfast with an array of baked selection. Coffee and tea is nice too. Great for vegans like my family. we truly are appreciative of the breakfast selection for us. The price is reasonable for a room with such value.

We enjoyed our stay. Rooms and bathrooms are quite clean. Breakfast was provided and sufficient to start our day. We love the pastries! Staff were friendly and helpful. It is much more convenient to get to the hotel from Moorgate (Underground). It's walkable even though we had quite a bit of luggage to drag around. Spitalfield market is within walking distance and we didn't get the chance to have meals there which was a bummer. The hotel is on a quiet street which we appreciate for a good night's sleep. The bed is a tad too soft for us as we are used to sleeping on firmer beds. Overall, it was a good base for us to tour around London. It will still be our choice of hotel if we return to visit London in the future. ^^
