Berkley Apartments

Excellent location in Shoreditch, on a quiet but charming near-pedestrian street with low-rise, older buildings with lots of restaurants, bars and cafés nearby. Conveniently located close to Old Street tube station (and the office locations I was visiting). Room was small and clean with a kitchenette. After staying in many cramped London hotels, sometimes even without windows, this was such a nice change and good value. Staff was friendly, but did not see much of them apart from check in. I will return.

The room is mostly well equipped, but I could have done with better storage for unpacking since I stayed for 3 nights. Building is nicely renovated, but a bit quirky. Despite being a quiet street, some nice filtered through, but not a problem. Was not disturbed by other guests at all.

Location, convenience, price.

Staying in room 8b seems to require Cirque de Soleil credentials. As a 72 year old negotiating the crazy steps, multiple floor levels while holding a yellow a black hazard striped pipe while searching for randomly located light switches was a trial. I suggest this room should be flagged for this.

Très bien placé . Literie confortable

Really good location, nice rooms

I stayed for two nights. My second time here. It was great. Good facilities, clean, good location and comfortable.

Very nice happy staff and accomodation absolutely fantastic and very good value for money. I would recommend it to anybody who would like to get a very nice place to stay while in the area.😀

Nothing

pokój był zgodny z rzeczywistością, taki jak na zdjęciach w ofercie. Wyposażony był we wszystko, co było nam potrzebne.

nic

vlakbij Tube, rustige buurt, geen last van andere gasten, vriendelijk onthaal

The location was great. Very central and lots of transport nearby.

Extra deposit that they took at the check-in. It was only to hold temporarily and the money came back couple of days after checking-out. So no problem overall, but it was a surprise and I would've appreciated it if it was informed in advance.

Great location, very clean. Air con was a plus

halbwegs gute Lage, mehr gibt es leider nicht zu sagen (Bus Station 3 Minuten entfernt, U-Bahn etwa 10 Minuten)

nicht wie auf den Bildern!! wir bekamen ein Upgrade, ohne danach gefragt zu haben (ich wusste es nicht mal). am zweiten Tag wurde uns um 10 Uhr abends mitgeteilt, dass wir bis morgen früh das Apartment zu verlassen hätten. das Gepäck musste demnach noch am Abend gepackt werden - wenigstens wurde es vom Personal umgeräumt, dennoch ist sowas weit entfernt von ok. Die Ausstattung in der Küche war ein Witz (beim üblichen Besteck waren z.B. nur 2 Löffel, 1 Gabel und 1 Messer vorhanden), der beworbene Backofen war leider in der Realität ebenfalls nicht vorhanden. vor dem Fenster war es trotz Seitenstraße extrem laut, da direkt vor den Apartments 2 Lokale sind. im ersten Apartment roch es zusätzlich stark nach Fett bzw. Burger, wenn man das Fenster öffnete. es gab keine Klimaanlage, bei 40 Grad in London war auch das nicht angenehm. Die Heizung lief in der Hitzewelle ebenfalls noch auf voller Leistung, das wurde wenigstens geregelt. jedoch konnte man das nicht selbst machen. im zweiten Apartment hatte man vom Eck des Bettes zur Wand gemessene (!) 20 cm Platz. wir hatten uns nach 4 Wochen Rundreise sehr darauf gefreut. Leider war es beinahe die schlechteste Unterkunft, die wir hatten. Nebensatz für alle, die das große Apartment buchen wollen: von den Betten in der oberen Etage sollte man nicht aufstehen wollen, da die Raumhöhe oben schlicht und einfach zu niedrig ist - für 6 Leute ist das aber ohnehin zu klein, ist für 4 schon eher zum Kuscheln die ansonsten tendenziell eher guten Bewertungen verstehe ich absolut nicht

Everything met our expectations. Clean, bright, comfortable beds. Definitely great value for money. Easy and friendly check in.

great location for a city break in London, situated down a quiet street and close to the underground. Friendly and helpful staff, would highly recommend.

nothing

Quiet rooms, aircon for the stuffy summer, comfy bed, great location.

There is a cat that lives in the common area, which I did not know. Cat was lovely, but I am allergic to the fur and had a slight allergy itchiness even in my room.

Miejsce bardzo dobrze , możliwe komfortowe dojście do City spacerem.

Wynająłem pokój PREMIUM. Niestety okazało się, że ten pokój nie ma okna (a właściwie ma, ale jest to okno tuż obok śmietnika, więc cały czas powinno być zamknięte). Dodatkowo nie działała klimatyzacja - jedynie nawiewała powietrze, a nie chłodziła go. Dodatkowo w środku jednej z nocy ktoś zaczął bardzo hałasować na korytarzu (brzmiało jak sprzątanie lub grzebanie w schowku).

Location was amazing if you like dining and drinking. So much to do right outside the door. Our check in host was amazing and this adorable little black cat followed us to our room to ensure we were safe and had everything we needed

No le fotografie non rappresentavano la realtà

Personale e spazio all’ interno della camera e nelle parti comuni puzza di gatto

Good location and easy access, staff were friendly and room was nice

I stay here a lot, the rooms are strange and impractically designed but usually good value for money and well equipped. This time was about 50% more expensive than usual though. This was the first time in 3 stays where my tv actually worked. Good aircon thank god, essential when london is this hot.

Street noise until 2am sometimes, then super bright from 5am (the curtains are hopeless). So didnt get much sleep

The location is excellent, and justifies the price being quite high. The beds were comfy, and the bathroom and kitchen facilities are fine - nothing special, but perfectly adequate. The reception staff are friendly and accommodating, and tried to help us move rooms when we discovered we were not given what we booked, as well as remove a cot that we didn’t ask for. Overall I would stay here again now I know what to expect.

The listing on booking.com is misleading and initially I felt very duped. Having booked a superior apartment with two double beds, we were given a flat with 1 double bed, and 3 single beds squeezed into a mezzanine space in the rafters. One of those beds you actually have to climb over a beam to get to over the stairs - quite unsafe. I was told that they have 4 superiors and it luck of the draw what you get - not ok when you’ve booked 2 doubles - that needs to be made clear on the listing. However the staff kindly tried to move us, which we declined eventually as the other rooms were boiling hot and I had called in advance to check the a/c was working well in the heatwave, we were assured it was - it wasn’t. The air con is in the rafters, ensuring that the cold air can’t get to most of the flat. Additionally, they tried to take a £75 deposit on arrival, of which there is no mention at all on the booking. I would not pay this, especially after they also took my ID behind a very high desk. Lastly, the communication from the office team to the reception is very bad, meaning we had a cot in the room when they had told me to bring my own. However, again the reception staff was lovely and removed it for us. Overall, I would stay again despite these issues now that I know what to expect. If they updated their listings they wouldn’t disappoint guests on arrival.

N/A

The air conditioning didn’t do anything, it was on but never cooled the room down even at the lowest settings so this was quite uncomfortable given how hot it was

Splendido appattamento in una zona molto particolare di Londra,vicinina al centro

Great location on Rivington Street - moments from Old Street station and easy access to the offices, bars and restaurants in Shoreditch and Hoxton. They kindly upgraded to a superior room - so I had space to relax and work. Handy to have fans and aircon to cool down on a muggy night.

Check-in was a little abrupt to start, but they were welcoming after understanding I was solo business traveller. Some of the ceiling height in loft sleep areas are low - but main areas were comfortable. Would benefit with a mirror close to a plug when using a hairdryer.

Clean, provision of kitchenette, friendly staff

Location, how nice and clean the room was. Super friendly staff

Great place, very clean, great location, felt at home for the night. The man who was at reception was very friendly and accommodating. Would recommend staying here.

The location was convenient due to the proximity of shops and restaurants. I also appreciated the available kitchenette appliances, room furniture and flat screen.

Not applicable.

Nice and smooth check in. Room lovely and spacious. Great location.

Staff, great! Thanks!!

All good

It was very easy to access and check in/out. The staff was very friendly and kind. The property was conveniently located close to bus stops and stations. It was comfortable for two people and very clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Space and price

The room was clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and was very helpful.

it was exactly where it needed to be. Comfy clean bed and i slept well. The milk in the kitchen was a life saver.

No light switch by bed. No power socket by bed to charge phone.

Staff are very friendly and polite

Really noisy, lots of drunk people shouting late into the night and very early morning

Staff assente. La reception come da indicazioni da cartello montato sulla porta avrebbe dovuto aprire alle 9 di mattina, peccato però che era un cartello sbagliato. La reception apre alle 10…

The property has everything I need and located right next to the place where I wanted to go👍

It was a little bit noisy in the evening but not too bad 🙂

Cool room lay out. They even upgraded our room, Kitchen very clean and staff was super nice! Nice enough to walk us to our room.

The shower curtain had some sort of stains, and such on it. Smell coming from the bathroom, like sewage.

I've stayed at Berkley Apartments a number of times in the past few months. Shah Rukh Khan is a great host, always friendly and helpful. My go to place to stay when I have to make a short work trip to London.

I have stayed here a lot. Generally good value, central shoreditch, comfy bed. Pretty random which room you end up in as they are all different layouts.

- There's a washing machine but no washing powder. It is stupid having to go to the supermarket and buy a whole box for 1 wash. It would cost them about 30p to provide a couple of capsules for guests. - The TV didn't work. Turned on but can't connect to anything, and the saved ‘bookmarks’ were porn... The TV didn't work in another room when i stayed last time either. They need to check this. - There was (what looked like) blood stains on one of the towels - The fridge shelves were all broken (so can’t hold a carton of milk upright) - Both forks in the cutlery drawer were dirty

Fabulous location, on the edge of the original east end which is a wonderful part of London to stay in. My apartment was a great layout and they kept very on top of keeping it clean for me.

It can be noisy on a night, you are in the hub of a very social area so you do get noise on an evening. However, I worked 0400-1400 hours during my stay and I did manage to get good sleeps. Just woken occasionally.

Staff behaviour was very good. Clean and tidy. Worth the money

Excellent Location, nice facilities, great shower!

Dirty cupboard with small leak and I didn't know there wasn't a closet for your clothes, room's too small for that, though you can hang stuff on the wall/clothes hangers.

Friendly welcome. Clean crisp bedding and towels. Facilities were good. Room was quiet and bed comfortable.

All was good.

Very nice area, close to restaurants, pubs, and transportation. Felt quite safe even when I returned at night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room has a washer, stove, and fridge, quite handy for longer stays.

All good!

Location

Cold. Mattress needs replacing as do chair covers and curtains ineffective

Proximity to business need

Cheap touches, charging points faulty, shower over flow, cold draft, no milk but everything else.

Repeat visitor - great apartments well equipped and enables me to have better control on food when repeatedly travelling for work. Has good kitchen, bathroom, hair dryer, ironing board etc.

Nothing for me but there is step only access so not suitable if this is an issue for you.

such a lovely place! staff very friendly and helpful! place was very clean and well equipped. great area for what was needed and close to tube stations and shops. had a little kitchen in the room and free wifi and a tv. highly recommend, great for the price

nothing was lovely

Great location to explore a vibrant and cool area of London, off the usual beaten track.

Be prepared to carry luggage up some stairs.

Great location, comfortable bed and friendly staff. Would definitely stay there again!

Good all round!

Location, propreté et personnel

the property was clean and the staff were amazing. The location is perfect for working in / enjoying shoreditch. I will definitely be back! Thanks!!

firtly I liked that it`s very close to Stansted transport and there`s no need to suffer with your luggage on the tube! the room itself is very nice and suited me very well. the bed was great and cozy, radiators work fine, windows and opened enough, kitchen - everything was really good. mirror are a bit high for me haha but that`s not a big deal. the black cat in the hallway is also cute :3 she wanted to sleep with me, not sure if I was allowed to do this so asked her leave the room...

what I really didn`t like is that the receptionist can take your card for a deposit and I coulnd`t see what`s going on behind the desk. no one`s allowed to give someone their bank cards. now I can`t be sure if my card data is safe so I can`t keep money on it. they returned the deposit exactly a month later but I wasn`t sure if that will happen. quite big sum

Très central et facile d'accès. Lit très confortable. Très bon rapport qualité/prix.

De locatie was perfect. Bij aankomst heel schone kamer en goede douche. Alles is aanwezig om simpel te kunnen koken. Prima bed en prima kussens.

Personeel spreekt luidruchtig tot laat in de avond (storend als je de kamer naast de receptie hebt). Personeel is niet klantvriendelijk en herkent je na enkele dagen nog niet. In 9 dagen tijd slechts 2 keer schone handdoeken gekregen, dit is wel weg beperkt.

Location and room layout

Die Lage war sehr Central und für uns Optimal. Für Familien eher ungeeignet.

Die Fehlende Duschkabinentür war nicht eingeplant, genau so wie die ausgeschaltete Heizung bei Ankunft. Im Winter ist das nicht gerade komfortabel. Zusätzlich ist das Zimmer extrem Hellhörig.

Un po' piccola

No breakfast but kitchenette facilities

The smell of curry in the building

Fantastic stay! The apartment was spotlessly clean, modern, and located in a great area. The host was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!"

Als die Dusche nicht funktionierte, bekamen wir sofort ein Upgrade Zimmer.
