Between my husband's work travel and a few besties being abroad, London is my official second home. When a place needs to feel like home, you need not just amenities, but also creature comforts. The Citadines Barbican is a true apart-hotel, and I love staying here. It truly is the best of both worlds.
Things worth noting:
+The cafe/mini grocery/wine bar downstairs is fab
+Though the cleaning folks only come once per week, the hotel is excellent at bringing up extras of things you might need, grabbing your garbage from outside your door, etc.
+This hotel is seconds from Barbican Station
+Museum of London, Smithfield Market, Cheapside shopping, Exmouth Market is all under 15 minutes walking
+St Paul's Cathedral, Paul's Walk, Millennium Bridge, Tate Modern, Globe Theatre is all under 30 minutes walking read more
