A friend and I stayed here precovid, we really enjoyed the stay! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with a great shower. The location was great, near a ton of cool things to check out in a part of London I hadnt explored much before. My only complaint was the staff at the time had no knowledge of the area and couldn't even direct us to where we could find some food, luckily we had the internet (ha). read more

This hotel is amazing. I'm staying here for the quarantine special and I can't say enough good things about it. The food is extraordinary, the service goes above and beyond, and the ambiance is quirky and fun while also being very user friendly and squeaky clean. The communication from the reservations office was great and very responsive to all my questions. The staff member who helped me make my reservation was waiting for me when I arrived and helped me get settled in. Those personal touches made me feel at home right away. The fun room really is fun. The bed is the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel. The decor is upbeat and cheerful and the room is spacious. I found this hotel because I was required to quarantine and they are offering a special right now, but I will come back again any time I'm in London and I recommend it highly to everyone. read more

I'm a little bit torn about whether I want to like this hotel or not. We stayed here for 2 weeks for our vacation, they were doing some constructions for the first half of our stay, and they were doing free breakfast and free drinks in the evening, which was a really nice touch. All the staff were super nice and super helpful, and I love the green concept. The decor is really cute, but not exactly functional. So we read about some reviews and noted that some rooms don't have bathroom door, so upon check in, I asked for a room with one. Yes, the bathroom has a sliding door but there's a huge gap, so you can hear your significant other's "business" and vice versa, I guess I hit a new relationship goal. The bathroom is cute, I love the rain shower, and their "Stop the water while you use me" soap + shampoo. They don't change the towel unless you leave it on the floor to save on water and energy. Love love love the green concept. BUT, somehow the hotel designer decided to hang a sponge, and a plunger!? on the bathroom wall right above the towel rack. I am hoping this is only for decoration and no one has used it for its intended purpose, but I can't be the only who doesn't want my clean towels anywhere near a fxxking toilet plunger. The bathroom also has no fan (or ours simply didn't work), so it's always damp and the towels don't dry. The room was clean when we arrived. I hang the Do not Disturb sign more days than I should, but on days I really need housekeeping, they don't always come. And when they do, they do a pretty good job making the beds and wiping the place clean, but NOT ONCE did they change our sheets during our 2 weeks stay. I've stayed at plenty of eco-friendly hotels across the world, and they usually at least change it every 3 days, but not this place. Oh, and there was this one time housekeeping bag all the trash, but left it by the in room trash bin but never actually took it out. Nice plus, they post weather information and hilarious quotes in the lifts daily. And the coffee/tea machine was great. Not the cleanest hotel experience, but I can minimally tolerate it. All the staff is nice and helpful, and will get me some fresh towels when housekeeping fell through. So I'm really torn, I want to like this hotel but the housekeeping department is really lacking. read more

We appreciated the impeccable service we received these past two weeks. Everyone was so welcoming, accommodating, and kind, the food was some of the best we've had, and it really turned quarantine into something that felt more like a luxury than a requirement! Every hotel needs a quarantine package like this. It included an airport transfer, 2 weeks of accommodation in the biggest room, breakfast, and dinner. We have since moved on to Cambridge and are at a hotel until my apartment is ready, and it is certainly a wake-up call that the kind of experience Qbic offers isn't universal. Chef Ana is absolutely incredible and prepared our best meals there. Ecaterina was always such a pleasure to see. She was so friendly, made us feel at home, and anticipated our needs. We were disappointed when we didn't see her our last day, but she was getting a much deserved day off. Bianca, Christina, Karina, and especially the manager, Dominic, all made our stay so special. It isn't just the service--they are genuinely kind people, and it made a big difference for us, as we were feeling quite apprehensive about being in the UK at this time. I was headed back to university and this hotel provided the perfect first step on the journey there--we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We will most certainly be backWe have a relative studying in London, and when her family visits her, we've convinced them that this is the only place they should quarantine! read more

Really quirky and modern place with a techy vibe. Kind of like an upscale hostel with private rooms and bathrooms. Great for one night stay in London and across the street from the Tube. However, I wasn't in love with the neighborhood. Would probably find somewhere closer to major attractions or the city center the next time I'm in London. read more

Room was clean but neighborhood was very run down with little to no food choices other then the hotel restaurant. Check in was odd with no assigned person to do check in, just who ever happened to be free at the time at the restaurant. Bed was comfy but quirky decorations made the room oddly set up with no place for baggage or for you to sit. Could hear all the water/toilet running from rooms around you. Room had no windows and ac was hit or miss on running. read more

Rooms are a lot of style over substance. Generally nice but not at all practical or particularly well maintained. However the 2 star rating is mostly due to the food. TERRIBLE. Barely edible. Mostly frozen goods that were reheated in a microwave or oven. All tasted like cardboard. I have no idea where they got the pictures of the food on the website because that is not what was served. Unfortunately, I was stuck here for COVID quarantine and had no choice. read more

My wife and I traveled into London from California and booked a room here for our first night.this place is conveniently located, No need for a car. Staff incredible friendly, and the rooms are very clean and nice / comfortable. The bar and restaurant in the lobby is just as nice and comfortable with good food. Free coffee and juices. Thank you guy's for a great experience. read more

I attempted to make a reservation on the qbic website on 22 June, 2019 for a windowless smart room and prepaid breakfast on the go for two people. I received a fraud alert from my credit card company and was told to re-process the charge. However, I saw on my statement that I had still been charged for my original attempt at a reservation. I let my bank know, and I opened a dispute for the extra charge. A few days before our trip, I received two confirmation emails from qbic. I wrote back immediately to let them know that there should only be one reservation and that there was a duplicate. They obviously still hasn't dealt with this on their end, which I found strange since I figured my bank would let them know about it when I asked them for a refund. The first issue we had is that there was no door on the bathroom. We had stayed at qbic a few years ago with a room that had a measly sliding door over the bathroom but this was way too much. We walked down and mentioned this to Maureen, the manager, and she said that "none of the rooms have bathroom doors." She and the other employee there made us feel like something was wrong with us for thinking that this was abnormal. In addition, what she said is not true because I know that the room we had before had a door, and I have seen pictures of rooms recently on trip advisor with the same type of door. The next issue we had involved breakfast. When we went down for breakfast on morning 1 of our trip, we gave our room number and served ourselves breakfast. Morning 2 of our trip came, we gave our room number, and we were looked at suspiciously. The waitress didn't say anything besides "one second", and then went to the manager to tell her something. The manager, Asta, then asked us within other guests' ear shot if we have paid for breakfast. She said that she couldn't find us in her system as having prepaid for breakfast. I showed her my confirmation emails, and the emails only had the confirmation number and price of the room. I only had received one confirmation email initially so I didn't know what the other one said. Basically, the price I paid according to my statement was obviously including breakfast but qbic didn't send anything showing that. Asta said that she can add breakfast to our reservation herself. We say that we want to pay the prepaid online price of 5 pounds per person, and she says "That's a weird price." as if we made it up! Qbic's own website has that listed as the price! That was a very rude comment on her part. We decided to just email reservations about it because it didn't make sense that we supposedly had not already paid for this. I emailed Stefano in reservations to ask about the reservations. He sends the details showing that both rooms. Both have breakfast on it but it's not clear whether they initially did or that it was an add-on by Asta. Later that day, Maureen is there as manager and sees that our reservation does include breakfast and that there is nothing to worry about. My bank statement shows a refund for less than we paid. A few days later, I check again, and the refund is there but no charge. I am confused so I email Stefano about it again. As this whole thing is going on, it is clear that employees are not consistent with the whole breakfast check-in. One day, we gave our room number and were presented with a bill as we were serving ourselves. I told the person that we had already paid for breakfast, and Asta was there, so I asked if she is the one who told him to charge us. He apologized and said that she didn't and that it was just his mistake. On the morning of day 7 of our stay, we gave our room number for breakfast. The woman there was different and as we proceeded to get ourselves the to-go bags and containers, she walked up to us to say "you have to-go breakfast" and pointed to the little area by her stand with some bags and pastries/fruits. We told her that we were getting our bags from another area, which we had been using daily, and then pointed to it. She finally left us alone. At this point, we could see that the hotel was trying to make it seem like the to-go breakfast only included fruits and baked goods and not the rest of the buffet. The last day of our stay arrived, and I made sure that we were not going to be paying for breakfast twice with Stefano. He seemed to be echoing my understanding that I had prepaid for breakfast because he had said that I had paid for the booking costing £778 (which had breakfast in it). I had also checked in with the manager, Maureen, the other day, and she said that we didn't have to pay for anything when we left because it had all been prepaid. When I checked out, the manager (another guy, not sure of his name) said that we had to pay £85. I said that we had already prepaid for everything, and then he showed me the receipt listing all of the breakfast AND a £15 charge for breakfast on top of the daily charge on one of those days! read more

Love the room - bright and cozy, with TV and everything you need. My room was just at the end of the lobby, a little bit too much to walk, but other than that all good. This is not a hotel for a view, but centrally located. So if you are visiting London, this is the place to stay. Looking forward trying out the restaurant as well. read more

Overall trendy concept. So far day 2 still construction with never ending pounding and drilling. Top off a 5 minute fire alarm today. Not a great room to relax and sleep in on a vacation. Would be nice to have a table even a small one to set items on, like wallets, coins, and passport. Room space is tight but still could have a small fold down one hinged, maybe even a small chair for writing . Great place for a London budget. Reminds me of being on a cruise ship with the cabin being just a bit larger. Bathroom is great sized no issues. I guess they have to do construction sometime just bad timing I guess. Location is wonderful close to the metro and stores. Will check out bar and restaurant tonight. read more

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in! Very comfortable beds, good food, nice bar area with good drinks, and their emphasis on sustainability is wonderful too!! read more

Eat here. I can't say much about staying here. My friends say it was quirky and cool. And beds were comfy. The food was excellent. They had breakfast here and said it was fantastic and so recommended it for lunch. Apparently it was the first time they've done Sunday lunch. Beef looked amazing and pink. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Potatoes were crisp, Yorkshire was spot on. Nitpicking: - only two types of veg - custard was a bit cold for dessert as the little bottle was cold - ipa was served cold These are not big things. I expect they will be sorted by next time tbh. So eat here. Breakfast until 12pm on weekends. Roast until 10pm and very reasonable. read more

I can't be more satisfied with this cute hotel. The rooms are perfectly sized and contain everything I could ask for. The free breakfast AND happy hour provisions located on each floor are such a nice touch. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Great place!! read more

This hotel was great. It has everything you need. I give it 3 starts because it was difficult to find (very small sign on a small street) and it wasn't very cozy. Each room has a pod which is the bathroom, bed and TV all in one. It was very comfortable, however the bathroom barely had a door and if you're not traveling alone, this can be a little awkward. As a women, there were no plugs in the bathroom despite the supplied blow dryer. Although this is very minor, it is worth mentioning. The hotel breakfast was very good and healthy, however the coffee wasn't very good. They did have coffee makers on every floor of the hotel though and by the front entrance they had a basket of health bars and apples for free which was really nice to grab on our way out to explore the city. Overall I would stay again, after all where else can you get a room with a giant photo of Justin Bieber and Princess Diana together? read more

Super cool modern hotel! Reasonably prized and close to brick lane. Totally recommend this to anyone who like the unexpected and has a sense if humor. It's also eco-friendly and the staff is friendly. read more

Loved staying at this hotel last Fall! The location is a quick, 5-minute walk to the tube. There were some great breakfast options across the street, and it's close to Brick Lane. The rooms were clean, and the bed was the most comfortable one we had on our trip! I loved the (free!!) espresso machine down the hall from our room, and the water they brought to our room daily. The staff offered to hold our luggage after check out for the day, as our flight wasn't until the evening. Couldn't recommend it enough! read more

I and my business partner stayed at the hotel from Dec 2 to Dec 5. The rooms were great but with a few caveats ... - The only tables in the rooms are not conducive for work. There is no mains power for laptops and no desk lighting. - The shower head should be a removable one with an adjustable flow. All of the staff were professional and friendly and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Tony was bartending Friday night and he is as good a bartender as it gets! read more

Cool, hip , creative vibe. Room was spacious & loved the nod the little touches (ie, quote over sink, rain shower, tv at end of bed). Continental breakfast was delicious, especially homemade granola. Only disappointment was the lack of Sunday roast, especially after traveling all over London for the day and asking 2 different staff about it ahead of time. (Please post if it won't be available). Waitress really tried to help as she could see my disappointment, which I appreciated. read more
