The Re London Shoreditch, London, United Kingdom

The room was small, the bed was lumpy, a new mattress was required. Asked to borrow a knife and staff not friendly about it. Check in was slow and had to leave a £100 deposit which was returned on departure. The lift was a little slow. Breakfast was expensive. We chose this hotel only as it was close to our daughter who lives in the neighbourhood. Would not recommend. A good 10 minute walk to the closest tube station.

Though in a less than salubrious part of Shoreditch, the RE Shoreditch itself was as expected. The service was friendly & accommodating, the facilities were quality & fashionable. In fact, I have never been to a hotel where the bar & foyer area were constantly abuzz with patrons to the same level. There was an air of familiarity but, not in a way that may breed contempt! I stayed initially for one night, then went away for two nights and, returned for two nights. The hotel kindly kept one of my bags during my brief absence and, the greeting upon return was like a coming home. The service & care was just right. I would stay again without hesitation.

Good stay great WiFi however the TV is the size of a marble.

Good service, room is clean with nice setting. staffs are friendly and helpful. Relatively close to the train line. Train lines closed on the weekend which was painful. But I will stay here again next time I am in London

It was a horrible hotel. Bad points included: - Arrive at hotel and struggle to understand the woman at the reception desk as her English was so accented - The bed was awful. The mattress was sunken, both left and right sides, heavily indented by all the bodies that have lain there before me, compounded by a ridge in the middle -The lighting consisted of either five really bright downlights surrounding the bed or two foggy, weak blue-light reading lights. So if you want a relaxing atmosphere, forget it! - Any room service is 4 pounds per go. THIS INCLUDES BUCKETS OF ICE! - I bought a bottle of wine to drink in my room. There were no wine glasses. I had to go down to the bar and get glasses (to avoid the 4 pound charge). Then I get back up to my room, go to open the wine; no bottle opener! Downstairs AGAIN,the barman said they only have one opener, so bring the bottle down! So go UP AND DOWN AGAIN to open my wine! - The lights went out. TWICE. First time for a 5 mins, the second time the stayed off. After waiting 30 MINS and calling 3 times, I went down to reception to speak to the manager. To cut a long story short, I left, that night after no joy from Management. - It's not in the good 'cool' section of Shoreditch. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.
