Studyo by Bridgestreet Canary Wharf

Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the duration of the stay. Accommodations were very clean an comfortable. All around, extremely pleased to have chosen this establishment .

The room itself was clean and tidy and I would probably give higher ratings if not the fact that it is a SHARED accommodation which was a shock to me. Apartment owners must clearly state what are they selling! - I booked a 'standard studio' type room and I must say this was not a standard at all when you go into your apartment and find another man preparing a dinner in your living room. What a nice surprise! Also to get to my (private!) bathroom I had to through the 'public' area, so don't forget to take your bathrobe if planning to stay there. I can imagine how many more negative reviews this apartment will get until it will be properly named and people will be aware of what are they paying for.

Cannot fault the standard of accommodation and the friendliness of staff, however please note that this is SHARED ACCOMMODATION (you share the living spaces with a complete stranger) and was a big surprise when we checked in. Reality was that we had no choice in sharing, but was pretty angry at myself for not spotting this upon booking, so I took a look at website and could only see a small reference to this in the bullet list of hotel amenities, and certainly nothing that jumps out at you as a warning! For our stay then we never actually met the single man who clearly stays there on a weekly basis (suspect he works in the area), but we heard him come and go.... Reality is that your room is no different to that in a hotel in that it is separate area and has a lock, but we actually though that we hd booked a fantastic 'apartment' style room. The whole situation made us not want to use the living area (which was a big reason why I booked this accommodation in the first instance). If you are happy with this arrangement then there are no issues with quality of rooms or service.

I love the location and the very friendly staff. The only complaint is that I could get no internet service in my bedroom. Service was good only in the common areas: living room, kitchen.

I would have given this place a higher rating except for 2 things... 1.) I was surprised to find that the accommodation was a SHARED apartment with some other random guest. If you read the room description carefully it does mention it, but I guess I didn't read it carefully enough. Neither did the other guest who was surprised to find me in "his" apartment. 2.) The bedding smelled a bit musty. While the sheets and duvet cover were all clean I suspect that the duvet itself could do with more regular airing. On the bright side the staff were very nice and helpful and the rest of the facilities were very good.
