One Hundred Shoreditch
Lovely hotel, excellent location. We had an issue with the toilet in our room and when it was discovered it could not be fixed right away, they switched us to a different room very quickly and even left us a voucher for drinks with their apologies

Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch
Nicely styled hotel, with good amenities such steam shower in the room and a communal pool. Some issues with property maintenance, with the room window not closing properly letting in street noise at night. The service in the restaurant on the top floor is a bit of a disaster, being extremely slow ...

Point A London Shoreditch
The staff were friendly however the room was not clean when we arrived. I would definitely recommend more attention to detail when cleaning. The room size is small and that is fine; we did not need a large room and small accommodation is not a deal breaker for me at all.

Aethos Hotel London Shoreditch
A bit of style over substance. The staff were lovely. However, gratuities are added to the final bill, along with late check-out charges, giving the impression that the hotel is trying to squeeze every dime out of the customer. Food and the attached Japanese restaurant are very good.
