Reasonably positive, but room for improvement
Modern, fresh and stylish accommodation conveniently located to Aldgate East tube station. Room was rather cramped but this was expected. Great views from our room of The Shard and surrounding area. We had some problems with Wi-Fi connectivity but reception acted promptly when I raised this. En-suite was spacious, but shower door didn’t close properly and extractor fan not working. Some nice welcome treats were provided. Replenishment of tea, coffee etc would’ve been appreciated.

Too hot to sleep well in a nice place.
The reception team were very good, especially Simona. The location is excellent, close to public transport, eating options, supermarkets and tourist stuff too. The room was pretty modern and mostly in good condition.On the negative side, the bed was badly located for a couple, it was really dark, and far too hot for us to sleep.

Good location with easy tube access
Studio room was adequate and clean. Included a kitchenette, tables with chairs and sofa. Certainlyenough for two of us. Bathroom was very large. Staff at the front desk were always friendly and helpful. Location was only about a block from the Aldgate tube station.

Modern space unfortunately let down by a few issues. There was a missing light globe for one of the main lights. The shower flooded the bathroom every time you used it due to the door. The kitchen cupboards were not good. There was a musty smell in the bathroom. A luggage stand would be helpful.

Only negatives were- the hallway and room doors are super loud and heavy, they aren’t soft close. So it was very noisy in the morning when cleaners were going in and out of rooms re-stocking supplies etc. I had to go out on 2 occasions and ask them to be quiet. There was also no fridge in our room. Other than that it was perfect. Super modern and clean. Would definitely stay again.

My stay @ Buckle street studios was nothing short of amazing. Stayed there 6 nights, checked in Aug 22, out Aug 28. From the time, I stepped into the reception area, I knew I had made the right choice. My flight from Texas was long (8 hrs); got to the hotel around 2 & requested to be checked in early, which Rania did without hesitation. The hotel is clean, quiet, very well located, plenty of dining, grocery store options & just a stone throw away from the Aldgate East tube station. My only gripe was with housekeeping :( 3 days into my stay, I asked for the trash to be emptied; they did so in the kitchenette, but left the trash bag in the room :(, then left the new bag for the bathroom wastebasket on one of the chairs in the room, so I had to empty it myself. I was really upset & had to take the trash to the bin myself across the street. Not deducting any stars for that experience, brought it up so it doesn’t happen again. The reception staff was really apologetic. I’m planning on visiting London again & Buckle Street is definitely on top of my list. Thank you <3

We stayed here the month of August and it was wonderful. Quiet, cozy and conveniently located. Aldgate East, Aldgate and Liverpool Stations are all close. There are loads of great options for eat in or takeaway in the neighborhood. The front reception staff are friendly, helpful and very responsive. Thank you! Having on site laundry facilities was so convenient. We used this several times over our stay and the machines were generally easily available. The only little knock is the shower. While the design is lovely, it lacks function as it leaks quite badly. We had to place towels around the perimeter to avoid fully flooding the bathroom during even the shortest showers. Not huge deal in the grande scheme of things, but something worth a fix. All in all a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend.

A mixed experience. The location is excellent, with great transport links and plenty of convenience shops and restaurants nearby. I had to wait about 10 minutes after check-in for the room to be ready, and then, when I got to my room, a male housekeeper unexpectedly walked in while I was there to drop off a blanket and an extra towel. Thankfully, I was just working on my laptop, but this could have been a very uncomfortable encounter. It seemed like there was a communication lapse between reception and housekeeping. I had been in the room for about 20 minutes And he asked whether I was in the room for a long time to which I replied to yes. The room itself was quite small and felt cramped. The layout wasn’t ideal, with the kitchen next to the bathroom, and the air conditioning was inefficient, making it either too hot or too cold. Being close to the elevators meant I could hear every bit of noise, though it wasn’t too bothersome to me. The full-length mirror was positioned so awkwardly close to the bed that I couldn’t see myself properly, which added to the cramped feeling. The windows were tiny, and even with the room’s lighting, it felt dim and a bit claustrophobic despite the nice decor and comfy bed. I have stayed in many studio apartments In London but for a longer stay, I’d definitely look for something more spacious. Overall, while the location and staff were great, the room’s issues were a letdown.
