"A fixture on Clerkenwell’s laidback hipster scene. Rooms are simple but bold, with colourful panache and lots of eco touches."

"A trendy and discreet converted 19C warehouse with well-equipped bedrooms that come with pleasant touches, such as Penguin paperbacks"

"It was only a matter of time before a hotel blended the edgy Shoreditch scene with the creature comforts demanded by City types."

Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel -- they back onto a quiet square.

"Almost best of all, the rates are (for London) way low."

"The dizzying five-story atrium, Art Deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse."
