One Hundred Shoreditch

"We arrived at One Hundred Shoreditch and first impressions were generally very good, although the lobby felt slightly unwelcoming — rows of people working on laptops and a bank of self check-in screens made it feel more like a co-working space than a hotel reception. That said, there was a very friendly lady there who added a much-needed personal touch. The room itself was excellent. Really spacious, beautifully decorated, huge windows with seating and views, and pretty much everything you could need…and more — iykyk! Although be warned, quite a lot of the extras come with a fairly hefty price tag. Unfortunately, the real problem came when we returned that evening. After a long day we were looking forward to relaxing in our lovely room and getting a good night’s sleep. Instead, we were met with loud, thumping music. I assumed it would finish at 11pm. At 2.15am it was still going strong and, although I lost track eventually, I think it continued until around 3am. When I mentioned it at reception the following morning, the response was probably as disappointing as the noise itself. The guy simply shrugged, said he hadn’t been on duty and thought it had been a private party in the rooftop bar. There was no real apology and no offer of compensation. Instead, he started telling me about the problems he’d had with noise from All Points East because he lived nearby — a festival we’d actually attended the previous day. I’m still not quite sure what point he was trying to make! It’s a real shame because the room was genuinely excellent and we thought we were going to have a great stay. But if a hotel is going to host events with music until around 3am, guests need to be warned — and ideally not put in rooms where they’re expected to sleep through it. On that basis, unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay again."

"We had a wonderful stay at the One Hundred Shoreditch, the staff are so friendly and helpful, we were particularly welcomed by Shane and he gave us some great recommendations for shopping around the area too. The hotel is ideally situated in Shoreditch which is a vibrant and diverse community, full of roof top bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. The hotel rooms are decorated in a tasteful, rustic / Nordic contemporary feel, bright and airy, with the most comfortable bed and pillows, making for an excellent restful few nights sleep. There is a great atmosphere in the foyer and lounge, open to the community and used as a working hub and meeting place too. We had an enjoyable, relaxing and fun stay and will definitely return soon."

"Lovely hotel with large, air conditioned rooms! Rooftop restaurant on top for an added bonus. Friendly staff."
