easyHotel Old Street Barbican

The staff was very friendly and helpful

There is no restaurant. There is no desk or space to work in the room There is no closet with hangers or a ironing board There is no coffee making facilities in the room The room is clean but incredibly small. There is almost no space between the bed and the wall

I chose The hotel because it was near the place I had business in and because of the price. It was clean.

It was very uncomfortable: the double bed is not large enough for two people not married to each other. There is absolutely no place to put down anything. Not a table, not a shelf, not a chair, no nightstand, nothing. One coathanger per person and you cannot move it from its high place. you have to keep your suitcase on the floor and for two elderly ladies like us the bending down and up to get out even a handkerchief is very unpleasant. The cappuccino from the vending machine was excellent but of course, putting it down on the edge of the bed meant that it Eventually ended up on the floor.

Price v nearby hotels doesn't justify the lack of facilties

Comfortable bed in a convenient and pleasant city neighbourhood.

No television No table or nghtstand Not even a plastic cup for toothbrush etc I accept that the concept is basic but this is way below the 'basic' offering of something like IBIS budget, and the difference with more established standard hotels was only £50 which led me to expect more in future would rather pay the difference. If you're a backpacker or use hostels this will feel fine but not a business traveler who finds this included on their company hotel list.
