Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Corner London City receives praise for its convenient location near the tube, making it easy to reach the city center in about 10 minutes and explore landmarks like the Sky Garden and Tower Bridge. Guests appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms, with some noting the unique artistic touches in each room. While some guests have found the bathroom pod design less ideal in terms of privacy, the varied and delicious breakfast, especially the pancake machine, is a recurring highlight, alongside the availability of Romanian food.

Fantastic Hotel Stay!

excellent breakfastreasonable ratedirty floor
The included breakfast was excellent. It helped to start each day without searching for a place to eat. The location was great. It was a short walk to a tube station. The decor was also nice. The nightly rate was very reasonable, allowing the trip to happen.
The air conditioning did not work well, I found the room to be too warm. The floors in the room were also dirty. I tried to get two room keys. getting a second key deactivated the first key.
Service

The staff were helpful, especially at check-in and check-out. They answered all questions and provided directions. The breakfast service was efficient, with staff replenishing items quickly. The dining area was always clean and well-kept.
