"Overall the hotel was worthy of its 4 star status, but the senior staff should compensate their customers for extreme circumstances of inconvenience as described above. Please not I did complete a customer satisfaction card at the timr of checkout highlighting the bad points described above. At the time of writing these comments I am yet to receive an official response. " (97707191)
Modern & contemporary; good bar & restaurant; original room had new facilities
The plumbing on the wash basin was detatched and on pulling out the plug water poured over the bathroom floor. This was reported to reception @ 7:30pm. On arriving back in the room at 11:30pm the plumbing had been 'pushed together' and consequently we encountered the same issue as earlier in the evening. This was reported to reception and we were advised to change rooms which we did shortly before midnight. Please bear in mind that we booked the hotel to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary and this matter put a dampener on the day. We were moved from to a room with less facilities than we had originally. I did express this concern to the duty manager who replied that it was not possible to move the facilities of the previous room. Unfortunately, we were not given the option to move to a superior room.

"Excellent - easily comparable to a stay in a more expensive hotel. A very enjoyable experience." (108062918)
Although, obviously not wealthy, nor a business client, I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable at all times.
No bad points that I was aware of.

"I read all the reveiws of this hotel and we were not dissapointed. The hotel staff were welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The superior king room was very comfortable, with all the comforts of home, as it had a sitting area with a wide screen tv and sofa. The room had a fridge which was very handy. The bathroom was quite luxurious and even had a complimentary rubber duck! We did not eat at the hotel, however we had drinks in the bar area, again this was very comfortable." (97793386)
The hotel offered a warm welcome. Upon arrival we were informed at check in thta we had been upgraded to a superior king room at no extra cost. The room was very comfortable, with all the comforts of home. We will return to this hotel when staying in London.

"Our room was very nice and modern. We had dinner at the hotel on our first night and the only complaint would be that the portions were a bit small. We got in just before last orders and ordered two main meals as it was late. However they still gave us complimentary starters (whitebait with a very nice sauce). I had the rabbit's leg with pearl barley which was cooked to a good standard. Cost £55 including drinks for two." (99192347)
very smart hotel

"Overall the hotel was very nice and the room, plus the room service was great. However the stay was let down a little by some members of staff on the front desk. My partner stood at the front desk for nearly 10min without anyone helping her when she needed a taxi. When she did ask for assistance the was told to Wait a moment while the guy had a chat with somone. When he finnaly did talk to her, he said I could call a cab but you will have to wait about 20min, your better off going out on the main road and getting one yourself To me that was not helpfull service." (99600760)
Very modern and clean.
Some off the staff were rude and unfiendly.

"This luxurious 4 star hotel is worthy of a five star rating for both its accommodation and service. It offers stylish, spacious and tranquil accommodation in an enviable position in the City. The rooms are modern and trendy offering both comfort and elegance. It offers exceptional value for money. The staff were attentive, helpful and efficient. This has to be one of the best hotels in the City - if you book it you will not be disappointed." (99999223)

Great design, friendly staff
Some of the other guest returned to their rooms after midnight and they were extremely noisy - which woke us up from our sleep.

The shower- just divine! Very comfortable bed, good level of cleanliness. Quiet but convenient location.
The view from the window which you can't really do anything about.

I found the rooms to be very tastefully decorated. I espcially liked the corridors!!! The walk in shower was a nice surprise.
The view wasn't that pleasant.

"As an overal experience of my stay in Apex, i thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation. If i were to suggest any modifications during the booking procedure then i will happier knowing what room i have booked and the type of view the room is overlooking." (3305009356)
The contempory style room portrayed a very relaxing feel and the bath room with both bath tub and walk in shower suited both me and my partner. I also extremely appreciated how the helpful the staff was and the welcoming feeling they gave us.
The pictures on-line for a supreme double bedroom was not exactly what i got, i was excepting a sofa but unfortunately there was not any around. But i can understand pictures can be decieving.
