The hype
Travelers obsess over the location and the free snacks, but the 'suites' often disappoint by just being large rooms without separate living areas.
Andaz London Liverpool Street-A Concept By Hyatt
$250-450/ nacht
Boek dit als You want to sleep inside a piece of Victorian history that’s been injected with East London cool, directly on top of the city's best transit hub.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Unbeatable connectivity: The Elizabeth Line is literally downstairs
- Free minibar (non-alcoholic) restocked daily with crisps and chocolates
- Five distinct on-site dining spots, including a stunning 1901 ballroom for breakfast
Snel Overzicht: It's a corporate hotel in a party neighborhood that tries hard to be cool—and mostly succeeds, if you ignore the train rumbles.
Beoordeeld door @yellowshoesorangeumbrella: I was blown away by how generous this hotel is! From the free minibar to the daily wine hour, I felt like a total VIP without spending extra. Discovering the secret Masonic Temple inside was the cherry on top of a perfect city stay.

Reality check
The 'discretionary' service charge on the room bill catches almost everyone off guard and leaves a sour taste at checkout.
- You need to be at Heathrow in 35 minutes (Elizabeth Line is a game changer)
- You love the grit and graffiti of Shoreditch but want a safe, polished home base
- You appreciate freebies like wine hours in the lobby and daily restocked snacks
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally sharp and daily. They actually restock the free snacks, which is the litmus test for attention to detail.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly spotless, though some guests report slow-draining sinks and the occasional 'sewage' whiff from older plumbing.
- Maintenance: The building is old (1884), so expect some quirks like peeling paint on external window frames or creaky floorboards.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-quality white linens. Towels are fluffy and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of their signature 'T-London' lemongrass scent; hallways are neutral.

- Connecting doors in some rooms that let conversation bleed through
Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The lobby is not on the ground floor; you enter and are guided to a 'living room' for check-in on iPads
- Breakfast is excellent but expensive (£28) if not included in your rate
- The area (The City) is buzzing M-F but can feel dead quiet on weekends, while Shoreditch nearby goes wild
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Earplugs (essential for lower floors)
- US-to-UK power adapter (though some rooms have USB ports, they aren't universal)
- Swimsuit for the steam room (even without a pool, it's a nice unwind)
Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Large King (formerly Deluxe King) for actual space to open a suitcase
- Top floor rooms for quirky eaves and slightly less train vibration
Kamers om te vermijden
- Atrium King rooms (often windowless feel, dark, and look into the lobby)
- Rooms near the elevators (noise bleed is a common complaint)

“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on a high floor, facing away from the main street, and NOT an Atrium/interior view room. Please ensure no connecting door if possible.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there really a hidden fee on the room rate?
Yes, a 5% 'discretionary service charge' is frequently added to the room bill. It is optional, so you must explicitly ask to have it removed at checkout.
Does the hotel have a pool?
No. There is a health club with a steam room and gym, but no swimming pool.
Is it noisy?
It can be. You are directly above a train station. While windows are double-glazed against street noise, structural vibration from trains is harder to block.
How far is Shoreditch?
You are technically on the border. A 5-minute walk north puts you in the heart of Shoreditch's bars and markets.
Are the drinks in the room actually free?
Yes, the non-alcoholic minibar (juices, sodas, water) and snacks (crisps, chocolate) are free and restocked daily.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it is pet-friendly. The fee is approximately £50 per pet per stay.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The Masonic Temple inside the hotel is a hidden gem often used for events—ask the concierge if you can peek inside; it's wild.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast one day and walk 5 minutes to Spitalfields Market for amazing local food stalls.
- ✨
Join the evening 'wine hour' in the lobby for free drinks and canapés—it's a genuine perk, not a sales pitch.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The windows in some rooms are incredibly dirty on the outside due to the building's age and location.
💡The 'open plan' bathrooms in some rooms have glass partitions that offer zero privacy—awkward for friends traveling together.
💡You can enter the hotel directly from the station concourse if you know the secret side door near the McDonald's.
💡The elevators can be confusingly slow and require a key card tap that often fails on the first try.
💡The 'view' from many rooms is just the office building across the narrow street—don't expect sweeping London vistas.
