The hype
Travelers love the aesthetic and the kitchenette convenience, but many are shocked by how small the 'Micro Studios' actually are.
Buckle Street Studios By Locke
$150-250/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You're a solo traveler or digital nomad who wants a high-design micro-apartment in East London without the typical London price tag.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Incredible interior design that feels like a curated Pinterest board
- Access to the larger Leman Locke amenities next door (gym, restaurant)
- Location is unbeatable for Shoreditch, Brick Lane, and the City
Brzi pregled: It's basically a luxury dorm room for adults—stylish and functional, but don't expect to do yoga in your micro-studio.
Pregledano od @conciergekate: I stayed in this studio and it was the perfect base for my London trip. The design is incredibly soothing, the coffee setup is top-tier, and the location in Aldgate made getting around super easy. It felt more like a chic apartment than a hotel room.

Reality check
The 'windowless' feel in some internal rooms and the bright green emergency light over the door are frequent sleep-killers.
- You need a reliable workspace and fast Wi-Fi
- You plan to eat out mostly but want a fridge/microwave for snacks
- You appreciate high-end design over square footage
Čistoća i održavanje

- Maintenance: High standard, everything feels new and designer-quality.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and high quality, but you only get one set unless you pay/ask for more.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'fake balcony' in some rooms is just a railing you can't step out on.
💡The shower controls can be tricky—turn the knob towards the wall for the rain shower to avoid getting blasted by the wand.
💡There is no oven in the Micro Studios, just a microwave and hob.
💡The 'Concept Store' vibe means you might be living next to a display case of sneakers.
💡The green emergency light in the room is surprisingly bright at night.
