They moved me to Clink261, but it was dirty and not what I originally signed up for. You need to pay for towels that you don’t even get to keep."

Atelier EC1 by Bridgestreet

3.5 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (90)
"We were relocated to the property in Suffolk Street because their property we initially booked had a problem. After being shown to a basement apartment, which we found rather stale and cheerless, we were relocated to a quiet and well-appointed studio on the second floor. Much better. The property is in a very quiet lane off a very busy street in London’s business district, and is incredibly well situated for walks to St Paul’s, Southwark and Millenium Bridges and a 2 minute walk to Cannon...
