The property is.beautifully decorated and very quirky but mostly in a positive way. We had a spacious room with a separate sitting area that was just wonderful. And we enjoyed the coffee each morning delivered to our room. The Liverpool station is very close with connections to every part of the city and the hotel is right next to Spitafields with many shops and restaurants. What we did not like was the darkness of the room, the very strange and uncomfortable toilet, and the faucets which were separate too that it was hard to get water that wasnt either too hot or too cold. The service staff was excellent and very responsive and the people at the front desk were very nice but not as knowledgeable about the area as we expected.

The staff at Batty Langley's are utterly fantastic; they are knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely considerate, and if I could give them 6 stars, I would. I enjoyed my stay immensely. The property is charming and a very easy walk to the Liverpool Street Station, which is the most convenient location I've stayed in yet (and this was my 11th visit to London). If circumstances allow, I hope to stay there again.

Home away from home. Incredibly cozy hotel with multiple shared lounges. Located in a great area with great access to bars, restaurants, and things to do (and surprisingly quiet). Bonus points for comfortable bed with soft sheets and firm-enough mattress.

Quiet, but convenient neighborhood
Our 1 week stay at Batty Langley was excellent. The staff was very friendly and professional. They don't have a restaurant or in house breakfast, but will deliver breakfast to you if ordered the night before. (We chose to go explore & have breakfast locally. Often we chose hotels with modern decor, but decided to try a hotel with more of an old, European feel. It is smartly decorated with a mix of antiques and modern amenities. We would highly recommend it.

This place had great decor and service and gave us a historical view into London life with a modern touch. I loved the beautiful sitting rooms on the main level, filled with an awesome selection of old, interesting books, the gorgeous hotel room and breakfast each morning that included the best tea arrangement. Being immersed in this decor was dreamy and I will be thinking about it for years to come.

This is the (Georgian) Life!
The hotel, one of three in the group, is just by Spitalfields Market and is a beautiful Georgian building next door to the very interesting Dennis Sever's House. The rooms all have old oak furniture and public rooms have working fire places. There is room service but any meals are taken in your room. The staff are charming and especially at Christmas, it looks like something from a fairy tale. If I have a small gripe it's that the hotel was much too hot - the weather was unseasonably warm, but even with the heating off in my room, I needed the window open. Also - I think all hotels should provide free drinking water in the rooms, rather than have to pay for the bottled stuff. But, I have stayed here before and I will certainly stay here again. That goes for Hazlitt's and The Rookery (the others in the group, too).

Always an amazing stay
Another wonderful 2 night stay in Batty Langleys - it never disappoints. From the very friendly and helpful staff, to the beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms, with great designed bathrooms, the homely lounge areas and well stocked honesty bar, the delicious breakfast offerings to the fabulous location with Brick Lane, Shoreditch and Spitalfields on the door step. It’s a real home from home experience. I almost don’t want to tell anyone how lovely this place is and keep it our secret.

This property was fantastic. The Spitalfields/Shoreditch area was interested but definitely you had to be careful where you walked in the dark. We never felt unsafe however, we just needed caution. Loved to staff and atmosphere in Batty Langley. The breakfasts and beverages available were excellent.

I booked this as part of a last minute business trip, and it was lovely - the room was beautiful, very clean, the bed was deep and soft, and you could have kept a whale in the bath. Best cup of tea ever, in the morning. It would have been even better if there had been a grab rail by the bath and it would have been nice to get catch-up tv. Only downside, and this is very picky, is that I found one of the portraits in the bedroom was a bit creepy! Would definitely book again.

Reception staff need training
The whole stay was fantastic and completely faultless - up until the point we went back to the hotel to collect our luggage. I was sitting in reception waiting for my partner and overhead one of the receptionists reprimanding an junior member of staff behind the reception desk. This is 1) completely unprofessional to do this in a public area and 2) as someone who has worked in hospitality, the manner in which it was done was rude and demeaning to the junior member of staff. Not a good impression to leave the hotel with

Our room was quiet. It is in a bustling area. I prefer a hotel in a residential neighborhood. I like to look out my window at a garden or courtyard. The hotel is dark and we looked out to office buildings and an alley. It is very quirky and the people are spectacular.

An enriching experience
Beautiful hotel. We were shown around the hotel by the charming staff at the point of check in. The lounges were all stunning, with an amazing to detail and comfort. The honesty bars were a special touch and a unique experience in leisure. The room itself was charming and full of detail. The highlight was the sumptuous bathroom. So relaxing. Considering it was so close to Liverpool Street station, it was so peaceful. I never expected to go and feel so destressed. Perfect for a day on my feet in London. A minor quibble was having to leave the windows open, as the aircon was limited, but honestly small fry compared to the overall ambience and sheer vintage class. Opulent would be an understatement.

Wonderful stay at Batty Langley's
We loved our stay at Batty Langley's. The front desk service was impeccable in meeting our needs, including checking in a bit early, and printing of documents needed for various tours. Rooms were cleaned and fresh towels provided daily. The lounge areas at the hotel with the wood furnishings and elegant decor were comfortable and inviting. The front desk is staffed 24/7 to handle any questions. We loved that the rooms all had names, not numbers, and you turned in your room key (an actual key, not a card to be swiped at the door) at the front desk when leaving on an activity. Also, the location is great - about a 5-minute walk to the Liverpool underground station with access to various lines. A taxi from Heathrow cost 127 Pounds ($172) - taking the Elizabeth line would have saved time and well over $100. Spitalfields Market is just around the corner with a great variety of ethnic food choices and the hotel is right next door to the Dennis Severs house - a tour there is an up close theatrical performance which we were glad that we attended. Finally, the rooms were quiet and well appointed with an air conditioning system that kept us comfortable at all times. I highly recommend Batty Langley's over a run-of-the-mill hotel room.

Completely charmed by Batty Langley’s and the cozy boutique ambience they’ve created. Had the Stilwell room which was beyond delightful. Despite active construction going on across the street the room was really quiet, with thick brick walls and double-paned windows (they don’t make ‘em like they used to). The history of the hotel is woven into its presentation and part of the charm. The staff was lovely and very accommodating. Enjoyed Shoreditch and all of its walkable dining options, particularly Dishoom and St. John Bread & Wine. Easy transport from Liverpool St tube, just down the street. Loved it!

Batty's is absolutely charming. Like taking a trip back in time with old fashioned great customer service, where the guest interest is utmost in their mind. When I say I didn't leave my hotel room for my entire stay - I literally mean it. Batty's is THAT good.

This was my first time in London. First half of my trip I stayed in a familiar chain. Then I thought I’d try something different for very English experience, and I am so very glad Batty Langley’s came up in my search (and within my price range). I’ve already forgotten the first hotel. Batty Langley’s is handsome, beautiful, romantic, comfortable and really SPECIAL. Yes, it’s close to transport, shopping, the Old Spitalfield Market, convenient to everything, friendly and helpful staff… and it is very much unlike a lot of other hotels where the pictures in the listing look totally different. The only reason I may not stay here again is because I’m curious about their other hotels.

Fantastic property. Old world charm with modern luxury. Very close to several pubs and food options that are open a bit later than the rest of london. Located close to the Liverpool tube station makes it easy to get to several attractions. Room service options are limited but plenty of food within 10 minute walk.

Batty Langley's is a superb hotel on the edge of London's East End on a brick-paved street near the bustling Spitalfields Market. The staff is exemplary - polite, discrete, friendly. We were treated with respect and kindness and every action by the staff made us feel welcome and pampered. The hotel is beautiful, taking the guest back to a time of classic design and quality of workmanship. If you want an old London experience with attentiveness to every detail of your stay, book at Batty Langley's.
