The location is very good with lots of places to eat nearby and the hotel was nice and quiet. The hotel team are extremely helpful and on hand at all times and nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed the decor and ambience.

The hotel is lovely and unique. The service was good but the only thing that was a slight let down was the value for money of the stay and not sure it is really a five star property having stayed at five star properties - although as stated the team were very helpful so the service was probably five star, just not the property. Also when I checked in I was told we had received a complimentary upgrade but we hadn’t. We were in the room I had booked - I had done the upgrade myself through booking .com weeks before our stay and was charged the correct rate. So this then felt a little disappointing as had let the team know it was a special occasion. When I queried the team confirmed it was as per my original booking and no I hadn’t been given an upgrade.

We arrived earlier than expected, the room was not ready but we were made most welcome, and offered refreshments in one of there resting rooms. When we checked in we were upgraded, the room didn't disappoint in any way, this is not our first visit or last, the staff could not be more helpful if they tried, we arrived back after the first night and ordered a pot of tea for two at the desk when we came in and we only just beat them back to the room, we only ordered breakfast for our second morning and it arrived at the time arranged (you eat in your room), the food we ordered could not have been better and set us up or the day. The hotel is situated 2 minutes walk from Spitalfields Market, we walked everywhere as you see more of the city but, with cabs, buses and underground all local, getting about the city is easy and fast. We stop here as a treat to ourselves because we are made to feel special and spoilt.

We should have booked for longer.

The team were very welcoming and helped put my luggage in my room as I was in a rush & they got it out when I was in a rush the next day . You really felt the team were trying to help you meet your work commitments . We are always running these days with very little time and too much on our minds They even had a spare toothbrush ! Very comfortable bed in a beautifully decorated room The snacks were fun & original The breakfast was delicious & on time ! The bathroom was particularly good and there was a lot of space which helps to relax in the morning and evening . Very comfortable bed

I liked everything . In the end it is a lot of money for one night but u did feel very restored and my stay was a pleasure end to end so in a frantic world the hotel provided real peace & pleasure .

Lovely boutique hotel, great staff, amazing room and good breakfast.

1. The atmosphere is superb, you will feel transported to another time 2. Beautiful, beautiful hotel. So many intricate details everywhere 3. Exceptional level of service. I was never made to feel i was bothering anyone, infact gentleman at the reception was kind enough to open the library for me to sit in after he heard he trying the handle 4. Ideal location to explore shoreditch, spitalfields market, bricklane etc 5. The bread basket is so good! Must try for breakfast

1. The only thing was that the shower had lukewarm water not hot probably because of old plumbing.

The peace and quiet of the location and hotel, despite it being really close to the busy Spitalfields market area. Everything was really tasteful and thoughtful. The history of the building is fascinating and there is some humour in how this is played out within the building.

It is an expensive stay and it would be better if breakfast was included as part of the price. Having said that, I understand how the price affects the overall offer and probably enables it to retain the calm and peace of the place so a tricky balance to strike. You get what you pay for I guess!

Everything was absolutely fantastic. This isn't the sort of hotel we frequent as it's on the higher end, but it was definitely worth it. The staff were exceptional and made us feel welcome and were incredibly kind. They accommodated us, looked after our luggage even after we checked out. They never made anything feel like a hassle. It felt more like a home than a hotel. Loved the dual shower and bath, and the his and hers sinks. Absolutely beautiful room.

An alarm sounded which I thought was me setting the fire alarm off, but I think was to let us know we had to leave soon.

We can’t say enough about how much we appreciate the Batty Langley experience and the tremendous character of this hotel and staff. Simply fantastic. We stayed one night, then walked Hadrian’s Wall up north for a week, and returned for 5 more nights of rest in our beautiful “Margaret Wollstonecraft” room. Incredible people. Incredible location close to Liverpool Street Station, Spitalfields, and so much more. We have enjoyed the Rookery, too, their partner over in Farringdon. Both simply awesome. This group is our go to for London hospitality. We are so grateful. Thank you!

Nothing

This was my second time at Batty Langleys, and I absolutely love staying here. The room is immaculate, the bed is comfy and the bath is gorgeous. I had a load of work to do, and it was beautifully peaceful. Also, morning tea and biscuits are perfect, thank you so much.

it would have been nice to have a kettle, so I could have made myself tea while I worked. And I find the portraits a bit creepy while I'm trying to get to sleep. But I will definitely book again if I can.

London is populated with wonderful hotels of all shapes, sizes and prices but Batty Langley's is something special. The room was designed to encapsulate the historical era perfectly and the bathroom was the size of the bedroom - with roll top bath, heated flooring and a lovely shower there was no detail left to chance. The toiletries were beautiful too, and lowering the impact on the environment.

Our own reservation was that breakfast was not included and, with such a high room rate, it should be. With 2 coffees each on the Saturday and breakfast on the Sunday, our bill increased by nearly £50.
