Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to FT6 Brick Lane Studio Apartment on the famous curry strip, you’ll immediately know you’re staying somewhere with character. This three-star apartment sits right in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant neighborhoods — and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building itself has that typical East London industrial feel, which actually fits perfectly with the whole Brick Lane vibe.
The Space Itself
The studio setup is pretty clever, really. You’ve got everything you need in one well-organized space, including a compact kitchen that’s surprisingly functional for whipping up breakfast or storing those late-night curry takeaways (trust me, you’ll be tempted). The room feels modern and clean, though don’t expect loads of space — it’s London, after all, and this is more about location than square footage.
Neighborhood Flavor
Here’s what I love about staying right on Brick Lane — you’re literally steps away from some of the best Bengali food in the city, but also walking distance to Shoreditch’s trendy bars and vintage shops. Sunday mornings bring the famous Brick Lane Market, which means you can grab proper bagels from the 24-hour shop downstairs (locals know it’s the real deal). The area can get pretty lively on weekends, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
Getting Around
The nearest tube stations are Aldgate East and Liverpool Street, both about a 10-minute walk — not bad at all for central London. You know what’s actually quite handy? The area’s well-connected by buses too, and there’s decent parking nearby if you’re brave enough to drive in London. I found myself walking most places though, since Spitalfields Market, the Tower of London, and even the City are all within reasonable walking distance.
Why Guests Appreciate It
This place works well for travelers who want to experience authentic East London rather than staying in some generic hotel chain. The 7.3 rating reflects what you’d expect — solid basics, great location, but nothing fancy. It’s perfect for solo travelers or couples who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city and just need a comfortable base. Just remember you’re choosing street cred and cultural immersion over hotel amenities here.

"The accommodation was good but has few things which needs to be updated."
The apartment is in good location. Few breakfast spot very nearby. Apartment has everything what we needed, and it has enough space for 3 people. Kitchen is fully equipped which is great, sheets and towels clean.
On Sunday, there are markets on the street which is especially great.
What could be improved: Bathroom was not very clean- especially floor, and the floor tiles were unstable. Bathroom sing was clogged, and it was very hard to use as it was full almost immediately. You needed to wait couple of minutes to use it again, which is annoying as there were 3 people living in the space.

"Very good"
The place was very clean overall and once we got the hang of the front door it was ok
What could be improved: It was a nightmare to locate the place and the information sent was a little limited and not the friendliest welcome the first time I called. Definitely run as a business more so it all felt quite official via calls and messages. Also a fair few stairs but that can't really be helped and the fridge is difficult to open due to the sofa being there. Also the door downstairs to get into the property didn't seem to lock or anything so anybody could walk into the building

"Good"
Very easy to find and close to the center.
What could be improved: It could be cleaner. It was very poorly cleaned - hairs everywhere, the rugs were very dirty and seemed like it weren’t vacuumed at all.

Perfect little studio, recently refurbished, super clean, comfy bed and everything you could need for short stay.
Lovely host to deal with, genuinely will try stay here on future trips to London.

"Too hot to sleep despite moderate outside temperatures"
The apartment itself is nice and clean, communication during the stay worked well. The location is also good. However the heat in the studio overshadowed the rest.
What could be improved: It was unbearably hot inside (around 30 degrees, with open windows, open blinds and fan on all night, it didn’t get colder than 27 degrees). It meant I could not sleep. Temperatures outside were less than 25 during the day and 18 at night so it really is the flat that heats up and then doesn’t have a proper window to open so the heat stays for days and weeks.

"Despite great location, smaller than expected and series of disappointments."
Great location. Comfy bed.
What could be improved: Front door looks like as if it were a drug den, it was impossible to lock it, giving free entry into the building for anyone from the street.
Other occupants could be heard walking around until 4a.m., impossible to sleep.
Bathroom floor tiles coming loose.
Two extra chairs in the corner taking up space.
Curtains could not be closed properly.

"Quite good."
Room was clean
What could be improved: Some little things were not working well, the room temperature was somehow high always even though I called about it, toilet shit broken, shower handle was broken too. I think they need to fix those.
