First Impressions
London Central 1 bed deluxe-Moorgate caught me off guard — in the best way possible. I mean, you’re expecting just another serviced apartment in the City, but this place actually delivers something special. The building itself sits right in the heart of London’s financial district, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you’re here for business or want easy access to everything central.
The Space
The one-bedroom unit is what I’d call proper deluxe — not just marketing speak. You’ve got a full kitchen that’s actually usable (I made coffee every morning, no problem), and the living area doesn’t feel cramped like some places I’ve stayed. The bedroom is separate, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to wind down after a long day exploring the city. Everything feels fresh and well-maintained, definitely living up to that four-star rating.
Location Perks
Here’s what I love about Moorgate — you’re literally walking distance from both the Barbican and Liverpool Street. The Tube connections are brilliant, and if you know London at all, you’ll appreciate being this close to Borough Market and the South Bank without the tourist chaos right outside your door. Plus, there’s a surprising number of decent pubs tucked away in the side streets that most visitors never find.
Daily Life
What actually impressed me was how livable this place feels. There’s proper storage space, the WiFi works without constantly cutting out, and the shower has decent pressure — you know, the stuff that matters when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. I spent a few evenings just cooking dinner and watching Netflix, which sounds boring but felt pretty perfect after busy days out.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t the fanciest place in London, but it gets the fundamentals right. The 9-point rating makes sense when you consider what you’re actually getting — a proper home base in one of the city’s most connected areas, without paying West End prices. If you’re the type who values having your own space over hotel services, this place delivers exactly what it promises.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
