Overview

First Impressions

New Modern Studio in Bricklane sits right in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant neighborhoods, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you’re looking to experience the real East London vibe. This three-star spot occupies a converted building on Brick Lane itself — you know, the famous curry mile — so you’re literally steps away from some of the best Indian food in the city. The building has that typical London charm where modern updates meet old-school architecture, though don’t expect anything fancy here.

The Studio Space

The room itself is compact but thoughtfully designed, which is exactly what you’d expect from a modern studio setup. Everything feels fresh and clean, with a simple color palette that makes the small space feel bigger than it actually is. There’s a kitchenette tucked into one corner — basic but functional if you want to grab groceries from the nearby Tesco Express and save a few pounds on meals. The bed is comfortable enough, and there’s decent storage space considering you’re essentially living in one room.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s where this place really shines — Brick Lane is absolutely buzzing, especially on weekends when the markets are in full swing. You’ve got Spitalfields Market just a few minutes’ walk away, and honestly, you could spend hours wandering through the vintage stalls and food vendors. The street art around here is incredible too; I mean, some of the best Banksy pieces are practically on your doorstep. Liverpool Street station is about a 10-minute walk, so getting around London is pretty straightforward.

Practical Considerations

Now, let’s be real about a few things — this isn’t a quiet retreat. Brick Lane gets lively, especially Thursday through Sunday nights when people are bar-hopping and the restaurant scene is at its peak. The walls aren’t exactly soundproof, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs. There’s no on-site parking, but that’s pretty standard for this part of London anyway — you’re better off using public transport or walking everywhere.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about this place is that it puts you right in the middle of authentic London culture without the tourist trap feeling you get in places like Covent Garden. You can grab amazing bagels from Beigel Bake (which never closes, by the way), explore the Sunday markets, and still be in Central London in 15 minutes on the tube. For the price point and the experience of staying somewhere with real character, it’s actually pretty solid value — just don’t expect hotel-style service or amenities.

"Defected Handle, Poor Communication, and No Refund"
The apartment itself was as described, with a clean interior and sufficient space for a short stay. It included a double bed for two, a sofa for a third guest, and a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed for a weekend visit.
What could be improved: Upon arrival, we noticed a faint smell of urine in the stairwell leading to the apartment. While the listing stated the apartment would be sealed after cleaning, there was no signage indicating this had occurred. Still, the overall cleanliness inside was acceptable. The major issue was with the apartment’s front door. The electronic handle, which was supposed to lock automatically, was defective. Although pulling the handle down would not open the door, lifting it upwards allowed access without a code, thus posing a serious security risk. We contacted the property immediately to report the problem and requested urgent assistance. Unfortunately, we were told that no inspection would take place until 11:00 AM the next day. Given the security concerns, we had no choice but to book alternative accommodation that same evening. The following day, communication remained poor. We finally received confirmation at 3:00 PM that the lock was indeed defected and that a replacement had been ordered, but would arrive ”within days”. Since our stay was only from Thursday to Sunday, this was not acceptable. We explained that we could not stay in a property that was not secure and requested a full refund. Instead, we received contradictory responses from another representative - who claimed the lock was not broken. We clarified that this contradicted the previous confirmation of the defect and reiterated that the door could be opened without a code by simply lifting the handle. Around 8:00 PM, we were informed the lock would be repaired by 9:00 PM, but by then we had already secured other accommodation and once again requested a refund. After that, communication from the property ceased entirely. We are extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled. Not only was the apartment unsafe, but the lack of clear communication and refusal to issue a refund - despite evidence and our early departure - is unacceptable.

"Až na drobné detaily jsme byli velmi spokojeni."
Ubytování odpovídalo fotkám, jeho umístění v rámco Londýna je velmi praktické,
What could be improved: V pátek a v sobotu v noci byl velký hluk na chodbě, ze které se vcházelo na pronajatého bytu.
