New & Spacious Studio in Old St

First Impressions

Walking into New & Spacious Studio in Old St, you immediately get that modern London vibe — clean lines, smart use of space, and that satisfying feeling when a place actually lives up to its name. The studio really is spacious by London standards, which honestly caught me off guard. I mean, you know how these city apartment listings can be… let’s just say optimistic about their square footage.

The Space That Works

The open layout here actually makes sense, not like some places where they’ve just knocked down walls and called it a day. There’s a proper kitchen area that doesn’t feel like an afterthought — you can actually cook a real meal without bumping into the bed every two seconds. The whole setup flows naturally from sleeping area to living space, and there’s enough storage that you won’t be living out of your suitcase for the entire stay.

Old Street Location

What I love about this spot on Vestry Street is that you’re right in the thick of things without the chaos of being directly on Old Street itself. It’s that sweet spot where you can walk to Shoreditch’s best bits in five minutes, but you’ll actually get some sleep at night. The Silicon Roundabout crowd knows this area well — there’s proper coffee shops nearby, not just tourist traps, and you’re close enough to the Northern line that the rest of London doesn’t feel like a trek.

The Details That Matter

This four-star place gets the practical stuff right. The Wi-Fi actually works (crucial if you’re trying to get anything done), and the shower has decent water pressure — you’d be surprised how often London accommodations miss that mark. The windows are large enough to let in actual daylight, which matters more than you think when you’re dealing with those short winter days. There’s also decent soundproofing, so the street noise won’t have you counting sheep at 2 AM.

Why Guests Love It

Look, it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in London, but it nails what most travelers actually want — space to breathe, a functional setup, and a location that puts you where you want to be. The 7.6 rating feels about right; it’s solid without any major surprises, good or bad. You’ll spend your time exploring Hackney’s galleries and markets, not stuck in a cramped room wondering why you didn’t splurge on somewhere bigger. For the price point and location, it’s one of those places that just works.
