Atelier EC1 by Bridgestreet
3.5 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (90)
"We were relocated to the property in Suffolk Street because their property we initially booked had a problem. After being shown to a basement apartment, which we found rather stale and cheerless, we were relocated to a quiet and well-appointed studio on the second floor. Much better. The property is in a very quiet lane off a very busy street in London’s business district, and is incredibly well situated for walks to St Paul’s, Southwark and Millenium Bridges and a 2 minute walk to Cannon...

They moved me to Clink261, but it was dirty and not what I originally signed up for. You need to pay for towels that you don’t even get to keep."
