Batty Langley's Hotel 12 Folgate Street, London E1 6BX

"Myself and my partner had a belated romantic getaway to this unique hotel and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The hotel itself is stunning inside and like being inside one of the finest Georgian houses of 19th century London. It is sparkling and spotless but also beautifully warm and cosy too. We were made to feel so at home and welcome. We arrived early and the lovely staff on reception took our bags and gave us a choice of 3 luxurious lounges to choose from while our room was finished. We had a delightful private lounge area next to our bedroom (Odabiah Shuttleworth was the quirky room name). ALL of the staff seem genuinely happy and go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We ate out for lunch and just had M&S nibbles in our room for the evening and although there’s no restaurant the room service menu looked lovely. The (hot) breakfast tray in our room the next morning (can also have in one of the lounges) had such attention to detail and was another, of the many highlights. An experience to remember and we’re now thinking of checking out the other hotels by the same group."

"This place is amazing! I haven’t had the chance to leave a review, but visited late September. The front desk people are the absolute sweetest, actually all the staff was amazing! They were so nice to us, and helped us get around, told us about restaurants to try. The hotel itself is gorgeous. We stood in the Batty Langley room, which has a huge terrace. Super nice and absolutely worth a visit!!"

"Staff was so helpful. I got there way too early and they still tried hard to accommodate even though they have no obligation to. The decor is amazing. Vintage London vibes. Definitely recommend this to anyone staying in the area."

"The coolest hotel I have stayed at in London. Located down a side street where you can slip away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were all very helpful and attentive, everything was very clean and well presented. The rooms are all unique and our bed was super comfortable. Bath was lovely. Hope to return soon - many thanks."

"Amazing stay. Great location, tucked down a side street but close to everything including the tube and the food market. The service is sublime — truly make you feel welcome. The bath tubs are out of this world, and don’t forget to try the breakfast. Great value for the area and it feels like a real treat. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you."
