A very comfortable place to stay and good central location - handy for sights like St Paul’s, Tower of London and British Museum.
It was very clean indeed, and the layout and furnishings make it easy to keep track of your things. It is well stocked with things you may need such as kitchenware and utilities. There’s a nice set of London books and literature, an Xbox, and some games.
Nearby, there is both a Sainsbury’s Local and Tesco Express. Farringdon tube is a few minutes walk and it’s well connected by bus. On weekday lunchtimes Leather Lane has a varied street food market. The street itself is narrow and therefore quiet. Hatton Garden is primarily a jeweller’s area so you need to go further afield for other types of shopping, but there’s was an element of fun when the place opposite was in the news for holding a 2m diamond that the owner had nearly chucked out by accident.
We visited as a family with kids aged 6 and 7, and the place worked well for us. You’ll need to state how you’ll use the beds as not all will be made up if there are less than 6 in your party. It’s over four floors (kitchen and living space at top) so isn’t suitable for those who struggle with stairs. Similarly, I think it would be tricky if you have very small kids and normally use stair gates at home.
Being able to use the parking space was a great bonus for family travel, as wrestling luggage and children on public transport would have been difficult. If your car won’t fit, Saffron Hill has a car park very close by. Bear in mind Hatton Place is in the Congestion Charge Zone and ULEZ.
