Citadines Prestige Holborn-Covent Garden

Location great but poor value for money — almost $ 300 for one night in what felt like someone’s office, with sweeping views of a very busy waste disposal facility.

La résidence est idéalement située à deux pas du métro Holborn sur la Central et la Picadilly Line.
Elle propose tous les services que l’on peut attendre de ce type de résidence (dont une consigne pour vo valises si vous arrivez avant l’heure de check-​in).
L’accueil est très courtois et professionnel.
Le studio était propre et soigné (à quelques détails près: rideau de douche dans un état douteux). Petit déjeuner correct avec suffisamment de choix.
En revanche, l’isolation phonique entre les appartements/​chambre et studios est désastreuse. Si vos voisins sont bruyants (même à peine), attendez vous à passer une nuit agitée. Dans tous les cas, vous entendrez les allées et venues dans le couloir de votre chambre. Dommage…

Waren im Mai in London und habe drei Nächte in diesen Aparthotel übernachtet.
Das Hotel ist zentral und liegt keine 5 Miniten Fußweg von der U-​Bahn entfernt. In der nähren Umgebung gibt es mehrere Cafés, in welchen man super Frühstücken kann. Um die Ecke ist auch ein kleiner Markt. Dieser hat 24 Stunden offen.
Das Hotel ist sehr groß und sauber.
Frühstück hätten wir vor Ort gegen Aufpreis buchen können.
Unser Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber. Im Zimmer ist eine kleine Küchenzeile mit dem nötigsten Geschirr. Das Bad war sehr geräumig.
Da es ein Aparthotel ist, gibt es kein Zimmerservice. Also Handtücher nicht gleich auf den Boden werfen
Ein Lob muss ich an die Organisation aussprechen.
Wir waren zu viert und haben bei der Buchung geäußert, dass wir gerne zwei Zimmer nebeneinander möchten. Dies hat mit erstaunen funktioniert. Danke.
Preislich ist es für London angemessen.

Bouquets: Great location with Holborn station less than 5 mins walk away. Proximity to Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, supermarket, pharmacy, eateries like Kimchee (Korean), Starbucks, itsu (jap), pret a manger etc. onsite laundrette with dryer, free coffee making machine available 24/​7, gym. Warm, friendly front desk.
Brickbats: stayed here for 9 nights & wifi was hopeless; had to keep asking for password everyday cos apparently it resets itself every night. No housekeeping if you stay between 0 – 4 nights; it comes only on 4^th night if u stay longer. Something to consider if you’re the type who expects beds made and bins emptied. Be prepared to clear your own bins. Place is small for family of 4, even 2 adults, 2 older children as there’s only 1 double bed in the bedroom and a narrow sofa bed in the narrow living room/​kitchenette. 1 toilet & 1 separate bathroom. Hardly any place to move if you have big luggage. Quite quiet but hallways can be noisy if people talk and walk past. Great place if location is important but better off getting 2 BR in hotel cos hard to share facilities among 4 people in an apartment without daily housekeeping.

A good hotel: a very good ubication, is near the tube (central line and picadilly line) and you can have breakfast at the hotel. In front the hotel you have a pharmacy and a supermarket.
One of the problem is that the rooms are smaller.

I ended up here for a night somewhat accidentally. My friend had booked it but had a family emergency so couldn’t make it and it was non-refundable…so she put me on the booking! It’s an apart’hotel offering studio and one bed suites. Looking at prices, it seems that a studio would run one approximately £210-£250/night midweek in October and a one bed apartment would be £311.
I emailed re the change of occupier and Viviana was super helpful. I was still a bit nervous that it would all go horribly wrong prior to arrival though and was prepared to head back to Birmingham. As it happens, I somehow ended up with an upgrade to a one bed apartment which is something that simply never happens to me usually! The reception was warm and the girl I dealt with was very pleasant. In fact, everyone I encountered there was really friendly and helpful. It was refreshing!
Location is great-​pretty much across the road from Holborn tube exit onto High Holborn and surrounded by restaurants and shops. My room was #501. The one bed apartments consist of a kitchen cum living room, bedroom, bath, separate toilet and hall storage cupboard. It’s well set up for self catering with microwave, hob, dishwasher, fridge, iron, ironing board etc. Wifi is free and fast. A huge TV in the living room has all the Freeview channels and there is a small TV in the bedroom too.
Storage would be a bit tight for someone with any reasonable amount of baggage but there is a luggage room downstairs. I used it after checking out but would think it’s available for residents too. The bed was comfy and I slept like the dead. There’s a pull-​out sofa bed in the living room so it would sleep 4 in total.
Loved the free coffee downstairs in the lounge and the bowl of apples in the room. Continental breakfast probably isn’t worth the price. There’s a cute little gym to use and a laundry room so it would really be great for an extended stay (apart from the in-​suite storage)
Negatives: getting a bit worn-​the plunger for my bathroom sink was broken and the sink drained very slowly. The mantel and lamp in the living room were quite dusty too-​like a few week’s worth. Not very encouraging and not what I would expect given the price. There also wasn’t any shower gel in the bottle attached to the wall. Disappointing little details.

Great location — just few steps from the tube with lots of places to eat nearby. Spacious rooms, friendly staff. Decent price. If you’re looking for a good place to stay while you’re discovering London or came here for shopping this is a place to stay.

Nous sommes allés dans cet hotel il y a quelques mois pour aller voir notre fils qui faisait un stage linguistique à Londres.
L’hotel est très bien situé à 5 minutes du métro et des commerces de proximité.
Tout près de Covent Garden et de Soho.
Par contre, le personnel né fait aucun effort pour parler un peu francais ou au moins pour parler doucement en Anglais pour se faire comprendre.

Schöné, saubere Zimmer mit einer kleinen Küche.
Der Empfang war sehr freundlich.
Die Lage ist zentral, direkt gegenüber der Holborn Underground Station.
Ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen auch wenn die Preise schon recht hoch sind. Wobei London ja eh nicht das günstigste Pflaster ist.

Citadines Holborn-​Covent garden is a very convenient hotel.
Very well located, just 2−3minutes of walk to holborn subway.
The neighbourhood is nice, starbucks, sainsburry’s (supermarket), pizza express, krispy kreme, pharmacy.
The room is clean ans tidy. Convenient is a fine world to describe It. Little kitchen. Dishwasher, small fridge. Sofa bed. Queen size bed. Small TV.
Bath tube and separated toilet.
It is good of you want to stay a few nights and want to be able to cook some food in your room.

Super bien placé
Nous venons de passer 5 jours à Londres, et cet Hôtel est idéalement situé pour ceux qui circulent à pied. A 5 minutes du très animé Covent Garden, à 20 minutes de Soho, China Town, Picadilly ou encore Trafalgar, à 30 minutes de la city etc… De plus les chambres sont grandes et équipées d’un petit coin cuisine, de TV avec des chaînés en français et Internet. Je vous le conseille donc vivement. Un peu cher bien sûr, mais qu’est ce qui n’est pas cher à Londres?

I stayed here for business purposes last year. It was amazing! I really love the idea of having your own little apartment rather than staying in a hotel. The lobby of Citadines was really smart and had a great feel to it. Reception staff were very friendly. The apartment itself was large with a double bedroom, toilet, bathroom, living area and small kitchen. Everything was very comfy, clean and well kept. There was a TV and DVD player and the kitchen was fully stocked with all crockery and utensils. The apartements are ideally located on High Holborn, just opposite from the tube station with plenty of shops and restaurants around. It’s a really nice area. Also available is room service — there’s a menu in the apartment and you ring a central number, choosing food from a wide range of restaurants across London. It’s then delivered to your door.
Great value and I would recommend this Citadines to anyone.

If anyone qualifies to review this hotel, it’s me. I stayed at the Citadines Apart-​Hotel Holborn/​Covent Garden for 6 weeks while studying abroad in London one summer not too long ago.
It’s very affordable, and it’s right in the center of things. Walking distance to Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and countless pubs and restaurants, it wasn’t the most luxurious, but I was happy where I was.
Rooms are cleaned weekly. Breakfast out for you to grab each morning until 9AM. I hardly ever made that… did I mention London has a great pub/​club/​nightlife scene? When I did drag myself out of bed, they had eggs to boil, bread to toast and chocolate croissants to devour. And there was coffee. Essential.
It’s also literally right next door to Pizza Express. A London staple (at least for me while there).
I wouldn’t recommend staying here as long as I did, but it was pre-​arranged through my university and was definitely good enough.
My only real problem with the place came on my final night there. My flight back to San Francisco was canceled due to terrorists plotting to blow it (and several others) up over the Atlantic. [Yes, the reason you can no longer fly with large amounts of liquid, gel, etc.] Suffice it to say, the front desk staff found me an available room for two extra (unplanned) nights, but were incredibly rude about it when I was obviously a little freaked out.
Assuming terrorists don’t strike, I’d definitely recommend this Apart-​Hotel.
