I had a mixed experience at The Residence London City. On one hand, it was basic and clean, which I appreciated, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

Plus, the location was tricky to find, being tucked down an alleyway in a not-so-great neighborhood.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is fairly central, but not in the best neighborhood.
