Modern 1-Bedroom Apartments in Shoreditch, Old Street

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about these apartments? They’re actually modern. I mean, really modern – not that fake “contemporary” vibe you get at chain hotels where everything’s beige and trying too hard. Walking into one of these places on Old Street feels like stepping into someone’s well-designed flat, which I guess is exactly the point.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with tourist crowds. You’re literally a two-minute walk from Old Street station (the Northern line can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on rush hour, but hey, that’s London). Boxpark Shoreditch is right there when you need coffee or want to grab something quick, and honestly, the whole area just buzzes with that creative energy Shoreditch is known for. I love that you can walk to Brick Lane in about ten minutes – perfect for late-night curry runs or weekend market wandering. The street itself gets a bit busy during the day since it’s a main road, but the apartments are set back enough that you’re not dealing with constant traffic noise.

What really works about these places is that they feel lived-in rather than sterile. The kitchens are actually functional – I’m talking proper counter space and appliances that work, not those tiny hotel fridges that barely fit a sandwich. The beds are comfortable (though I wish the pillows were a bit firmer, but that’s probably just me), and there’s enough storage that you can properly unpack if you’re staying more than a few nights. The WiFi is solid, which matters when you’re trying to work or stream something after walking around the city all day. Check-in was surprisingly smooth – they send you codes ahead of time, so no awkward waiting around in lobbies.

The 7.3 rating feels about right, actually. It’s not luxury, but it’s not trying to be. There are some quirks – the shower pressure could be better, and the walls aren’t soundproof if your neighbors are having a loud night. But for the price point and location, you’re getting genuine value. I mean, you’re staying in one of London’s coolest neighborhoods in a place that feels like home rather than a hotel room. The whole area transforms at night too – those industrial buildings light up, and suddenly you’re in the middle of London’s creative heartland rather than just another tourist staying somewhere generic. If you’re the type who wants to explore East London properly and come back to somewhere that feels real, this works. Just don’t expect a concierge or room service – you’re trading those hotel perks for authenticity and a much better sense of what living in London actually feels like.
