Point A Hotel London Shoreditch Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Point A Hotel London Shoreditch on Paul Street, you immediately get that this is a hotel that knows its audience. The building sits right in the thick of one of London’s most creative neighborhoods, and honestly, the location alone makes this three-star property punch above its weight. I mean, you’re literally surrounded by street art, independent coffee shops, and that unmistakable Shoreditch energy that draws people from all over the world.

The Shoreditch Advantage

What I love about staying here is how you’re genuinely in the heart of everything that makes this area special. You can walk to Brick Lane in about five minutes — perfect for late-night curry runs or weekend market browsing. The Old Street tube station is close enough that getting into central London is actually pretty painless, but you’re far enough from the tourist crowds to feel like you’re experiencing the real city. Couples seem to get this particularly well, which makes sense given how romantic those cobblestone streets can be in the evening.

The Room Experience

The rooms here are what I’d call smart and efficient rather than spacious. Point A has this whole concept down to a science — everything you need is there, but they’ve stripped away the unnecessary bits to keep costs reasonable. The room I stayed in was compact but cleverly designed, with a really comfortable bed and surprisingly good blackout curtains (trust me, this matters when you’re trying to sleep off jet lag). The bathroom is small but functional, and the shower pressure is actually decent, which isn’t always a given in London hotels.

Breakfast and Dining

The breakfast setup here really impressed me, especially considering the price point. They’ve got this buffet spread that covers pretty much every dietary requirement you can think of — continental options, vegetarian, vegan, even gluten-free choices. It’s not fancy, but it’s fresh and there’s enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying multiple nights. The restaurant area gets busy around 8 AM, so I’d suggest going a bit earlier or later if you prefer a quieter start to your day.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this is a straightforward hotel that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than it is. What it does well is give you a clean, comfortable base in one of London’s most exciting neighborhoods without breaking the bank. The staff genuinely seem to care about making your stay work, and there’s something refreshing about a hotel that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right rather than trying to be everything to everyone. If you’re the type of traveler who spends most of your time exploring the city anyway, Point A Shoreditch gives you exactly what you need and puts you right where you want to be.

Exploring London drifts through historic pubs, modern galleries, and dusk-lit bridges arching over the Thames.

Reviews of Point A Hotel London Shoreditch

  • Ana from Slovenia (8/10)

    Our experience at the hotel was great. The room is as it’s seen on the picture – small, yet very functional. There are no wardrobes (as seen on pictures) so it comes handy being organized. the rooms are very tidy, the bed, sheets and pillows are very comfortable and cozy and we got fresh towels every day & fresh linen on the second day. Charging ports are type USB and regular uk sockets. The staff was very very nice, we had the most contact with Eugene who helped us with all of our needs and we were very thankful for his help. Compliments also to everybody else. Breakfast was very delicious, with various options and fully stocked at all times. For us the location was great, there are 3 underground stations nearby in each directions and even closer is the bus stop.
    Overall it was a great, lovely experience. I will be happy to come again someday.

    Convenient location, nice staff and clean. It's compact, but I know that, and I don't mind as I also know to expect a clean room in central London from a brand of hotel I've used before
