Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Barley House is a popular choice, particularly noted for its convenient location within a short walk to the Barbican. Guests often appreciate the comfortable and spacious rooms, some of which feature nice touches like a fridge, coffee, a sofa, and even DVD players with a selection of DVDs, creating a home-from-home atmosphere; the fast WiFi and smart TVs are also a plus. While most find the accommodations satisfactory, a couple of guests have mentioned issues with towel freshness. There's also a lovely bar called The Woodside just a 5-minute walk away.
