First, I stayed here for only a week and it's clearly intended as a long term place. That said, the differences were minor so I still feel confident giving this rating.
The biggest issue, by far, is not having a formal front desk and ALSO not having a good self-service process. I still have not received the entry code or room code I was promised I'd receive by the Moorgate's own system. I've checked all the folders and trash in my email but it's nowhere to be found. That's a big issue since they ALSO have no one you can ask for help on site and the phone reception only knows so much about the hotel. After a literal hour, I was able to get it sorted out.
The other issue is that for some reason when I showered water dripped...from the ceiling...Never had that happen before. I think there may be a pipe leak behind the drywall but wasn't there long enough to find out.
I had one minor issue with the iron but they resolved that quick enough so I give them kudos for that. Likewise, the rest of the room was very pretty and they had all the things I'd expect to want in a longterm stay: fridge, dishwasher, laundry in room, iron, safe (though too small for a laptop!). The bathroom was really nice which sounds specific but London hotels have terrible bathrooms in my experience. I was pleasantly surprised save the item mentioned above.
In general, not bad and appears well kept so perhaps my experience was aberrant. That said, it was...
Read moreHad a great stay at The Moorgate by Cove. Check-in was seamless, and while there’s no luggage storage on-site, I was able to store my bags at their sister property, Cannon Cove, just a 10-minute walk away. The entrance is a bit hidden — be sure to use the Moorgate side (not London Wall) if you’re arriving with luggage, as it’s the only side with lift access.||I booked a large studio (unit 12), which turned out to be a spacious corner unit overlooking London Wall and Moorgate. There’s a short flight of stairs to the room, but once inside, the space was excellent: comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen with a mini dishwasher, and the added bonus of in-room laundry. The modern bathroom featured heated floors, which was a nice touch.||The location is fantastic—quiet and non-touristy, yet just a short walk to Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations. While there was some minor noise from upstairs guests and light vibrations felt from the bed (likely due to the train tracks below), and the curtains didn’t fully block the early morning sun, these were small trade-offs for the overall comfort and value.||Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-appointed, quiet stay in...
