Fodor's "An art deco town hall, abandoned in the early 1980s and turned into a chic hotel in 2010, is now a lively and stylish place, with the best of the building's elegant original features intact." Full review
Jetsetter "Hip heritage hotel in London's East End with apartment-style rooms, a speakeasy bar and a basement pool." Full review
OysterLuxury
"Striking design mixes Edwardian influences with 1930s art deco style and contemporary touches." Full review
Time Out "In 2010, a grand, Grade II-listed, early 20th-century town hall was transformed into a classy modern aparthotel – despite its location between a council estate and a scruffy row of shops." Full review
Insight Guides "The former Town Hall in Bethnal Green has been converted into guest rooms and apartments. Free Wi-fi, crisp styling and a pool in the basement."
Star Service "Marble floors and columns in the entranceway are traditional, but the furniture that stands atop it is decidedly modern and functional." Full review
Gayot "Few London hotels keep the original style of their old buildings, but Bethnal Green's Town Hall has retained the character and grandeur of its Edwardian origins."
Travel + Leisure "Furnishings are spare and clean-lined, a mixture of Midcentury reissues and new pieces designed by Rare principal Michel da Costa Gonçalves." Full review
Zagat "Bethnal Green’s former town hall houses this luxury hotel where cutting-edge design mixes with art deco and Edwardian details."
Wallpaper "A refreshingly succinct menu that's a solid testament to his flair for thoroughly crowd-pleasing dishes. Innovative concoctions include crispy fish skin with smoked cod and dill. " Full review

Lonely Planet "Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the 'old' King's Cross – once the city's red light district – the Great Northern Hotel, with its curving brick facade, would make its 1854 incarnation proud." Full review
Zagat "Open since 1854, this elegant hotel within King's Cross Station retains its wrought-iron staircases and broad, curved corridors, though guestrooms are thoroughly modern."
Frommer's "Of all the major railway terminal hotels currently in operation in London, the Great Northern is the most distinct—and the smallest." Full review
Star Service "The grand sweeping curve of the hotel is still at the hub of Europe's railway network and is just a few steps from U.K. and international Eurostar rail terminals." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The 91 rooms, with sash windows and vintage Farrow & Bell Shades, are elegant and contemporary, and a few of the bathrooms have roll-top bathtubs." Full review
Jetsetter "Revamped railway hotel with gorgeous rooms, a sultry cocktail bar and a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred chef." Full review
Time Out "From the swanky lighting and the hand crafted furniture to the sleek decoration, everything about the Great Northern Hotel oozes glamour and sophistication." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms aren’t huge, but they have a smart modern edge that includes—daringly for a hotel—cream-colored carpeting...high-standard perks pack the other spaces—a good British restaurant, Plum & Spilt Milk" Full review
