Apex Temple Court Hotel
The bed was uncomfortable the bath was not able to be emptied due to a faulty waste system and perhaps most disappointing was the club lounge which only served drinks with no snacks One of the fridges was broken and the coffee machine was temperamental A poor experience compared to the Hilton or other equivalent lounges I wouldn t have minded that much but I purposely opted for the more expensive room with lounge access Food in the restaurant was good and the size of the room was excellent

We were unable to check in when we arrived and had to wait until half 2 by which time we were off to the ballet and did not arrive back at the hotel until 6 o clock However being the weekend before Christmas I can understand the hotel was very busy and the staff were as helpful as they could possibly be I informed the hotel that we were staying for our anniversary when asking for a good view from the room and we were upgraded to a balcony with a wonderful view of London Staff were friendly and even put our bags in the room ready for when we arrived back at the hotel later in the day

Apex Temple Court Hotel
The standard room was small perhaps one of the more expensive ones would have been better You literally could just walk around the edge of the bed Breakfast was very expensive We didn t bother just 5 minutes walk along the road was Pret where the price was a quarter as much The room was very quiet considering we were in Central London The hotel is tucked away in a courtyard which is nice Very comfortable bed very nice walk in shower The location of the hotel is excellent easy 20 minute walk to Convent Garden or St Paul s Cathedral or Embankment to catch a boat along the Thames

It s not really a bad experience but I did find a pair of socks from the previous guests in the corner of the bedroom There was also an awareness of noise when the outside door was opened and closed so I would request a different room next time Comfortable room good breakfast and cooked options included in the price Nice bar area too

Very few cons Entry from street was how we entered initially Not best with luggage Rear court entry hard to find was better Some cabs knew some did not Also lack of hooks in entry or bath made for sleek look at some loss of function Many pros Very pleased here Modern clean Large room and bath Excellent stay Helpful staff Usually stay west of here but this location turned out to be perfect for this trip

No Negative We were a party of ten adults booked for a special friends birthday The staff upgraded the Birthday girl s room and had it decorated with balloons and banners that friends had mailed down This made a very special birthday a very memorable weekend Staff at the hotel were very obliging and couldn t do enough for us all
9/22/2015
Apex Temple Court Hotel
Breakfast is very expensive 21 12 5 even if compared to hotels like the Househorse Guards where it costs some 18 for a richer variety of products a more comfortable restaurant and a more personnal service It s better to go to Balthazar or even a Starbucks where you feel you re paying for what you get The hotel is clean and well located between both Temple and Chancery Lane tube stations but not exactly that close to them The room size is very good clean and you ll find everything you need The bed is more for the very soft kind I personally would prefer them to be neither soft nor hard Staff is efficient and very kind
9/20/2015
Apex Temple Court Hotel
No Negative What a superb hotel The room we had was beautiful and we had a great view of the London Eye As it was my boyfriends 30th birthday they also provided a complimentary cake Everything we wanted to get to was in walking distance which meant traveling round even late at night was easy

Apex Temple Court Hotel
The grubsrew that secures the tap faucet to the Tap mixer unit was missing and was only discovered to be missing when the tap was used and water pressure then pushed the faucet off the mixer tap base this was reported to reception on Sat Sun and Monday morning still no fix before check out amusing the first time you flood the bathroom and take a cold shower More amusing when the second time it is not you who gets wet Definitely not amusing when it happens a third time because maintenance cannot fix the faucet only push it back on An excellent hotel with a great location Apart from a tap malfunction in the main bathroom everything was great A special mention to the concierge who managed to secure us tickets for the theatre at very short notice The Master suite was very roomy and very tasteful I would not hesitate to stay here when I am next again in London
9/1/2015
Apex Temple Court Hotel
Only minor thing was room wasn t ready 2 hours after we could have checked in We then waited another hour with a complimentary drink it didn t detract from our stay but if we had waited 3 hours it would have time from check in to room ready The staff were friendly the room didn t want for anything the ensuite was large and modern breakfast was fabulous

Apex Temple Court Hotel
The only issue we had was finding the hotel via our taxi drivers Do a little research on the location beforehand to help your taxi driver out The staff as incredibly helpful and attentive and the concierge is able to book tickets to attractions for us which made the whole process so easy We had a package for free breakfast our first night and the breakfast was amazing The location of this hotel is incredible It s located on a small side street that is very quiet but off of the main road in London Fleet St Couldn t have imagined a better place to stay in London

8/30/2015
Apex Temple Court Hotel
The only tiny issue I have is that there is no green tea available in the room without having to call room service The staff as well as the location and the tabouli rooms make this an ideal hotel for myself and partner to stay at every month when we are in London

Breakfast could have been better organised with a few extra staff although the hotel appeared to be fully booked and therefore was very busy A few items were unavailable on Sunday due to shortages The breakfast itself was great and the staff impeccable We were visiting London to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and the complementary upgrade to a deluxe room was the icing on the cake Thank you Apex x
