Native King’s Wardrobe, St. Paul’s

We asked for a cot bed, and it was ready when we arrived, with a good mattress and a cellular blanket. There was plenty of hall space for our pushchair, and the kitchen was well stocked. The kettle was very clean, which mattered to us for making bottles. The apartment was nicely furnished and clean. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. They let us leave our bags before check-in and after checkout. The location was really good too. One downside was the heating and cooling, which was said to be centrally managed, so the room did get quite hot.

The location, space, and staff make Native Kings Wardrobe easy to recommend. Tube stations are close, and St Pauls is nearby too. From a bedroom window we could see the top of its dome, and hear the bells. They didn't wake us, despite what some people have posted. This was our second stay, in a two-bedroom, two-bath unit with a living and dining area bigger than ours at home. We had the option of included breakfast at The Counter, which had a good menu and was convenient. The staff there were great and gave us extra coffee pods when we asked. A couple of things kept this from being a five-star stay. The living and dining room was on the dark side, which might make working difficult, and the TV had no signal. Staff came up and got it working, but it stopped again the next night. Since we were nearly leaving, we didn't bother asking again. Still, we enjoyed our stay.

We had the loveliest wedding morning here. Andrea brought our breakfast order right to the room, and the team seemed so excited to see us dressed for the day. At checkout we discovered breakfast had been comped, which we hadn't expected. They really looked after us and made the morning feel special. My now-husband and I stayed for two nights for our wedding at Stationers Hall. The location was perfect for the venue, and we were kindly upgraded to a two-bedroom suite, giving us plenty of room to get ready without seeing each other. The rooms and courtyard also worked well for our getting-ready photos. When we arrived with a car full of things, the staff helped unload and get us settled.

We ate at The Counter here a couple of times and thought it was quite good. The whole place felt laid back, communication with staff was easy, and we had everything we needed. Several Underground stations nearby made getting around simple. The bells from St Paul’s are gorgeous. It felt like having our own flat for a week. We stayed in the room shown on the website, and it looked just like the photos. The bed and bath were comfortable, and the kitchen had what we needed. Our studio faced the street, so we heard service vehicles now and then, but it was generally quiet. Highly recommend!
