Tune Hotel

Does the basics. If you get all the add on its fine for a week as long as you don’t mind a small room. I often stay here for work and it is perfect when you just want a bed for the night.
The staff are always welcoming when you check in and reception being open ²⁴⁄₇ is very handy.

I’ll be honest and say I wouldn’t have gone to London without a reasonably priced place to stay. It’s not a cheap location. I knew I was getting a small room but since I was only staying 3 days by myself it turned out great. The staff is fantastic. I’ve read other reviews complaining about the staff. But I’ve found friendliness gets you friendliness in kind and I got it from the staff. Smile your in London.
The room was very clean. Everything worked. The facilities (bath) is first rate. I never noticed noise or vibration from the nearby train station. I was on the top floor. Lots of places to eat nearby. No frig in the room.
In all honesty, you get more than you pay for. Yes it’s small, but who cares. I came to see London. For what little time I spent in the room, it was perfect. I did lounge a little watching tv and it was fine.
I will give you 1 warning. There is a small step up to the bath and another in the shower. Lift your feet or you may kick them when your half awake. They should put a little yellow tape or something to make them visible. I hurt my toe pretty badly. Otherwise, it was a great place for a short stay at a fantastic price for London.
The Location is perfect. Bike rental was at the end of the street and very easy. Buses every few minutes. Grocery store and drug store nearby across from Liverpool Station. The Thames is a leisurely walk down the street or a fast bus ride.
This hotel is the best traveling choice I’ve made in years.

The rooms are very very basic, the hallways remind you of a hospital or old college dorm room. The room we had was too small. We had no room to put our suitcases. I wish I had paid a little more for more room at a nicer hotel. I wouldn’t recommend. It’s cramped for 2 people.

I booked a room with Tune, only to find out hours later that my flight itinerary needed to change. So no longer staying in London, I cancelled. This was literally done within hours.
To my surprise, unlike almost EVERY other hotel in the world, Tune does not return money when canceling (even if canceling well in advance).
When I asked about my credit due they stated «As per our term and conditions which you agreed…». Citing the fine print for this ridiculously strict and unfriendly rule makes me feel cheated.
Will definitely NOT recommend this hotel.

Stayed there during a long weekend trip when we wanted to check out east London like the brick lane and shoreditch area. The location is perfect for that!!!
The hotel does what it says. I didn’t realize when booking that they charged extra for everything but in our rate everything important was included like wifi, hair dryer, … It was surprisingly calm in the room (418), ie not much noise from the street or neighbors.
Great choice if you want to have a simple, descent place to crash and don’t mind that it’s only 11 sqm.

This was my second stay at this hotel and I think it’s brilliant value for money. As long as you know what you get for the basic price and that everything else costs extra then there are no surprises.
The woman on Reception was a little curt but she dealt with our request for a late check out promptly and efficiently.
The hotel is in a great spot: a stones throw from trendy Shoreditch, Spitalfields market and Brick Lane.
I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Ich bin nach wie vor sehr begeistert von den Tune Hotels.
Beim letzten Londonaufenthalt war ich im Tune Hotel Paddington.
Jetzt hab ich mal das Hotel an der Liverpool Street ausprobiert.
Die Lage ist super. In der Nähe der Truman Brewery, Spiralfeder Markets, Brick Lane, Shoreditch, Hoxton…
Wer auf Street Art steht, aka Grafitti oder Schmierereien, ist hier genau richtig.
Bushaltestellen sind 50 Meter vom Haus, Liverpool Street Station 5 Min. zu Fuß. Der Shoredith BoxPark ist ebenfalls direkt um die Ecke.
Die Zimmer der Tune Hotels sind einfach, nett und sauber, mit Föhn, Safe und TV, der aber extra kostet. WLAN kostet auch extra, aber das ist bei diesem Preis nur allzuverständlich…
So, über Weihnachten wird das Tune Hotel in Westminster getestet :-)

This is the experience we had at the Tune Hotel Liverpool Street.
We had previously stayed at the Tune Hotel in Kings Cross where we had a great experience, though this one fell short on the mark.
We arrived around 1pm and we knew that check in wasn’t until 3pm, we was going to let them take our bags so we could explore London, the lady behind reception pointed that if we wanted to check in early it would be an extra £10 or if we wanted them to take our bags it would be £2.50 a bag, we never got this at the other Tune Hotel and they happily took our bags for free, not the case at this hotel, they seem to have a new policy that if you want something then you pay for it!
So we took our bags and explored London for a bit then headed back for 3pm, When we got back there was a new lady on reception who took our details and explained how things worked, with paying for wifi, towels, tv and other items you had to pay for!
We had booked our night with Hotel Tonight and the room had to be allocated on arrival, so we was allocated a room on the ground floor, we opened the door and found out it was a handicapped room, i went back to reception to ask for another room and she said a firm NO and that they couldn’t change the room because it was the one the hotel has allocated to us, though couldn’t see why they still couldn’t change it? Anyway the room was a good size with a nice comfy bed, huge tv, nice bathroom with a big bathroom and powerful shower, we had a view of a building site so nothing to write home about really.
A few minutes after relaxing in the room we heard a rumbling noise, then thought nothing else of it, then it happened again then again, so back to the reception i go, the receptionist came back and said it was the Underground Trains what run underneath the Hotel. The noise was extremely uncomfortable and asked to move again and said she couldn’t do anything about changing our room.
After getting back to the Hotel i tried connecting to the Wifi but it just wouldn’t connect so went to reception to be told it was down and it would be back up and running in 30 minutes, 1 hour later it came back on, the wifi seemed ok but had trouble connecting most of the time.
We both got use to the noise and had a nice nights sleep eventually, due to the few problems we had though i don’t think i will ever use a Tune Hotel again unless i was staying on a budget.
The great thing about this Hotel though is the Fantastic location, its only a 5 minute walk to the trendy bars of Shoreditch and Hoxton and only a 5 min walk to Liverpool Street Station.

Affordable hotel, if you need something extra, like a window, you have to pay for it. But hey, who really spends time inside the hotel room?

Jon D’s review is totally spot-​on. I almost just wrote «ditto,» but I’ll add a little bit more.
I’m more of a traveler instead of a tourist, so I’m not looking for luxury and grandioso places to stay on vacation. I want a cool neighborhood that’s off the beaten path, a comfortable room, and a price tag that’s less than $ 150 per night.
And that’s exactly what Tune is.
Some may think of Tune as a «nickel and dime» place, but I think of it more like à la carte — you only pay for what you need. Even with a few upgrades (room with a window, TV + Internet), the price was extremely reasonable.
The room was super cute, but super tiny. Seriously, we’re talking barely enough room to turn around. But who cares, right? The bathroom was also small, but it was new, clean, and totally functional. Yes, everything was small, but the room was really comfortable.
The staff was really nice and helpful, and the neighborhood — Shoreditch — is really fun, artsy, and not touristy. The only pain in the ass was that the walk from Liverpool Station was a bit of a haul, especially when you do it several times each day. But I’d totally stay at this Tune hotel the next time I’m in London.

For those who don’t know, Tune Hotels use a really unusual business model: You pay a low price for a very basic no-​frills room, and anything else you want costs extra. For about £40/​night you get a bed and a bathroom. Want towels? That’s extra. Want your TV to work? That’s extra. Want a window? Extra. They’ll charge you for everything from early check-​in, to WiFi, to maid service, to coffee in the lobby.
As long as you’re aware of all that, you can have a good stay here. Our room was clean and comfortable enough if all you want to do is shower and sleep. The bathroom is tiny but private and functional. We had a pleasant enough view of quaint back gardens and chimney pots of the neighborhood homes. Staff was very friendly and helpful, accommodating our last-​minute early check-​in and printing some train tickets for me (at 10p per page, of course, haha). I do recommend at least upgrading to a window room on the second floor; friends of ours got a room without a window, and their room was much smaller, in the basement, and had a lot of noise from the Underground running past. It’s a pretty minimal upcharge, and well worth it.
The Tune is within walking distance of the Liverpool station, but it’s a little farther than it might seem on a map. When you’re jet-​lagged from a redeye flight, exhausted from taking two different trains from Heathrow, and dragging a bunch of luggage, it’s easier just to force a taxi to take you there.
A very basic hotel for people who are in town to see London, not to enjoy the luxuries of a more expensive place. The money we saved on our room paid for lots of other fun instead. We were glad we did it!

Compact, clean, user friendly and has everything you need for 60% less than any other local good hotel, ideally located near Liverpool Street, I have a local business so opted to stay here after a long day although I don’t live too far. Overall great experience. The hotel gives you the option to add on extras at a cost which is great because you can tailor your stay to what you need rather than what they think you would want, you can pay a little extra to check out later. Faultless and cheap, great concept. This hotel is basic and small if you’re looking for amazing room service and a good view this is not the hotel for you.
