Good and bad at this trendy Hackney hotel. Courtyard rooms small and a little noisy. Seems a bit understaffed - service can be slow, especially in the bar. Room service team exceptional, doing a very nice in-room breakfast that's not too pricey. Some good amenities but everything a little bit expensive for what you get. Good for a night if you're out and about in East London.
The Curtain is the new jewel in the crown of Shoreditch s up and coming scene and leaves a lasting memory on every visit.
The team is exceptional and venue stunning, with such querky features you just want to come back again and again. I love in particular the rooftop Lido restaurant and pool, Billy s gentlemen s bar in the basement and the fully equipped commercial standard gym.
All in all I can t recommend The Curtain highly enough.
Overcrowded, beer served warm, in a dirty bottle.
UPDATE: The management took the time to respond to my comments which is very much appreciated. Hope to come back and try a cold beer soon!
Underground bar with great cocktails at reasonable price :)
Stylish, chic, but yet lack of many basic hotel qualities. Very nice gym, but so so breakfast. Basic twin rooms have very limited space to open luggage s.
This place is absolutely too cool for me. Went up and checked out the rooftop pool and was blown away by the views. The rest of this property is equally as interesting in different ways. I heard you gotta go to the Sunday brunch and check out the club in the basement.
Done a treatment there . As a therapist I loved the room ..the space , the quiet , the music. I felt more than at home . Love it , can't wait to go back.
I had dinner in top floor restaurant. Absolutely fantastic food and cocktails amazing attentive staff with pool and skyline views!
Loved the space and the restaurant and the detail. And a lovely touch having cupcakes and prosecco delivered for my birthday. Thank you the Curtain!
Nice bar are with a lot of potential. Service is poor unfortunately.
Members club is good. Comfortable, relaxed and unpretentious but still very classy. It's a very creative environment. I really enjoy working here, relaxing after work or having dinner with a friend. It's private if you want it to be or social if you're in the mood for that. It's really whatever you want it to be. There's something for everyone.
New hotel opened in Summer 2017 - 5 minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, beautiful roof terrace for breakfast, great bar and restaurant on site and within the heart of Shoreditch
The staff, rooms, breakfast by the rooftop pool and many other amenities, everything to make your stay magical.
Unreal attention to the details, extremely stylish, high quality and excellent client experience. Will be back
Gorgeous place, helpful staff, impressive decor, Cabaret at the curtain by Gersch and Rox is a fantastic event here. Well equipped venue with trained bar staff and fancy features :)
I came here for the first time on Valentine s Day for an Anti-Valentines Cabaret show. The evening was incredible. From the door staff to the bar staff, they were all lovely and easy going and seemed happy to be there. They welcomed us in and we sat in the downstairs bar area which I think was members only too, me not being a member. We had a round of very nice and very well priced drinks and the evening was incredible. The show was extremely entreating and again the drinks throughout the night were quick to be served and well priced. From what I experienced I would definitely consider becoming a member.
Sunday roast was epic. Tonnes of beef with all the trimmings. Nice pale ale to go with. Not very busy either which is rare in Shoreditch. Great value of you're a member too. We had a great time. Shame we didn't get time to try the retro computer games... Looked fun.
Great location, clean and cozy rooms, steam shower!, friendly service.
Great Place well worth a v isit fantastic location and staff
This place is both a hotel and a members club.
I went there as I'm thinking about getting a membership, so unfortunately I can't tell you about the hotel rooms.
I can tell you about the rest of the place as we were given a guided tour of the whole members section.
There are 3 bars in total.. one on the roof (which hotel guest also have access to) which also has a small pool for members and guests. You can also eat up there and it has a retractable roof, so it's open all year round.
The green room - this is open to the public as well. It's quite large and we'll appointed and is next door to the Red Rooster restaurant. I don't think they serve food in the bar though.
The last bar is called Billy's and this is members only. It has lots of seating on comfortable chairs and Chesterfields in various sized groupings. There is an extensive drinks menu and there is table service. We stayed in this bar after our tour and had a couple's of drinks. It was busy but not crowded, which was great.
There is also a mini club for members. I was told that they hold regular nights there.
There is also a gym that is accessible by members and hotel guests. I'm not a gym person, so I can't say how good it is.
For members there are a few areas dedicated for work. One is a studio style setup with coffee and snacks available. There is a large boardroom style place where you can have bigger, private meetings if you need.
Oh there is also a cinema here too. The person showing us around said that they have regular film nights and also show sports in it.
Overall it looks like quite a nice place, but we're still looking at other members clubs in the area before we make a decision on one.
I am used to going to different hotels for my job but this one is by far one of the best all around .
Everything deserves 5 stars, from the welcoming, to the rooms, cleanliness and price.
Very very strongly recommend
Like a cheap knockoff of Shoreditch house. It s nice enough and the rooms are decent although a little small for the money, but everything is very artificial and although the hotel aims to draw a trendy crowd it does not and is full of suits. The steam showers in the room are really nice and the beds are very comfortable. The bar by the foyer feels very tacky but the Red Rooster downstairs is quite cool. Nothing seems to run very smoothly and the staff all seem quite clueless. Breakfast was ok but nothing special and the service on the rooftop is painfully slow
Modern 5 hotel. Restaurants, bars, banquet hall. It is located in the Shoreditch rave area. The staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Was here just for Halloween. :)
Excellent facilities, beautiful decor, and very helpful and lovely staff. Will definitely stay here again on future trips to London.
The breakfast buffet is great and the rooms are very comfortable. I also made sure to enjoy the steam-shower before leaving! I definitely recommend this hotel if you ever happen to be in London
Great rooms equipped with all you need for a prefect Shoreditch night. Nightlife around.
Classic case of style over substance.
Every bit here lacks of attention and is sub-standard for the price you pay.
From pillow covers with holes in them to room service that took 50 minutes only to bring a bucket of ice, from cold overcooked eggs for breakfast to the juice out of a bottle instead of being freshly pressed for you in the morning.
Really below expectations.
The Curtain is a hip & posh boutique hotel in one of the coolest neighbours in town. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable, they provide you with every amenity needed (and then some!) It would be great to spend a weekend here with friends. We'll be back for sure!
On the rooftop are a restaurant, bar, open area and pool with south facing aspect. They are excellent. Best seating is beside the pool, back to restaurant, facing south. The avocado and egg on toast and the spicy bloody Mary's are very good. Bedrooms are not large but decor is excellent and the mini bar is decent. They need to change the methods to cast from phone to TV (eg a Google dongle to replace Miracast). Red Rooster restaurant on ground floor has a strong reputation.
Was here for an event and what a lovely touch for the events manager to take the time to welcome us and offer a tour of the building and the facilities it has to offer.
Truly a world within with the services it offers to stimulate the body mind and soul!
Staff were friendly and helpful too
Just popped in for a quick drink on way back to the train station great setting and service. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in London.
I'd never heard of the Curtain until a few days ago when it was recommended to me by a friend. What a great venue. It has a really diverse feel across its range of bars and open spaces. I didn't get chance to sample the food while I was there but I'm definitely going to return. The whole of Iook and feel the pace was just different enough to the run-of-the-mill clubs you find in London. The staff were super friendly and the Hotel facilities looked excellent.
Members only gorgeous spaces including a rooftop pool. VIP
Amazing vibe on a hot day. Great terrace with small pool. Food and drink good, service not super speedy but friendly and suited to laid back atmosphere
Hands down my favorite hotel in London. The location is solid, the lobby is clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms, where do I begin? The bed is comfortable, the minibar is fantastic (even if I didn t necessarily drink anything, but definitely one of the more impressive minibars I ve seen). The bed is super comfortable, the fact that each room has Bluetooth speakers is a game changer, the bathroom was amazing, the showers in particular.
Ground floor bar/restaurant is buzzy, well priced food and drinks
Very nice place, good service, fantastic music and delicious food.
I can here for the first time on Valentine s Day for an Anti-Valentines Cabaret show. The evening was incredible. From the door staff to the bar staff, they were all lovely and easy going and seemed happy to be there.

Nice hotel, nice room, very chic style, good rood top bar!
Great friendly staff, amazing views from the rooftop bar.
The hotel went out of their way to change my mind. My first impression was not great, luckily my second was nothing like it. Staff were super friendly and pro-active.
The room was quite something, well designed, a little dark but very interesting and well stocked. The amenities were very good.
The whole experience was comfortable and effortless, the rooftop pool a little cold but what can you expect this time of year with the insane winds.
Tasty cocktails on the roof with a great view and a very well rounded buffet breakfast.
An excellent experience! I loved the concept, very professional, attentive and friendly staff. Lido and Red Rooster restaurants are also recommended with a funtastic environment. I hope to repeat the stay and highly recommend it!

I love the rooftop! It's great to work from there, it feels like holidays!
Excellent location! Good bar downstairs. Room noisy, barman emptying his bottles into the external bins until 3 am. Not a business hotel.
An amazing pace for any creative professional to join. I have met many interesting and potential clients in my time here.
The staff are amazing, Anna Neuhauss, who is part of the business development team, she showed us around and really sold the place. The staff always take care of us when we are here, very kind and humble.
Thank you
Stayed at the Curtain on a StayCation website deal - we booked a City Room for a Sunday night. Upon arrival at 3.30pm we were told to wait in the lobby as our booking wasn't processed. We waited for a bit, maybe 10 mins or so. We then asked More
The coffee was ground coffee. For this place I expected at least a nesspreso. The staff was great though.
What a stay! The entire property screams uniqueness and style. The art, room decor and public spaces make this feel like home while still managing to create an atmosphere of luxury/pampering. The food and beverage venues are outstanding, only overshadowed by musical guests and special events that make Shore-ditch the new hotspot in London. Would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat and can't wait to go back.
Be careful. They charged 17 GPB for merchandise that I did not buy
From the check-in to the check-out, 6 stars place to stay...even includes a little surprise inside the wardrobe.
My partner and I had originally stayed at this hotel for one night and were slightly disappointed with a few missing ammeneties/broken things and the receptionists, especially given the high cost of a room per night. We left a review detailing this.
After seeing my partner's review, the hotel offered to invite my partner over as their guest to make up for this. They informed him that they'd be giving us an upgraded room and breakfast.
When we arrived the reception staff was different to last time and were very friendly this time and provided us with all the essential information as well as letting us know that we had been given the best room in the hotel. Also the second lift was fixed.
We had The Curtain Suite on the 4th floor. We were very impressed with the size and decor of the room. Sophisticated bachelor-pad style with brown leathers, copper, and dim lights, and it was larger than most London flats. Absolutely stunning, with a bath in our room overlooking Shoreditch! The manager had left my partner a hand written note wishing us a nice stay and a small bottle of prosecco and muffins. We thought that was a nice extra touch and that it was quite obvious that they were genuinely trying to give us a better stay and cared for us being happy. Everything that the room needed was there plus more, such as a whole cocktail making set and various premium alcohols and snacks. Very clean, very comfortable.
We swam in the pool in the morning and it was great fun even though there were high winds which made getting out of it freezing cold. Breakfast was a standard buffet English breakfast, with option of cereals and oats with fresh fruit too. We were happy with the meal.
We appreciated the management wanting to invite us over to have a better experience than we had before, even though they didn't have to. And the touch of giving us such an extraordinary room made it evident that they wanted to have happy guests. It was much appreciated and this stay was a success.
I am a member here, the club is great with good facilities and a friendly atmosphere.
They would be a 5 star, if they could make their food and drink prices cheaper or if you didn't told off by the Food Police for eating a cereal bar in the building...
I tend to stay at The Curtain when travelling for business in London. It s in a great location East and quite reasonably priced. Breakfast is always a highlight with some great choices from the buffet as well as a la carte. The gym is a good size and has a Peloton for those who partake. Twin room is a good size for 1 guest, any smaller feels a bit a bit tight. Bed is super comfy.
Beautiful establishment, great spaces and wonderful atmosphere. I look forward to visiting again!
It s our second stay now which is always a treat for our birthdays. The team made us very welcome and added special touches for our celebration.
Outstanding standards and second to none hotel!
Thank you
Nice hotel with friendly staff, but please - I have a do not disturb sign on my door for a reason. Twice housekeeping has been pondering in here - and that costed the fifth star in this review. Rooms are cozy and everything you need is in here. Even a euro plug outlet so you don't have to buy another converter (because you probably forgot yours anyway) Marshall speaker, good TV quality and a spacious bathroom with steam shower.
Currently staying in this fabulous property, the style and attention to details are simply amazing. The place is extremely stylish. This is not a cheap hotel but God is it good, from the steam room in the shower cabin to the roof top swimming pool-bar. The lot is absolutely out of this world. Have yet to find something to complain about. Do yourself a favour and spend some time here.
Used bar service only, it was quiet if not empty, but staff stood to the challenge and served cocktails I was after. I'd say that there are more cost efficient options in the area.
A bit rowdy but music was alright and people enjoyed themselves
Excellent stay at this trendy hotel. Friendly, efficient service at reception and the room was gorgeous. Well done team.
Nice hotel with a upmarket hipster vibe. Noise isolation in room was not great, with noise through the door disruptive at times. Great room with comfy bed, large TV and free fruit/water. Mini-bar and extras are super expensive. Well located in Shoreditch.
Spent a lovely evening here listening to a fab funky singer. Food is tasty but fairly pricey. Go for the experience.
Love love love this hotel and their meeting spaces.
