The hotel is in a vibrant area with great access to Spitalfields, Brick Lane, and near Tower Bridge. The rooms are basic but clean with a comfortable bed, equipped with a fridge. The service is super friendly, always helpful with a smile, even though the check-in process is not the most welcoming. The location is safe, near Aldgate East tube station, perfect for city workers. The dining experience can be a bit disorganised, but there are iconic sandwiches available. Overall, a good value for money stay.

I was pleasantly surprised by the design of the room, even though the shower wasn't very powerful and it took longer than usual to rinse off. The room was pitch black when the lights were off, which was perfect for sleeping. The interior design was quite interesting, but there were no windows as I had booked.

The hotel is conveniently located minutes from Algate East tube station, making it easy to access popular spots like Brick Lane, Spitalfields, and the Tower of London. However, depending on the time, there were encounters with beggars and strangers, which impacted the feeling of safety. The proximity to Aldgate tube stations was a plus, and having 24-hour reception was helpful for late check-ins.

The hotel rooms were a good size for London and well situated, with a nice, quirky, and homey resto/bar. However, they felt somewhat unfinished and lacked enough sockets for our devices. The persistent odor was a downside, which improved with air freshener, and the air conditioning struggled in larger spaces. Overall, a mixed experience.

Despite some room issues like the lack of a window and a strong smell after cleaning, my stay was saved by the comfortable bed and inner room allowing for a peaceful sleep. The service was friendly but a bit slow during check-in. The location near Aldgate East station was the highlight, though the mold marks were a downside. The dining experience was disorganized and lacking variety. Overall, the hotel has its quirks but offers value for money with great proximity to transportation.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very welcoming and had everything I needed, although I had to pay an early check-in fee for just one hour. The location was perfect, especially for using public transport, but walking back at night felt a bit unsafe due to the surroundings. The dining experience was a bit overpriced, so I didn't eat there, but the gluten-free options were a nice touch. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had a quirky and comfortable stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, well laid out, and generally a nice funky place to stay for the night, albeit a bit noisy due to its location next to the back entrance and bike lockers.

The dining experience was surprisingly excellent, offering a delicious and varied selection of dishes.

The hotel has a trendy, modern feel with nicely decorated rooms. Self check-in is a plus, but the rooms are a bit worn down with noise from the corridor and street even when windows are closed. The shower also needs better cleaning. The location is perfect, close to public transport and walking distance to many attractions, with a great atmosphere in the bar area. The dining experience offers varied options but with some disappointing dishes at a high additional cost. Service is friendly and helpful overall, although some staff may prioritize chatting among themselves.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but being in the basement in a disabled room made me feel like I was in a hospital bathroom rather than a hotel. The service was amazing, with very attentive staff, although the basement area had a faint janitorial smell. The location was convenient, with nearby attractions within walking distance, but the neighborhood wasn't the most charming. The dining options were good but could use a bit more variety, and the facilities were satisfactory overall.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were nice and had most of the things you need for a comfortable stay, although they had no windows and were unfortunately located just beside the elevator, making it a bit noisy at times. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who knew their roles well and were always on hand to assist. The location was cool, with a great vibe and proximity to the metro station for easy access to various places, but it wasn't close enough to the main attractions. The dining experience was acceptable, though there could have been more fresh fruit options. Overall, a modern and stylish hotel geared towards comfort.
