    Lovely modern room, funky interior design, great location. If you’re coming from Mile End then Google Maps tried to make me go all around Victoria Park to get there but it’s literally just down the main road. Easy check in and out process. Safe and quiet despite being above a bar. Stayed for one night and will stay again next time I’m in London.
