    It's the best place to stay because it's close to train station, shops, pubs and of course center.

    -The power sockets near the main bed were without electricity -The sink in the room had no water supply The staff was extremely polite, but none of them had the slightest idea of how to handle the problems described above

    The room was completely equipped with all the technik which makes you feel like at home. For example it has: -european style power sockets -toaster -microwave oven -electric kettle -portable aircon -fan -washer and dryer on the balcony -dishes sets, cups, plates etc. So looks like heaven for tourists who want to save money but meanwhile there were a few cons..

    The sofa beds weren't comfortable, even with 2 mattress toppers we could still feel the hard parts underneath The shower drain was blocked when we arrived but it was quickly sorted after reporting the problem on the next day The windows were big and heavy, a bit hard to operate at first, only one closer to the bed opened - the building is old and it's not a hotel's fault but it's worth noting

    Great location, close to the tube and about 20-25 minutes walk away from Tower Bridge Very friendly, helpful and accommodating staff, Adam checked us in and gave us some directions how to get around for the beginning of our stay Room was clean and we even got it cleaned throughout our stay which was a nice surprise

    The room was small. On the photos and what's advertised as a square ft did not match so 5 of us was cramped.

    We did fit in the room - 5 of us. And it was not too far from Shoreditch.

    There is a fee for a late check-in, even if you call beforehand, and if it’s less than an hour. The room was quite small, it was difficult to fit two small luggage bags. It also can get pretty hot in summer.

    Friendly staff, not far from Whitechapel metro station and clean room. Had mini fridge, fan, iron/ironing board, and a hair dryer.

    My room was in the basement and the towels, beddings, sheets etc are stored opposite to my room. Not in a cupboard so you can see those and it is not quite pleasant, makes you feel like you are sleeping in a storage room. Also, the cleaner had to take stuff from there so someone was constantly at front of my room I wished for more privacy. I was expecting more for this price as I paid quire a lot of money. The floor was chipped in my room and the shower door was not stable. Some things were very old in the room. No air-conditioning only fan.

    Staff was amazing, friendly and very helpful.

    The room was stiflingly hot with no fan or air conditioning and the windows in our room can’t be opened. There was a door to a small terrace that overlooks other guests, but it offered limited ventilation and when it rained the carpet got soaked. The base of the door and frame were badly rotted and falling apart. The shower was coming off the wall and the bathroom tiling was badly finished.

    Nothing to say apart from the fact that the bed was comfortable.

    Kettle and Tea but no teaspoons and milk. Laundry outside the room so lots of noisy activity with bags and all kinds of goings on. I should have mentioned that the kettle is in a dangerous place when plugged in because the drawer it’s on slides in and out, and isn’t sturdy. Only saying this now because I forgot to mention it.

    Staff are great, Building is cute, Location is 90 seconds from the hospital, Comfy bed although it’s a bit squeaky, Clean room and en suite with great shower, Microwave, Fridge, Toaster, Smart tv with Netflix, Key code to get in

    Because the room was at the top of the building and had a window towards the sun, it was quite hot inside after warm sunny days. Also, I've never understood carpeted floors.

    The rooftop view was very lovely, the wifi worked well and the fridge in the room allowed for cold refreshments.

    Not a great check in. Asked for damage deposit but no explanation of damage terms - no rules or guidelines, examples. And got charged twice (different amounts).

    Got a decent room with a balcony, which was a welcome upgrade. Nice views. Small room but satisfactory.

    A bit noisy, you can easily hear other guests in the hallway. Was woken up at 5am by the person in the room above me shouting all kinds of things. My room was beneath floor level, which is fine for me, but some people might dislike that, plus there was no real window. Still very much "felt like a hotel" nonetheless.

    Small but comfortable room + bathroom, clean, comparably affordable. Given London hotel prices, this seems like about the best one can get in the area & price range.

    Our group was split between two rooms (not an issue) but the the one room had a very large window and the curtain was too small to cover the window.

    We stayed on the first floor next to the reception which was easy with bags. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. Easy walk to the train station.
