What guests said
Good, but definitely needs attention to cleanliness
6.0Location, facilities, and staff were great. Loved that they had good quality milk and sparkling water. Utensils and everything else you could need!
The carpets in the room were extremely dirty and thick with black marks and sticky. The pillows were lumpy, and smelt terrible full of sweat and stained! The room smelt of BO and cigarettes so much so that I had to open and leave the window open. There were no English tea bags only coffee. Also the shower gel was heavi…

8.0I like the location of the property. A two minute walk from Aldgate East and plenty of restaurant and convenient stores nearby!

Disappointing
7.0Close to subway
They gave us a first floor shabby room, it’s dark and with the other buildings right in front the window, coving the natural light. No view at all. It’s a dark corner room which is not the same standard displayed on the site which we booked. No bedside table!!

Nice hotel but poor customer service. There's better value for money.
5.0Great location, nice terrace, overall good rooms. We had to switch rooms because of a broken Aircon and staff was helpful.
Upon arrival, we cancelled the breakfast we mistakenly booked online. Staff told us we'd be refunded swiftly. However, it took several weeks of insisting and a complaint to booking.com to get a response from the hotel. Furthermore, they only refunded for half of the stay. I never heard back and am waiting for the money…

Good location and value for money.
9.0Breakfast could have been better. The scrambled eggs were very dry.
The scrambled eggs were very dry and bland. The sound insulation in the rooms is not good at all and you can literally hear the chatter in the neighbouring room.
