Would Stay Again

This hotel was relaxing, and very accommodating. We were able to get parking in site, which was very nice! Friendly staff and a satisfying breakfast. Would stay again. I will say, the rooms for what it is priced at do not quite meet the mark. Then again, London in general is pricey so..

Being close to tube is great for getting around but rooms aren’t functional if you plan on staying longer than overnight. Barely any space to hanger clothes and no shelves or drawers, you have to keep things in your suitcase. Also the air conditioner doesn’t function to full power, room was 29 degrees. The gave us 2 floor fans to compensate

This quirky little hotel was our landing spot for seven nights. The pod bed/bathroom is definitely funky but was comfortable for the three of us. We had complete control of the AC and could adjust it as needed. Excellent hot breakfast was included with our package. There is also great food within walking distance, easy access to the Underground, and a relatively quiet neighborhood. That said, the local area is gritty and covered in graffiti/street art. I don’t recommend walking around at night, but you should definitely explore the area during the day.

The hotel is well situated, a short walk from Aldgate East Tube Station and close to lots of cafés, bars and restaurants in the Whitechapel area of East London. The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The free hot drinks machine on each floor is a nice touch, although I wouldn't want to be in the room next to it as it's a rather noisy and attracts a lot of foot traffic!
