A good Hotel that was clean and comfortable, the staff were very good and helpful, and the breakfast was a very good choice. The Shadwell area is a lovely area with plenty of restaurants and very good bars to view and walk around, giving a very enjoyable time, and is close to the business event we were attending.

Property was easy to get to and find, clean, quiet, friendly staff, everything excepted from a breakfast, and kids were happy with a bed each. However my bed wasnt comfy, there was a few broken tiles and a plug socket not working, no sockets near the beds and not enough for 4 phones to be charged so a little run down but we made do no issues. The biggest down side was unfortunately out of the hotels control, the area, struggled to find somewhere to eat being gluten free and really didnt feel safe walking round in the evening. Wouldn't recommend for families due to the area, although i felt safe once inside the hotel.
